We can't really do much unless we figure out enough of the language. If we find a word we don't know we can: find a translation, or figure it out from context. If we wanna figure it out from context, we have to know enough to understand more or less the rest of the sentence as well as the context.
And I don't think we're really at that point, so we're stuck. If you were, say, dropped in spain and you understood nothing about spanish, you could eventually learn spanish because someone would point at a apple and say "manzana". This is basically a nonverbal translation, you were told that manzana means apple, just not verbally. This is a key point for deciphering all languages - you have to find something in common to develop a understanding of the language off of. And we don't have enough of that thing in common - translations. It's a start, but we need a lot more to identify words we don't understand at all for certain. We can take a guess at what some things mean because we know what the item, etc is, but as seen here 50% of the time it's incorrect. In short - as far as I can see it, we just plain can't translate UrQa with what we have available. |

He just wrote a paragraph of pure jibberish containing the main words, styles and letters of Bana AIs and their gear. Good luck translating that, if it is even translatable it will look like translated Lorem Ipsum.

I recognize some of the words certainly, probably like 50% of it. The other 50% is pure mystery.
Oh well, i'll keep working at it tommorow, see what i can uncover. |

There are words no one has access to, or are very rarely seen in game. _________________ http://www.starsonata.com/suggestions |

You're working on an Olympus-style zone for low levels. A bit like how there is a kind of "Bana UZ" for low levels called Mira, and a mini Serengeti called The Jungle.

Lol, Daed he's already revealed that previously. This would have to be about something different.

You guys are missing some pretty huge chunks of info that provide a lot of context for the two messages. They're not even that hard to find, just needs a bit of detective work.
