Translating Seraphim units

Hi, I am a 32-years-old En/Ru translator (you may call me a linguist). I am thinking of giving Seraphim units proper, pronounceable names. Will the FAF administration accept my work? Because I am not starting the project until at least the idea gets approved (I don't want to waste hours for nothing). I would scan every unit in the game and make sure there are no collisions, I would also take into account most or all major mods. The theme would be apocalyptic/hellish (well, they did come to end the Earth): Examples: Yolona Oss -> Armageddon; Ahwassa -> Apocalypse; Selen -> Imp; Ilshavoh -> Incubus.

What do you think? It would make it more user-friendly.

Nothing is stopping you from making a mod to change the name of their units if you want to, but I highly doubt it will be officially integrated into FAF if that's what you were asking for.

Personally, I don't think there's much of a point in giving them human-readable names, it's part of the faction alien flavor.

Yeah, agree. While it's a cool idea for a mod I doubt it would ever get approved and be integrated into FAF directly.

@melanol Albeit yes, Sera units are unpronounceable, I enjoy keeping their alien names because they are the alien faction.

I think this can be done with a UI mod - that would allow you (and others) to use it individually. I am against integrating this as people are used to the current names: if a casters says 'Ilshavoh' then we all know what the caster means.

The hellhound is sniping the radar guys!

Seraphim names are pronounceable just fine and already have a pattern and logic behind their language.

Most of the Seraphim unit names can be pronounced, it’s just that a few share rather similar names

People just say stuff like “ASF” instead of “Corona” or ”Wasp” or ”Battleship” instead of ”Summit” or ”Galaxy” anyways
