Splatoon 3 Is REALLY WEIRD In Other Languages
Vložit

- I'm more than used to playing Splatoon 3 in the English language, but I've never seen what other localizations of the game look like. So, only having a background in the English and Spanish languages, I wanted to take a look at a few of those other localizations for the first time. I chose what languages I looked at based on which countries watched me the most and what those countries' official languages were. From splatoon 3 weapons to splatoon 3 maps to splatoon 3 characters, some were understandable translations and others...racked my brain, to say the least. What language do you play Splatoon 3 in?

How many languages can you speak confidently and which ones might they be? Let me know right here in the comments! (P.S. I'm so sorry for some of my pronounciations LOL)
i can speak a bit of spanish byt thats it😰
4 (English, Yoruba, French, Spanish)
Uhhh 1.00000000002
3 (Spanish, Galician and English)
English and asl!
I know a bit of Vietnamese though haha
As a Spanish native speaker, when Alpha speaks Spanish, it sounds like he's speaking Italian 🤣.
Sisi
FR FR
true
Ya, tío hace muchísima gracia es como DERRAMATICO BAÑO o como se llame pero con acento italiano
As an italian I agree
Fun fact : This is the canadian version of the French language. The Squiffer "Lignizateur alpha" becomes the "Décap-express Alpha", the "Pouche-pouche" premium becomes the "Aerogun Premium". "Excellent !" becomes "Joli!", and "Eclaboussé" is replaced by "Tu as liquidé ...!". "Spa C-ta-C" is "Club Cashalot", although a "Cétacé" is the species for Dolphins, etc. There are probably more exemples but these are the ones I noticed.
Yeah as soon as I saw the name for "décap-expresse" I was like wut, that's not the french I use...
MDRRR j'avais pas vu le spa c-ta-c c'est vraiment un nom pas fou jpp
Yeah, I thought so. I have the French version and I was very surprised with the names that showed up.
“Club-Cashalot” sounds like a name for a casino map XD
I’d also would like to think of said casino map having a BUNCH of the Gacha machines all across the whole building too, and the jellyfishes are just gambling away for those capsules 😂
@@Camphreneas Ca$halot is a play on words here, it is homophone to "cash à l'eau" that literaly means "cash to water" but is more accurately translated to "cash thrown in the water (out the window)".
I don't speak those languages, but I think the rainmaker thing is a mix of bazooka and karp
Yes it is
It is
that's what my thought was, it's literally a bazooka carp.
You have been splatted by the BAZOOKA CARP
Bazookarp! I kinda wish it was called that here.
Alpha speaking German (as a German myself) is the most funny thing ever but still wholesome
Ikr 😂
Im German Too and the way he said wundervoll made me laugh
FR
This is funny, especially the german one for me (I'm german). Also 10:20 English is like the only language, where it's just rainmaker. In German, rainmaker is "Operation Goldfisch", so it has something added in front of "rainmaker" like in french. I just had to get this off my chest sorry
It's always something like operation rainmaker
As a Dutch native speaker, it's funny how people fail to pronounce the g correctly
Echt hè?
Ja ik kan ook Nederlands spreken en het is wel heel grapig als een Engelse spreker Nederlandse woorden zecht
kaas
True
Funfacts about the French part, Pouche-Pouche is actually the Quebecois version ! in Europe Aerospray is called Aerogun (and Premium is specific to RG). And Mahi Mahi Resort was also changed to Club Ca$halot in Europe (cachalot means spermwhale)
I was thinking how weird it was that the names were different than I remembered, I thought it was just because I was too used to playing English, but I guess it was just the Québécois version
As someone who speaks german, i can confirm that we don't use the spacebar that much. Like "Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetribswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft" is a real word
i'm taking german class in my highscool, and i'm guessing that this word means something that has to do with an electric projector ? WTF DOES THAT MEANS!!!!!
I'm German and I can confirm that this exists
If I ran into that word in game I would turn my Switch off-
@@Alphastar716 the translation is*inhales deeply* ship electronic regulations building company from the donau
Not 100% accurate
Fun fact The longest German word has 80 letters
BTW As a native Quebec speaker I find it so funny how different the Quebec French version is from the France one. Sometimes some stuff gets lost in translation and in the story mode Captain Cuttlefish literally swears at Octavio with a Quebec native slur
Wait I don’t remember what was the slur
I speak Quebec french too and this is so fun to see him prononce these words. 😂😂
no way, source??? im albertan so i dont know a lot of french sadly, all flew over my head in elementary
in the story mode, the part where Octavio comes in his mech, cuttlefish introduces you to him by saying in french "this dumb*ss octavio is reponsible for stealing the great zapfish"@@CinqAssocSouthSect5DonQuixote
thats golden @@Octa
I don't know if it's directly translating but the rainmaker translating to essentially “bazooka carp” breaks me LMAO
in spanish it's Pez Dorado, which is directly translated to Goldfish xD
I play my Switch on Spanish, and I absolutely LOVE Mr. Grizz's dialouge at the ending, instead he says "I realize now, that I was stuck in the past, unable to accept the new future." Which hits really hard on a personal level, you simply have to accept the present
something about Mr. Grizz in spanish is that he is just called Don Oso (Mr. Bear, for non-spanish speakers) and that's even funnier foreshadowing to him being an actual bear than being called an abbreviation of a type of bear
@@Kobalent mhm
"Bazoukarpe" is a play on word with "bazouka" which is basically a missile launcher and "carp" the fish but written with a K to match the first word.
honestly, "Bazookarp" would work in English too imo, we have the words for Bazooka Carp
@@polwigle true
Honestly, if you do this again, it would be hilarious to have someone who speaks both English and a different language and they can probably give some information with the languages
That's what I plan on doing next time. I can't even begin to speak in Russian, Chinese, Japanese or Korean but I might bug a few friends to help change that.
@@Alphastar716 Ouh, felt that, especially as someone who speaks German as their native language and learned English to basically an native degree and currently tries to learn Japanese
@@Alphastar716 if u do that again pls put russian
i cant even begin to tell you how accurate that comment about dutch spelling tests are, i cant even write the language properly and ive been speaking it for about 18 years! also the pronounciation was absolutely killing me lol, got pretty close with some words tho! great vid as always alpha really enjoyed it!
If I got at least half of them then that works for me LOL
I dunno why but I love the French “Bazookarpe”
It fits perfectly and sounds great. That’s a solid localisation 😂
Watching Alpha trying to translate different languages was the highlight of my day.
for Bewegingsgevoeligheid it's just beweging (movement) + gevoeligheid (sensitivity) where gevoeligheid is from gevoelig (sensitive) with the -heid suffix
also: ketskogel does not mean marker, it means 'bounce bullet' or 'ricochet bullet'
you just glue words together
in english you say multiple words, in dutch (and also german) you just glue words together

This is literally a perfect representation of what my family expects me to learn how to speak Tagalog but instead of texts it’s just conversations. I only know how to refer to family and a few curse words I googled that my mom kept screaming when she stubbed her toe.
Being Brazilian I'd love to see how Nintendo games translate into Portuguese, since there're so many jokes (I speak English and French and it's always funny), but that's a shame we barely ever get Nintendo games translated into Portuguese.
Awesome video btw, would love to see more content like this.
True it's really a shame
I want alphastar to learn these languages and come back years later to this
Idk if I'll have time to learn them fluently but this definitely makes me wanna look into them more!
I'm not sure why the N-Zap seems to be one of the only weapons with the same/similar translation across different languages, but I'm not complaining.
As only English speaker seeing the changes between languages is...interesting (I was using google translate for half of this video LOL)
Awesome video Alpha! 🐯
Probably because it was based on the real world Nintendo Zapper, which was released under the same name in all languages.
@@Aidea._. Either that or thanks to splatoon *lore* it can bend reality however it wants to terrorize the cephalopod battlefield.
It's probably because its an irl product but I'm sticking to my headcanon that the thing was so infamous in Splatoon 2 that every languages reveres it by the same name.
the way n-zap’s name is more consistent across languages than the players that use it-
enjoyed this silly video! i had no idea what was going on 50% of the time but that just made it better lmao /pos
I know some Dutch (basic level,though I forget most of it)
And it sounds exactly what it feels like learning.there's stuff like vrouw that's easy but then salmon run does wiwiwi or whatever it said
Sometimes, the language likes to throw real curveballs at you x)
If you get a 100% in ranked in Spanish the text says "dominio total" which translates to total domination which sounds very rad. Also in Spanish the say "chévere" a lot in the game which means cool but i have never seen anyone say that word which is like, funny and weird.
i was learning german then i stopped, this has heavily inspired me to pick it back up again
Bazookarp is such a cool pun, but the german "operation Goldfisch" is also pretty sick
0:13 At this moment, he knew he killed the language, and everyone got in his case. 🥲
Listen, I don't think anyone that isn't a native Dutch speaker could say that perfectly LOL!
I can’t believe he’s using the Mexican flag for Spanish…
And I can’t believe he’s using the Quebec French option omg 😭😭
fr, i'm spanish and it's really sad to see that tbh
but i think it's bc the language option he had was the one from latin america (i noticed this bc some of the translations are different) so if it's because of this i understand
@@codywuq considering this, he should’ve used the Quebec flag for French 🥲 because it’s like so so much different from the actual French translation (fr why tf did they called the aerospray "pouche-pouche" when in actual French it’s aerogun)
I used the Mexican flag on purpose because I do remember Latin American Spanish being different than Spain's Spanish. I didn't know at the time that that was also the case for French. 🙇♂️
@@Alphastar716 you’re all excused 🫡
He's using the Mexican flag because it's the Latin american localization, you can notice because the Splatlings are called "Garabateador" and not "Tintralladora"
Imo the only other thing he could do would be to put every spanish speaking American country lmao
I gotta say Alpha, your pronunciation and ability to read Spanish is pretty good. This is coming from a native Spanish speaker.
Thanks! I'm glad at least some of my high school Spanish is coming in useful x)
Me not understanding the title at first--
Oh, Now I see.
(Also, I hope you have a good year, Alpha! Make sure to take care of yourself! :D)
Thanks, be sure to do the same!
@@Alphastar716 I will, Thanks! :D
So, I'm french and I never seen "éclaboussé" when i splat someone it's "tu as liquidé" maybe it was more the Quebec version ! X)
And for Bazookarp it's a mix between bazooka and a carp ! So the mission is to put the bazookarp at the enemy spawn !
And here's my useless explanations ! X)
Great video by the way !
Yeah peeps are telling me it's Quebec's version. I didn't know there were different versions of French like there were Spanish x)
@@Alphastar716 I can understand, I didn't knew that too for a while ! X)
If anyone is wondering the Bazookarpe in French is a combination of bazooka (no questions here) and carpe but with a k..? (For style purposes ig 😂)
“Gobb” has to be the best thing I have ever heard- But… Bewegingsgevoeligheid? Perfect. You now own the squifer lol- Amazing video Alfa! ( your name in Dutch apparently.. )
@Christmascliffe do it lol
The devs have noticed me and have given me my own weapon!
In the French splatoon, the bucket hat is legit called "bob" and and the glooga dualies are called "double kelvin 525"
BOB?!
You should really check on some Russian translations in the game
Like there's an alternative name for Mr.Grizz - Potápitch (Потапыч). This is a folk-tale designation for a bear.
Also Shiver is translated like Kulla. Part of the shark 's designation - Акула - akula.
As a Dutch speaker it’s so funny watching him try to say a long word
As a french the french name for pouche pouche is aérogun and again the alpha thing is décap’alpha in french I think you played with the québécois version (or the canadian’s french version)
In Splatoon 2, the french name for the Aerospray was "Aerogun" but it got changed to "Pouche-Pouche" in Splatoon 3 for some reason.
no it's just that he's using québec french
He was playing the Qubec French version, i know since i play the game in France French
@@slimyduck2140 There is only french in the switch options, not québec french
@@TheEdgyOcto How do you select the language region ?
@@Hellhero130 Maybe you should set your switch to Europe to get France French? I just verified and i don't have Qubec French in my options since i'm set to Europe
Listening to you trying to pronounce these German words as a German was just one of the funniest things I've heard in a while, haha.
You doing dutch was hilarious for me to watch since im dutch😂
Hey! I'm new subscriber! I found your CZcams channel by seeing some short story's and I happen stumble up the Team Sweet Splatfest And your jokes just crack me up so much😂😂. Happy to be aboard!!
Glad to have you on board!
idk why but the Ready? GO! at the beginning of the battle in different languages feels more cinematic-
The fact that it's your first time seeing it probably makes it look cooler x)
You've got a pleasant voice Alpha. I love Kampfart on the battle start screen. It's so funny to me.
As a Dutch person this is super funny and yes our language is allergic to spaces almost everything is mushed together 😂
My first language is English but I also speak French so I kind of understood it. The other languages I was completely lost for the most part. Awesome video btw!
It was so fun as a spanish speaker to hear you saying “Derramatic Baño” XD
I knew that baño at least meant bathroom so that alone was cracking me up LOL
The Kahoot music at the beginning :]
Its so funny too see you speak all these languages! I'm from belgium. So i speak dutch. I know the pronounciations of some words are hard( like bewegingsgevoeligheid or motion controls). And no 'ketskogel' does not mean 'marker' in dutch. Its means 'markeerstift'. The marker where you can mark words with in a color.
This was a fun video to watch. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
I actually became a Splatoon fan while living in Japan to study the language! If you want to learn it, I recommend just going for it, since even very basic Japanese knowledge will open you up to a ton of new experiences with video games!
Incidentally, the conversations I've had with Dutch speakers about how that language works makes looking at it seem all the more frightening...
1:23 in your defence, German like to stick words together a lot
I've definitely learned that in the time I spent playing Splatoon in German LOL
I might have to start playing splatoon in French. At least than I have an excuse to play on my switch in French class. 😂
Admittedly, I have been informed that this is Quebec's version of French, but if you can change your region to EU, then you'll be all set!
I like how Alphastar pronounce "Bazookarpé"
You don’t pronounce the "e" Alpha
-a french
I was fresh off of Spanish when I went to French so I was still pronouncing the e's x)
@@Alphastar716 don’t worry there’s no offense in what I’ve said ;)
This is a underrated video, love it!
I’m surprised you didn’t notice that the German rainmaker word was just “Bazooka Carp”
this is so funny! please do more!
Seeing the ‘’pouche pouche’’ in the french section of the video, i immediately knew you took french canadian french and i love you for that
Hearing you try to pronounce "Bewegingsgevoeligheid" was the funniest sh*t.
Bewegungs irgendwas
HAHAHA PLEASE DO A PART 2 THIS WAS SO FUNNY TO WATCH
Also two things:
1. “Spa C-ta-C is a play in words from the word “cétacé” which is cephalopod I think?
2. Scorch Gorge in Dutch is “Froggentrog”
FROGGENTROG I-
8:11 Bro the fact that it’s Vengeance as Haunt just makes sense, but also makes me laugh.
As a french, the canadian french is WAY different than the france french. A lot of the weapons aren't what they're named in that video. Fo exemple, the aerospray is in france named "aerogun" while in canada it's "pouche-pouche" (what the hell)
*ALPHA! BAZOOKARPE IS A MASHUP OF BAZOOKA AND KARP WHICH IS A DAMN TYPE OF FISH!*
I do just want to point out that you could've gone into the card-bit exchange menu to see every single Table Turf card
Also Bazookarpe is literally a combination of bazooka and carp so it makes sense
Oh right, I didn't think to do that. I believe I still had most of the cards in the game, though, so it's all good.
very interesting idea alpha!! you should do tagalog next!! i mean u would understand some words because tagalog and spanish share words
Many people have already said it but you played the Canadian french and not the France french. There are some difference between the two versions, which makes me question the Canadian french names for the Idols. Because in France french the names are very different (And Shiver's name is outrageous) so I'm curious to see if they had the same has English, France french or completely new names.
Alpha..Alpha.WHAT WERE YOU THINKING.
But this video was hilarious XD!Loved seeing you suffer through theese languages (also now you know bazookarpe is rainmaker dont ask me how i know it XD)
I. Love. This. VIDEO!Keep it yp alpha!
Also..Why no welsh :( i wanna know what should be my sec language that i…dont know… XD lol.😂
Plis makes this a series alpha got a chuckle from this cuz is funny 😁 lol 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Honestly I would love to do something like this with a language I'm learning but sadly its not an option on the system.
The N Zap is a real Nintendo toy (light) gun! The Nintendo Zapper which released in (19)85
“vengeance” oh my god that had my crying bro i dont know why 😭
I speak french and its very funny to see you try hard spelling
i dont even know is there polish in the switch translations but if there is im begging you tyr it in your next video like this
Sadly not, but if they add it I'd love to try it out!
How did Alpha not get that bazookarpe translates to the mixture of the words bazooka and karp?
I of course speak English and I remember at least some French. But man, I really can’t believe how weird it is to play in Spanish
I speak spanish and I agree, it's so weird
Really? Usually Spanish is pretty easy to learn as an English speaker. Playing Splatoon 3 in Spanish made me relive my high school Spanish days. x)
@@Alphastar716 I don't know if it is because I'm spanish, I can say that for me is the other way around, english is easier to learn. The thing with splatoon are the names, mostly weapon names, they're so random sometimes, for example the bow is named "acromatizador triple". I don't even know what "acromatizador" means exactly, I only know it has something to do with color and maybe that it's a little wordplay because of "bow" in spanish -> "arco".
I’m Dutch and it was very funny to watch you try and pronounce the words😭
As a dutch speaker the way you pronounced words was so funny!
8:05 I clearly remember it being called "Aérogun premium" in Splatoon 1 and 2... Was it chaged between the two games, or is it because it's canadian french ?
Edit : srcolled like two comments, and I found my answer, and yeah, it was canadian french.
You should have done Shelly’s and Dowee’s Descriptions for weapons, that would have been funny
10:27 It’s like in German! It’s called “Operation Rainmaker” and not just “Rainmaker” as a game mode
All the names prioritize the pun over the litiral translation. bazoukarpe is a combination of bazouka and carpe(type of fish) witch is what the rain maker is a carpe bazouka.
Wait im french and my game is not the same french as you lmao cuz shooters in french splatoon are called "Liquidateurs" so idk wich french you used but its not the one we have in france
13:48 CRACK(Kraak) 💀💀
CRACK
bazookarpe sounds like bazooka carp which is definitely the rainmaker
As French Canadian player: bazookarpe is a word play on bazooka and carp wich is the form and use of the weapon
the Hydra in spanish has an HD because it's a hydrant (which is why it's the Hydra[nt] in english), and Garabateador is derived from Garabato, which is Doodle, so the direct translation is the Doodler HD, which i'm so sad we didn't get xD
also, something that confuses me is the inconsistency of Derramatics (roughly Spill-o-Matics in english) being Sloshers in spanish while english has Splash-o-Matic and Sploosh-o-Matic (Plumón and Marcador Grueso in spanish, directly translated as thin and thick marker in english respectively). i wish one of the languages conformed with the other, but might have been the localization teams messing with us for fun
Imagine just hopping into a Splatoon 3 game, your playing on German and everyone says “Cool!” At the start of the game, and you didn’t do anything yet 😭
ketskogel is actually 2 words in one, kets refers to something that ricochets and kogel means bullet
Still better than Angle Shooter!
As someone who lives in Belgium for their whole life now, no, that's not how you pronounce the Dutch but I love it lol and yes my apltoon game is also Dutch lol
But I can speak French Dutch English and Korean
1:57 kampfart 😮
Wait if Shiver in English is called "Mako" in German, when German swap to English do they automatically think MakoMart is called "ShiverMart"?
I need to look up the map names but o think MakoMart is not the german name for the map
So the name of the stage in german is Cetacea-Markt. Which just means whale market.
If they're assuming it's a direct translation then probably haha.
Hearing Alpha talk so much about fighting the "Derramatic baño" is so weird considering that it means "Bathroom slosher"
Ok you MUST try the spanish (from spain) version it changes a lot (only in weapon names)
the way he said uitgeschakeld hurt my brain i as a dutch person coudlnt even tell what he was saying
I tried ok 😭
As a Latin Student, which gives me like 2% proficiency in virtually any language, (jk my Latin didn't help me hear I'm just guessing as an English speaker) I'm guessing bazookarpe is some play on the word "bazooka" and "carp", but in Spanish/dutch.
I can only speak german and english (I was really enjoying those spelling mistakes)
As a dutch person, this was beautiful. Can you try to pronounce "Terschelling"
please?
Grizzco is called Beer and Co in Dutch 😭
oh hey! i’m a fluent arabic speaker and when u said u wanted to learn my language I got really excited 😊
11:05The top right it says Beer and CO
