Hi Jasonzzz -

I have a question for you - is there a Chinese equivalent to the expression "Easy as pie" or even "Easy Peasy" ?

If you are using windows, you need to install the "Traditional Chinese" language pack. Then turn on the Control Panel/Regional Options/Tradional Chinese settings.

So, Gan1 Bei1 is GānBēi are both correct.

Here's a bunch of chars to use for the
correct tonal marks...

ā á ă à
ē é ĕ è
ī í ĭ ì
ō ó ŏ ò
ū ú ŭ ù

Now this may be my problem, or it may be FFF.net, but some of those characters are coming through as tiny little boxes. For my own use, and for our viewers at home, is there any advice on what can be done to correct this?

I have another to add to the list, if anyone is still paying attention to this thread.

Da Bi2zi(4?) pronounced dah bee-dzuh

Basically it means big nose, and it's usually referring to someone as a westerner in a not complimentary way, kinda like round-eyes.

also, dong ma can also be dong bu dong which is used more often I think, and means literally do you or do you not understand?

"...what'd yall order a dead guy for?"

"Oh I got respect, i'm just sayin'... GOLD"

Unfortunately, some of the letters didn't make it through. Any chance you could edit the post? I'd dearly like to add it to the main list. It's too cool not to.

Awesome. I'm going to link to this thread in FireflyMUX's LiveJournal community ( http://www.livejournal.com/community/firefly_mux) if that's okay - it should come in handy along with our in-game language file! :)

Nope, don't mind in the least. It does get updated from time to time, so be sure to check back. Updated translations should appear in purple, if I remember to move the color codes around.
