Hi, I've came across your several edits regarding 'Portuguese - PORTUGAL' being changed to 'Portuguese - BRAZILIAN', would you mind clarifying that are you fixing errors that is on the Store pages (aka Steam, GOG et cetera) or is this something else entirely?

Regards.

fixing errors on store pages

Yeah, already suspected that as many of your edits seem of very good quality. Thanks for your great contributions, especially adding languages to the pages that were added post-launch is often forgotten. My only question is; how certain are you of these Portuguese - PORTUGAL-Portuguese - BRAZILIAN errors? Are you a native speaker of these two languages? Just want to establish your credibility on this language subject to double check that your corrections of store information are actually totally valid.... more a formality than anything else :) Also remember for future edits; it is always good to add a source to your notes that make significant claims like these. This can be an external source (like developer itself, a well-argumented Steam discussion etc.) or just a user-reference (mentioning yourself as the ref with added explanations how you determined it etc.) This will also avoid people questioning your edits.

Im portuguese and i add notes wherever possible. For example, in xbox studios games, i added the patch number where those languages were introduced, especially in flight simulator, that one was a bit hard since i had to search throughly. The worst part is that the publisher doesnt seem to care about updating the store languages support list.

Agree, publishers should keep their store pages up-to-date. But when you find the source of your information, it is also good to at that as a URL reference. And in case you thus find an error in their information, it is good to add yourself as a user ref, explaining why you think there is a mistake etc. :) But still, very nice that you find these errors and fix them on PCGW :)

yes i like pcgw a lot, i forgot how but, how do i reference myself?

Mrtnptrs (talkcontribs)

When editing a page, when you expand "Advanced" (I think expanded by default) you will see a "Reference" option, hover over that and click "checked by user". Found it? Your username and date will be pre-filled in, but nice to edit the comment of it to something like "I'm Portueges and recognized because of this and this that the language x is actually y" :) The "URL" option is thus to add a page on the internet as a source, like the changelog of developers on Steam.

Hello again, do you know how do i change my username? It got like this because of the breakdown pcgw once had and unintentionally typed this name.

Well here is the weird part: my nickname there is DarkSonicPT but as you can see now, my nick is actually that giberish you see right now. So even if i change my nick in that place, it doesnt reflect the change here. Do you know what can i do to rectify this or should i head to discord?

I've renamed your account. It took a while and everything, but it's done.

I've also gone ahead and merged all contributions to your original account over to this one.

Spelunky localizations

Hi! You've added a few official translations to Spelunky half a year ago, that must be available here nexusmods.com/spelunky/mods/8 Well, the link is dead, I can't find it in WebArchive or anywhere else, but I assume it must be a mod that ports official localizations from PlayStation to PC.
