ИДЁТ ПОИСК ЭНТУЗИАСТОВ
 
 
Дамы и господа, настало время дополнить глоссарий терминами. Ваша помощь тут необходима, иначе можно свихнуться тут всё переводить)
 
<br>Минимум машинного перевода, максимум вашей любви <3
 
<br>План таков:
 
*Один человек берет на себя перевод одной/нескольких БУКВ со всеми терминами/аббревиатурами (ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО смотрим на готовый частичный перевод:[[Glossary_of_player_terms/ru|Словарь игровых терминов]], ибо лишнюю работу выполнять не нужно. Если там перевод устарел, тогда нужно будет заменить)
 
*Переведенный текст вставляем туда, где был изначально английский вариант (не начинаем сразу распределять по буквам, иначе можем запутаться)
 
*После завершения перевода выбранных терминов смотрим, что переводят другие. Выбираем следующие БУКВЫ и переводим дальше)
 
*После перевода всего текста и начнем сортировку
 
*После проверки можно будет уже и впихнуть наш труд на созданную страницу с терминами
 
Вроде всё)
 
 
 
*'''DrotEroNoxt:''' F
 
Дополнительно: проверка D
 
 
*'''AsterLak:''' G,I
 
 
*'''Goomba2024:'''
