Hey, really good looking, Hyper! If you want to, you can make a spanish one. Uprising would be "Red Alert 3: El Levantamiento" in spanish. Also could be "Revolución" o "Motín", thought that last one isn't a synonime, it could be cool to see. I just hope spanish translators don't screw any more with the game and try to be as faithfull to the original names and such as possible... Imagine, in CnC3 they were calling nod soldiers "noditas", literally translating into noddies... okay, I end my little burst of anger at translators now. Just a bunch of input, Hyper. Keep it up! _________________ Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer. QUICK_EDIT

Sure, im open to making a spanish version,
So it would be Red Alert 3 : El Levantamiento, Red Alert 3 : Revolucion or Red Alert 3 : Motín??
I need to know for sure as these take a while to set... QUICK_EDIT
I think it would be the first one. "El Levantamiento" would suit perfectly. _________________ Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer. QUICK_EDIT
Too literal, Raminator. Well, I personally like more "Levantamiento" than "Insurrección". Sounds epic to me, hahahaha... _________________ Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer. QUICK_EDIT
"levantar" is more like to stand up
Levantamiento would just do fine if you translate it from german "Aufstand" _________________ just a simple logo by bricks @ raminator, on Flickr QUICK_EDIT
Hyper, you know asking Google translator for a good translation is like asking a goat to translate the bible from hebrew...
I think "Insurrección" does fine, but personally "Levantamiento" is good also. Raminator is right, but other of the meanings of "Levantamiento" is that of the uprising or revolution. Trust me, I'm spanish. I know my language.
Anyways, translators will mess it all. _________________ Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer. QUICK_EDIT
and how comes that you can speak english...
I always thoughed that the spanish can´t speak english... _________________ just a simple logo by bricks @ raminator, on Flickr QUICK_EDIT

In Czech it's something like Rudý Poplach: Povstání, but Rudý Poplach sounds lame a bit, like translation of some English name of some Native American From marketing reasons they can release it as Red Alert: Povstání, but I doubt they will translate this name:
We usually translate names of films or books, but not games or music albums, at least these not. Also, it seems even Russians don't do this...
Same Slovakia, probably Poland and I doubt other Slavic nations will do this... _________________

Hahahaha, well, I was granted that power from an ancient, dark sorcerer. Or proffesor, how she called herself.

Also, I think translating names of games is ok, as long as they do it right. If you are to translate a name for a game, at least try to be as close to the original as you can. And music albums... don't translate those. And that applies for movies too. Some just translate retardedly.

For some reason, Levantamiento seems more like a survey than uprising. These words are similar in portuguese, so I know what I'm saying. I'd use Motín or... evene better: use the french translation, which in spanish would be something in the lines of Red Alert 3: La Revuelta. QUICK_EDIT
I like them! And, Banshee, Motín is for something small, like a riot in a ship. Levantamiento refers to a larger number of people in a revolution. _________________ Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer. QUICK_EDIT

Yea, this is why I prefer Revuelta over Motín. Levantamiento is more like a survey or... to stand something up ... like 'levantamiento de peso'. Perharps you are right, but when people talk about rebellions, civilian or military uprising, the word revolta (in portuguese) is much more used than levantamento (portuguese). So I guess the same applies in spanish. At least it applied in french (which also derives from latin). QUICK_EDIT

"Восстание" would make senseif it was related to rebellion... if that is what was ment by uprising. If it ment rise to power/political scene, then... :/
And keep Red Alert in english, though.It is best known by english name. _________________ DUNK! QUICK_EDIT
would a better translation be more on the lines of "to rise up" (like the tides or something).
Taking it as revolution.... perhaps some insight to the plot?!? There couldn't be some secret brewing...Some uprising or revolution that takes place and challenges the three factions? Or will each of the factions in their own campaign rise to power again? _________________ Please, read the signature rules of the forum. QUICK_EDIT

Nope. Flemish & Dutch people even complained when their ingame text in C&C3 turned out to be in Dutch instead of English

Jajajaja, April, no sabía que eras de Méjico... acabo de fijarme... Y, no sé, la revuelta no me parece tan bueno...

Now in english...
"The Awakening" would be good also, but we don't know a thing about the plot, so, if they thought "Uprising" was fit... _________________ Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer. QUICK_EDIT

It's with the Kanes Wrath Expansion, with my second install I didn't take Dutch, I took English. I mean: "Vlammenzuiveraar" xD

Probably you know most of PC games are released in English, but just part of them is made in English speaking countries?
World Language #1 = possibility of success on whole World
I also prefer English language in games from abroad (so I will look for UFO:Aftermath trilogy in Czech if avaiable).

OK, I think I get it.
Still those logos are nice. _________________

Well, also when I said Rudý poplach it wasn't pure translation from Red Alert (which hasn't never been translated),
pure translation would be Červený poplach, because red is translated into Czech as červená, but:
Communists have been nicked as the Reds, but they originally used rather colour of blood - the maroon , later red...
You can see Red : Rudá, so it probably has come from one word...
Povstání is similar to Polish Powstanie or other Slavic equivalents...
Oh crap, I am turning this thread into etymology thread...
Also in Czech it's possible to use Rebélie (means Rebellion) or even revolta, so even some pensionaire who learned Russian when (s)he was young will understood.
But I have chosen the closest option to the uprising...
And still it would be pretty crazy to see this translated into some African or Asian - non-indoeuropean language... although I won't be able to read it.
But I am afraid of something like: Red Alert: Roasted Chicken _________________

I like it. Even though i don't like the game and don't have any use for the logo.
@Dutchygamer: not even RA1? Strange that they did it only in the german version. RA2 doesn't has the mirrored R anymore too. _________________ SHP Artist of Twisted Insurrection: Nod buildings

C&C Red Alert 3 : Uprising Logo (Multi Lang)
From marketing reasons they can release it as
