Translation Guidelines — Egypt: Old Kingdom

General

  • Translate for meaning and tone, not word-by-word.
  • Keep brand and product names in English unless there is an official localized name.
  • Keep units and numbers as in the source unless your language has strong conventions.

Placeholders & Special Characters

  • Do not modify placeholders such as {0}, {1}, {name}, %s, %d.
  • Preserve the exact number of line breaks .

Style & Length

  • Avoid leading/trailing spaces.
  • Try not to exceed the source length for short UI strings.
  • Do not add a period/exclamation mark if the source has none, and do not remove it if the source has one.

Consistency

  • Use consistent terms for UI elements (buttons, menus).
  • If unsure, leave a Suggestion and add a comment for reviewers.

Workflow

  • Contributors: submit Suggestions.
  • Reviewers: approve/adjust suggestions.
  • You can request adding new languages if you plan to maintain them.

Do not translate (technical/service keys)

  • Keys matching: *.instance.selectText, *.internal.*
  • Purely technical strings without user-facing text.

Only priests and their servants lived there and worshiped the Sun as the creator of the universe.

<color=cyan>The kings of fractured Egypt continued to build their own pyramids, like their more fortunate ancestors. However due to a weakened economy they could not afford the luxury of earlier times. The only completed pyramid – the pyramid of Ibi – seemed tiny next to the more grandiose pyramids of his predecessors, while its external casing was unrefined. There was no hint of the past majesty of kings.</color>

<color=cyan>Pepi I finishes building his pyramid. Because its shape is perfect, he grants it the name 'Endurance and Beauty of Pepi'. This is later shortened to 'Endurance and Beauty', or 'Men-nefer' in Ancient Egyptian, which in Ancient Greek becomes 'Memphis'. Later a nearby settlement, maintaining this pyramid, would also be known as Memphis, as would the entire region. Thus the royal region would become Memphis.</color>

<color=cyan>Royal cults were initially supposed to be sustained eternally through sacrifices. Yet time showed that worship of royal spirits can cease, ending their eternal life. King Unas decided to commit the sacrificial ritual to the walls of his pyramid in written form: now the deceased could read it himself and be independent of the sacrifices of his descendants.</color>

<color=cyan>Sun temples were important centers of sacrifice distribution. All of Egypt belongs to Ra and only exists because of Ra, who grants a part of earth's gifts to His children – the kings, and kings give those gifts to their subjects. Bountiful sacrifices to Ra were made there for centuries at every sunrise, all for the prosperity of Egypt.</color>

<color=cyan>King Userkaf understood that by completely abandoning the pyramid cult he would weaken royal power. So he resumed pyramid building, but on a much more modest scale. Userkaf erected his pyramid in Saqqara, near the east wall of Djoser's complex, to emphasize a link with an ancient tradition of pyramid building.</color>

<color=cyan>King Shepseskaf understood that building huge pyramids takes the power and resources out of the country and lives of the common people. So he refused to build a pyramid and instead erected a stone mastaba for himself. The king went back to what his ancestors began with, leaving the Giza necropolis and placing his tomb in south Saqqara.</color>

By building his pyramid, king Khufu founded a famous necropolis around it. It was gradually expanded, and the pyramids of his successors Khafra and Menkaura were built there. Their wives, children and officials of highest rank were all buried next to the builder-kings. The Great Sphinx was called on to guard their repose.\n\n<color=green>Growth +{0} <icon=maat/> every <icon=timer/></color>
