Correction on the title?

**Mulceber** · 01-31-2010, 00:07

One thing that was pointed out about EB I which was wrong and has bugged me ever since is the phrase "Quisque Est Barbarus Alio" - "alius" is not a second declension noun, and thus, the dative of "alius" is not "alio," but "alii." As a result, the subtext to the title translates "Everyone is a Barbarian from another," which I suppose is intelligible, but is hardly proper.

Can this be fixed in EB II? It's not like it requires any complex scripting or anything - just a slight correction to some of the images. -M

edit: I just realized that I put this in the wrong forum - could one of the mods please move it to the EB II forum?

Actually i just put it through a translator ( i don't know latin that much) and i got this meaning

each one is barbarian to another place, so it makes a little bit more sense, since it's a rough translation, and alii was not recognized as a word, maybe it is correct, i don't know if a team with many historical and linguistic scholarcs would make a mistake like that

"Quisque est barbarus alii" seems to be the correct grammar, as proposed by the original poster.

I have no knowledge of Latin at all, but I have read about this before on here. It was a huge thread, and I remember someone explained something. That's all of the help I can offer.

The mistake has been noted, however in the build it was already writen alio.
If you watch the ingame quotes, there is one which says quisque est barbarus alii.

I guess no one bother to change it when it was found out

Yep, I understand that - I just hope they'll make that correction to the build in EB II. -M
