== Transcription Style Guide == This style guide aims to set a standard for voice line transcriptions, making them consistent across pages and between different editors. === General Rules === Transcriptions should match the in-game caption as closely as possible. Changes can be made to correct grammar, unusual punctuation or to make the tone of the line more clear. Italics are allowed for emphasis. Do not use brackets, links or boldened text in transcriptions. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" !Line !Audio !Caption !Transcription |- | | | | |- | | | | |- | | | | |} === Structure === The overarching structure of quote pages can be found in the [[Deadlock:Style guide|Style Guide]]. The order of voice line transcriptions should match the order given in the files. For conversations, one field holds one conversation. Audio is cut to contain the entire conversation in one file. To show which character is speaking, precede the transcription with the characters name in bold letters. If one conversation partner does not have lines yet, the transcription can be left empty. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" !Conversations !Audio !Transcription |- |match_start_convo_01 |[[File:Astro_hornet_1.mp3]] |'''Holliday:''' How good are you at hitting moving targets? '''Vindicta:''' I shot Hathorne's brother while he was day-drinking on a speedboat. '''Holliday:''' ... I'm gonna pretend that was a joke. '''Vindicta:''' It was not. '''Holliday:''' You know I have to arrest you now. '''Vindicta:''' When this is over, you are more than welcome to try. |- |match_start_convo_02 |[[File:Astro_hornet_2.mp3]] |'''Vindicta:''' Bind them, sheriff. And leave the rest to me. '''Holliday:''' Yeah, that's not ominous. |- |match_start_convo_03 |[[File:Astro_hornet_3.mp3]] |'''Holliday:''' You look concerned. '''Vindicta:''' Forgive me for not having much faith in servants of the law. '''Holliday:''' Law has come a long way since you died. '''Vindicta:''' No, sheriff. It really hasn't. |} To make sure that the distance between the first line and the top of the field is equal to the distance between all other lines, use the source editor to properly seperate the line, This will look as follows in the source editor. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" ! !Issue !Correct |- |Source Editor |<nowiki>|'''Holliday:''' How good are you at hitting moving targets?</nowiki> <nowiki>'''</nowiki>Vindicta:<nowiki>'''</nowiki> I shot Hathorne's brother while he was day-drinking on a speedboat. <nowiki>'''</nowiki>Holliday:<nowiki>'''</nowiki> ...

These lines go in the same field as the main line, are put in brackets an are marked with “Alt:” preceding the transcription. If there are multiple alternative lines, precede the transcription with "Alt lines:" and put the lines in quotation marks, seperating the different lines with semicolons. If the transcription of the alternative line is identical to the main line, this can be omitted. Make sure to put a line break between the main line and the alternative lines. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" !Line(s) !Audio !Transcription |- |altas_killstreak_mid_01 atlas_killstreak_mid_01_alt_01 |[[File:Atlas killstreak mid 01.mp3]] [[File:Atlas killstreak mid 01 alt 01.mp3]] |Come on!

Oh, how we've missed you. (Alt: Welcome back to New Amsterdam, Drifter. Oh, how we missed you.) |- |familiar_sleepy_use_power_bookworm familiar_sleepy_use_power_bookworm_alt_01 familiar_sleepy_use_power_bookworm_alt_02 |[[File:Familiar sleepy use power bookworm.mp3]] [[File:Familiar sleepy use power bookworm alt 01.mp3]] [[File:Familiar sleepy use power bookworm alt 02.mp3]] |Books are fun... (Alt lines: "Why yes Mister Darcy, I will marry you..."; " An interesting theory, Mister Poirot, but I know who really killed Jay Gatsby.") |} === Audio Description === Audio descriptions, such as sighing, laughing or other noises that cannot be written, are marked with square brackets. The descriptor should be in italics to more clearly differentiate from normal text. If transcribing the sound is more readable than describing it, then it should be transcribed. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" !Line !Audio !Transcription |- |chrono_use_colossus_02 |[[File:Chrono use colossus 02.mp3]] |[''Laughter''] |- |nano_concerned_01 |[[File:Nano concerned 01.mp3]] |[''Sigh''] How didn't I account for this? |- |lash_catch_hornet_03 |[[File:Lash catch hornet 03.mp3]] |Ahaha! What do you think you're doing up there? |} === Other Languages === There are characters who frequently speak languages other than English. A sentence at the top of the quote page should disclose the second spoken language. For example, this is how it is done on [[Ivy/Quotes|Ivy's quote page]]: "Some of Ivy's lines are spoken in Spanish, or a mix of Spanish and English. They will have translation in italics." Some characters say one-off sentences in other languages. In those cases, the line is still written in the spoken language, but the following translation is preceded by the language that is being translated from. The transcription in plain text is in the spoken language, followed by an italicized translation, divided by round brackets. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" !Line !Audio !Transcription |- |bebop_match_start_bebop_ghost_convo01_02 |[[File:Bebop match start bebop ghost convo01 02.mp3]] |Ah ben super, maintenant je suis coincé avec un bourgeois. ''(''French: ''Ha, great. I'm stuck with an upper-class.)'' |- |tengu_select_10 |[[File:Tengu_select_10.mp3]] |Al menos alguien me aprecia. ''(At least someone appreciates me.)'' |- |tengu_kill_bookworm_05 |[[File:Tengu kill bookworm 05.mp3]] |Chacho, I feel kinda bad about doing that to her. ''(Man)'' |} Deadlock being a world of the mystical, sometimes a character will speak an unknown language, such as [[Ixian]]. Checking the in-game caption provides the proper transcription, however, a translation is currently impossible. Adding "(''Ixian'')" to the end of the transcription sufficiently marks it as such. {| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" !Line !Audio !Transcription |- |gigawatt_kill_fencer_03 |[[File:Gigawatt kill fencer 01.mp3]] |Shioth valosh, Apollo.
