Description

I'd like to have a English to French translation/localization for typical phrases for a small computer game interface. Translator must be fluent in French and should be a gamer, so the translation would be recognized and easily understood by any French casual game player.

Typical phrases to translate are:

1. "Hello and welcome to the Ocean Range! Sink ships to fill the Orange Gauge on the right before Green Timer Gauge turns RED." - there will be 20-30 phrases like that.

2. "Let's have more fun! Shoot 7 ships before the time's up."

3. "You have unlocked a new bonus! Hit an Umbrella to slow all ships down."

4. "Beautiful night, isn't it? Let's see how fast you take down 10 ships!"

5. "You made a great progress, Midshipman. Make 200,000 points in 2 minutes and you'll get your first rank promotion! Your results were outstanding, so we've equipped your sub with a laser as a bonus!", "Tip: You'd have to find the right strategy!"

-----------

I also have about 100 Navy related quotes of famous people - will either need them translated to French, OR have you find 50 or more Navy related quotes and sayings in French of the same quality.

Typical quotes to translate or find similar are:

1. "Out of every 100 men, ten shouldn't even be there. Eighty are just targets. Nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.", "Heraclitus of Ephesus, circa 500 BC"

2. "As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he as a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.", "General Norman Schwarzkopf"

3. "We are outnumbered; there is only one thing to do. We must attack!", "Admiral Andrew Cunningham"

4. "There are only two absolute rules of thumb at sea: Don’t let the people in the water tank, and don’t let the water in the people tank.", "Unknown Sailor"

5. "My rule is: If you meet the weakest vessel, attack; if it is a vessel equal to yours, attack; and if it is stronger than yours, also attack...", "Admiral Stepan O. Makarov"

Again - I need either a translation for over 100 quotes, or I need you to find 50 or more similar quotes or sayings in French (and I'll need a translation to English to see what they mean).

Good morning :) Gamer and translator (only human translation), French is my mother tongue; I am able to translate along with giving sentences the tone that fits, and making the right balance between litterary and familiar language. Regards.
