Translating Corellia - Part 3


I only have three this time.  The 'welcome' sign was a bit hard to read because of how blurry it is (that's how it appears in-game) but I think I got it correct.

How I Came Up With My Legacy Name


A while back, I revealed this logo I had made for my Legacy.


No one asked about it, no one probably cares, but I'm going to explain how I came up with it just because I feel like it and because I'm the type of person who is curious about these things, as I know others are.

First off, if you can't read Aurebesh it says The Senithesh Legacy there in the center (the other words are Empire, top, and Republic, bottom).  I struggled with the decision of how I wanted it spelled when written in Aurebesh and this is what I settled on.  Now on to how I got to Senithesh.

It's actually quite simple but creative, in my mind;  I used the following Aurebesh letters:

Get it? :)

Now, when writing the name in Aurebesh, I decided I wanted to use the combined letter for 'sh' instead of individual letters for aesthetic reasons.


So there you have it, the simple yet creative way of how I came up with my Legacy name.

Translating Corellia - Part 2

A few more signs gathered from playing this morning/afternoon; one is a sign also seen on Coruscant and has a typo.  Another image is a better angle on a sign so i could read the bottom line.

A Neat Find in SWTOR



So how's this for coolness, I finally looked at some screenshots I took of the scrolling screen on an Alderaan jukebox and it's a list of songs from the game and then some, there's even a KOTOR mention.


Translating Corellia - Part 1


I finally made it to Corellia last night and all of the signage in just the starting area kept me busy for while, taking screenshots and reading.  Sadly, I again found a sign with a typo unless they wanted to spell Corellia as Correlia.  I bugged it, of course, just to be safe.  As always, I try to type them exactly as they appear but sometimes I take liberty by not capitalizing or, in the case of the 'farwan glott' sign, I just did a copy/paste of the 'ae' which happened to be caps instead of lower-case.  In the case of the Galactic Basic sign that has an (or) on it, BioWare likes to mix capital and lower-case letters (and even turn them sideways/upside-down) and there's two letters that look like the other depending on which you use; that's why I put both options I could think of.  For the 'celestial' sign that talks about 'love the hype', I had trouble reading both screenshots I had so I did the best I could with that one.  The sign with the face on it, which can be seen in a few of these, I haven't found a good angle on it yet to be able to read it and take a good screenshot.  I also couldn't read all of the letters in the bottom word of the 'stellar drive shipping' sign.  I'm sure I'll take more screenshots as I progress through the planet so expect another post (or more).
