citard Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 After having read through all the available Aquelarre material, it is very clear that the translations were... less successful than I thought. Along with all the typos, missing content and other hideous mistakes, I now regret choosing French over Spanish in school. I wonder, is there any hope for Aquelarre to continue being a thing in the Anglophone market? Since Nocturnal Media has now died, with both the website and the owner having expired, could Chaosium technically translate it by themselves? If not Chaosium, I wonder who on the internet is brave enough to attempt translation of tons of books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Rickel Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 You could track down the books in the original language and may run them through a few online translators. I have been thinking of doing that for Animonde but can't really find anyone that will ship from France to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is only a distribution agreement of the existing English language product. We don't have the rights to make a new translation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRE Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 You could write directly to the publisher, Nosolorol Ediciones, atencionalcliente@nosolorol.com, Although they are Spanish, I am pretty sure they will understand and reply in English, and they were looking not so long ago for translators for some of their games.
