>Agricola Azidena Why the fuck did you name a town "Acidic Farmers"? I didn't. Google Translate has failed me. |

I'd also like to take a moment to point out that your capital, Altocapo, translates too "the big head." I truly hope that was not your intention.
EDIT 1:
Just went ahead and translated everything.
-Perare dal Vivo: I live from bags
-Costa Lago: Coast Lake
-Inglefondato: Founded groin/crotch
-Avampiamento: Avam is Azerbaijani, piamento is not a word. Piamente, which is Portuguese, is the closest. Pious nitwit
-Pesca Cittadina: Fishing Town
EDIT 2:
-Popolaumo: This is not a word. The closest thing is Popolano, which means commoner. Alternatively, there's Popo, which is Turkish for butt, and laumo, which is not a word. The closest word is the latin word laudo, which means "To praise." Fully, it is "To Praise Butt."
-Intersezibar: Inter is short for internum, which means domestic. Sezibar isn't a word/has no English meaning. I plugged it into Google Translate, and it says the language is Xhosa, but it doesn't have a meaning.
-Wilkes: This is not Italian. I'm not sure how you even came up with it.
-Aludefiume: Alludes too river. I'm guessing what you wanted was Palude Fiume, which means swamp river.
-Solosalato: Only know.
-Pascolare: Pasture Pasture. Not even joking. Pasco is italian for pasture, and lare is some weird fucking english word that also means pasture.
-Cratereadina: Delicate Crater. Took me fucking forever to figure out what Adina meant. Turns out it's an old Hebrew word for slender/delicate.
EDIT 3:
-Lake Altadine: Basically, it's the lake of high dining.
-Lake Mostro: Monster Lake. I assume this one was intentional.
-Lake Gilago: Gilago doesn't actually mean anything, but lago means lake. Basically, you've named it Lake lake.
-Lake Piccratere: Lake Small Traveler? Picco is italian for small, and Ratere is Maori for traveler. Alternatively, tere could be a heavily bastardized terra, which means earth. So, Lake Small Earth.
-Nudo Piu: More Naked. Piu means more. Nudo should be self explanatory.
-Picco Vista Monstro: Small Monster View.
-Picco Piu: More Small.
-Grande Massimo Piu: More Great Excellence.
-Ambientale Montagana: Environmental Mountain.
-Magna Vivere: Live Big.
-Magna Costa: Big Coast.
-Magna Contento: Big Happy.
-Magna Revoluzione: Big Revolution.
-Magna Respirare: Big Breath.
Jesus Christ, this took too long. Don't use fantasy name generator next time my man, and either google translate words individually and mix them from there, or consult someone who knows the language you're working with.

Lego, I did use Google Translate. It's really not smart to just make a blind assumption on what I used to make the names. It's not a trustable resource for language translation. It translates things wrong.

It translates things wrong. Why are you so strung up that I accused you of using something equally as shitty as google translate? They both produce shitty names. It doesn't really matter. The difference between the two, though, is that google translate actually provides accurate translations of single words to give you a skeleton to work with. It seems to me, however, that you didn't take advantage of that. You simply put whole sentences through, and used whatever you got, hence why all the names are so god damn stupid. I'm certainly not faulting you for using google translate. I've consulted it many a time to help me with names for shit, and I've fallen into the same pit falls you have. All I ask is that you learn from your mistakes, make use of the advice I've given you, and make something of higher quality next time. |

I actually got what I needed after Duck's suggestion; Just something simple enough to get me started, yet vague enough to let me kind of work as I go and pretty much wing it.
I can throw my piece up later if anyone wants to critique it. Natural bodies of water are something I always tend to screw up, but since it's an arctic wasteland, I pretty much didn't include any... Idk if that makes sense, or just makes me lazy, haha.

Eh, I'm going to post it anyway. Feel free to throw any suggestions you have my way. Just note that this is a conceptual map rather than a final product; As such, area names like 'Ice-vein Slopes' are mostly there just as a mental note to myself to say 'Hey, make this area begin to slope up into the mountains' rather than actually give that area any specific name. Not really interested in plotting caves or ruins, but if you want to by all means go ahead. |
