MILLIRA EVENT EXPANDED PATCH — ENGLISH TRANSLATION REVIEW
=========================================================
This patch adds missing ENGLISH translations for two backstories in the workshop
mod "Milira Event Story Expand: The Tale of Milira"
(packageId: Pakerwot.MiliraEventandStortExpandTheTaleofMilira, Steam 3477405110).
Those two backstories were shipped CHINESE-ONLY (no English DefInjected entry),
so in English games their title/description render as boxes/blanks.
Below: the RAW Chinese text from the base mod's 1.6 Def XML, followed by the
proposed English translation. Review for faithfulness, tone, and lore consistency
with the rest of the mod (which uses a [PAWN_nameDef] placeholder for the pawn's
name).
NOTE on line breaks: the raw Chinese uses literal "\n\n" sequences inside the XML
<description> element. RimWorld converts these to paragraph breaks. The English
translation below uses \n\n the same way.
================================================================================
BACKSTORY 1
defName: Milira_BackstoryAdult_UnversityStudent_13
(Special "Lumi" backstory. spawnCategories: Milira_SP_Lumi)
================================================================================
--- RAW (Chinese) ---
title: 米莉拉 神秘观测者
titleShort: 神秘观测者
description:
“嗯？竟然被发现了吗？”\n\n
“但是，现在还不是时候呢，不过被发现了的话，也不是不行。”\n\n
“你问我瓦莱莉去哪了？”\n\n
毕竟之前出现的都是一位黑发米莉拉不是吗？\n\n
“其实，那只是我的伪装而已，包括现在，我的样子你每次见到也不一样不是吗？”\n\n
“她不在这里呢，大概，是去殖民舰队继续研究她的象龟去了吧？”\n\n
“或许，现在在仙女座进行一场激动人心的大冒险？”\n\n
“那么容许我重新自我介绍一下，我是璐米欧尔，是一名观测者呢。”\n\n
“观测的课题？当然就是观测与记录这颗星球上发生的点点滴滴。”
--- PROPOSED ENGLISH ---
title: Milira Mysterious Observer
titleShort: Mysterious Observer
description:
“Oh? So I’ve been found out?”\n\n
“But it’s not quite time yet... though, since I’ve been found, I suppose it can’t be helped.”\n\n
“You ask where Valery went?”\n\n
After all, the one who always showed up before was a black-haired Milira, wasn’t she?\n\n
“The truth is, that was just one of my disguises. Even now, my appearance is different every time you see me, isn’t it?”\n\n
“She isn’t here, you know. Most likely she’s gone off to the colonist fleet to keep studying her tortoises.”\n\n
“Or perhaps she’s off on a thrilling adventure in Andromeda right now?”\n\n
“Then allow me reintroduce myself. I am Lumi-Er. I am an observer.”\n\n
“My subject of observation? Why, simply to observe and record everything that happens on this planet.”
================================================================================
BACKSTORY 2
defName: Milira_BackstoryAdult_UnversityStudent_child_7
(Special "Lumi" child backstory. spawnCategories: Milira_SP_Lumi_child)
================================================================================
--- RAW (Chinese) ---
title: 米莉拉 小军迷
titleShort: 小军迷
description:
“想知道我小时候的事情？”\n\n
"也没什么值得说的吧？"\n\n
“我也就是喜欢各种军事装备并热衷于收集她们的资料而已。”\n\n
"虽然大多数情况都是拜托米莉安帮我整理就是了。"\n\n
“其实我也喜欢做饭呢，尽管被自己的饭菜给放倒过很多次就是了……”\n\n
“当然，我也会拉小提琴呢！虽然水平放在卡利多其实很一般来着。”
--- PROPOSED ENGLISH ---
title: Milira Military Fan
titleShort: Military Fan
description:
“You want to know about my childhood?”\n\n
“There’s really not much worth saying, is there?”\n\n
“I just happen to love all kinds of military equipment, and I’m passionate about collecting information on them, that’s all.”\n\n
“Although, most of the time I end up asking Milian to organize it all for me, really.”\n\n
“Actually, I like cooking too, even though my own cooking has knocked me flat more times than I can count...”\n\n
“Oh, and of course, I can play the violin as well! Though by Kalidor standards, I’m really just average.”

TRANSLATION NOTES / QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW
================================================================================
1. Names:
- "瓦莱莉" = Valery (also romanized "Vallerie"/"Valerie"). The mod's own English
files and the dependency "瓦莱丽的米莉拉扩展包" (Valeries.miliraexpansion)
use "Valerie"/"Valleri". Consider whether to use "Valerie" for consistency.
- "璐米欧尔" = Lumi-Er (the special "Lumi" character; mod references "璐米欧尔"
/ "Lumi"). The base 1.6 folder also has Patches/Patch_lumi.xml and a
Storyteller_Lumi. Consider "Lumi" or "Lumiere".
- "米莉安" = Milian (mod has "Milian Farmer", "Milian Modification"; existing
English backstory child_4 uses "Milian members"). So "Milian" is consistent.
2. [PAWN_nameDef] placeholder: The longest vanilla backstory descriptions use
[PAWN_nameDef] for the pawn's name. In these two backstories the Chinese is
first-person dialogue ("I / me"), so no placeholder was used in my draft.
Confirm this is acceptable (the base mod's own translations for _13/_child_7
are absent, but the other backstories DO use [PAWN_nameDef] in third person).
3. ", is that all?" / "x而已" — I translated the dismissive particle "而已"
("that's all") to preserve the casual, unassuming tone.
4. "放倒" => "knocked me flat" is a deliberate playful rendering of being
incapacitated by one's own cooking.
5. Newline paragraph breaks preserved as \n\n to match the raw source.
