Italian Dictionary for Il Movimento
For Outcast and Corsair players
[font=Agency FB]Well, since I suppose that not everyone of this community knows italian, and since there is a certain rule in force on the server, not allowing players to use a different language from english, I present you this.
In lore, Outcasts are educated both in english, spanish and italian. But since fascism was a relevant movement within Italy, we will use some italian words for our roleplay.
We want to remind someone out here, to actually read this, maybe this can improve their overall 'skills' in this fine language. Seeing a corsair saying non-existant italian words is, priceless. Google Translate doesn't help a lot in this case, since the program issued by Google tends to randomize everything, and it may induce players to make a very strange roleplay under the eyes of a random speaker of the four main neo latin languages. Trust me, spanish, french, italian and romanian are very similar.
On a sidenote, I wrote this dictionary because when I first saw how Outcasts, Corsairs and Galliics roleplayed in a foreign language, just to backup their role, they made numerous errors. And I even noted a group of Outcasts using typical Italian swear words. But I prefer not to mention who they were, and what they said.

Also, Bindo.. You probably know that Pace della Guerra is one of those 'priceless' to hear and to see names, right?

Depends, the current name means 'Peace of War' and the name in italian is pure nonsense.
Pace.della.Guerra - Peace.of.War
Pace.dopo.la.Guerra - Peace.after.War
Pace.prima.della.Guerra - Peace.before.War
Pace.in.Guerra - Peace.in.War
Then there are other possible names for ships.
La.Tempesta - The.Storm
La.Quiete.prima.della.Tempesta - The Calm before the Storm
La.Folgore - The.Bolt
Il.Diavolo - The.Devil
ETC ETC

Better form:
Alle armi! - To arms! (yes, the literal translation works in english, though it sounds a bit Middle-Age-ish today...)
