Dominion has been published in Portuguese and Brazilian editions. Is there interest in adding either or both of those? - Whizkid (talk) 11:41, 29 February 2016 (EST)

  • Certainly! I've been trying to find those translations. Do you have access to them? Werothegreat (talk) 12:38, 29 February 2016 (EST)

[edit] Overview

I could not find Korean "yes" - at least did not see any forms for paste and copy. I hope, i got Chinese (Shi) and Japanese (hai) correct. 188.107.84.32 09:51, 23 June 2019 (EDT)

[edit] Card order

Up until Empires, cards on this page are first sorted by cost, and then alphabetically by name. After the cards come the "landscapes", which are also first sorted by their cost if they have one (e.g. Events), and then alphabetically. This is the way cards and card-shaped-things are sorted on the respective expansion pages (e.g. Empires), and also in Template:Navbox_Cards.

Starting with Nocturne, cards on this page are sorted alphabetically by name first (and not at all by cost).

The former sorting is probably what most users expect (at least I do). It also "contains" useful information about costs. I propose applying the same sorting for Nocturne, Renaissance, and Menagerie. If for no other reason, then for consistency on this page. BobKnip (talk) 11:51, 19 October 2020 (EDT)

[edit] German "ss" instead "ß"

In German alphabet exist several special letters, the umlaute (ä, ö, ü, in names also ë, ï) and Eszett (ß, also called sharp s). While for the umlaute exists capital versions in mostly every font, that is mostly not true for "ß", although the capital version () got included 2008 in Unicode and ISO for computer fonts and only 2017 in German orthography. If not available, ß and ẞ get replaced by double s, ss (by the way, in Switzerland standard). Because card names are set all caps (in German Majuskel or Versalie) one finds ss in several German card names, although any dictionary shows the proper spelling is with ß. The difference gets irritating, when in German rulebook the proper names (with ß) gets used instead the replacing spellings. But fact is, the actual German card names are with ss. --Puzzler (talk) 05:13, 10 March 2022 (EST)

a) Card names occasionally aren't set in all caps in the German rulebooks. When this is the case, the publisher, of course, uses ß, because this is the correct spelling whenever small letters are used.
b) Requiring a user to use ss where the correct spelling is with ß goes against intuition in the wiki search box. A search result won't be shown when it easily could.

I am also not happy with the replacing spelling, i am not happy they use the correct word spelling in the rulebook text instead actual name spelling. But that still does not change the facts of the physical copies. As written on your discussion page, expand as much as you think is useful, but names must remain as they are.--Puzzler (talk) 05:46, 10 March 2022 (EST)
I see no problem with how it's dealt with in the rulebooks. --Tick Tock (talk) 05:52, 10 March 2022 (EST)
But i have a problem with you priorizing rulebook text over actual card name lettering--Puzzler (talk) 06:07, 10 March 2022 (EST)
c) "But fact is, the actual German card names are with ss." - The argument is erroneous. ß is getting "replaced" with SS (capitalized), not with ss (lowercase) --Tick Tock (talk) 08:41, 12 March 2022 (EST)
Also, replacing is the wrong word here, see Duden. This is the second bullet point: "Bei Verwendung von Großbuchstaben steht traditionellerweise SS für ß." --Tick Tock (talk) 09:35, 12 March 2022 (EST)
typical case of using just those parts supporting own opininion; also there: 1) If ß not available .... But ß and ẞ are available!--83.135.169.109 07:11, 13 March 2022 (EDT)
