Update

03/31/12: Language Change/Tungumálaskipti

As interest in Pokémon in Iceland has been skyrocketing in the past few years, I've after some thought decided that this website could do more good in my native tongue than in the same language as ninety percent of the Internet. I still need to comb through the whole site to translate everything and change all the banners in all the styles and so on, but I've started off by translating the front page and menu, as well as the Zodiac script (so the date shown near the top of the page is translated, as are the Zodiac images generated by the script, even though I haven't gotten around to translating the actual page yet).

This will be the final English update; it's just here to explain to my non-Icelandic visitors what's going on. If you don't understand Icelandic, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.


Þar sem áhugi á Pokémon á Íslandi hefur farið stigvaxandi undanfarin ár hef ég að vel ígrunduðu máli ákveðið að þessi síða sé betur sett á ástkæra ylhýra heldur en á sama tungumáli og níutíu prósent af veraldarvefnum. Ég á enn eftir að kemba í gegnum allt til að þýða undirsíðurnar og hausmyndirnar í öllum stílunum, en til að byrja með hef ég þýtt forsíðuna og valmyndina auk dagatalsforritsins (þannig að dagsetningin efst á síðunni og dagatalsmyndirnar sem forritið býr til eru á íslensku, þótt ég hafi ekki þýtt síðuna sjálfa ennþá).

Velkomin í hinn nýja Helli drekaflugnanna!

I do enjoy how half of these post talk about how its an April fools day event, and the other half are taking it seriously.

It looks like you really put a lot of work into this! Cool! This site never ceases to amaze me.



I remember one time when you turned this site into a pretend "shopping" thing where you sold something called TCOD but wouldn't specify what a TCOD was. XD

Thankyou for this wonderful chance to learn another language, wonderful overlord! I shall pick up this lauguage with haste!



Though, it would be more wonderful if it was written in Esperanto. Just saying.





also, this is a good joke and you should feel good.

I'm sorry to hear this, because I don't speak Icelandic, but I used Google Translate on the site, so I can read most of it. (The results are quite humorous at times, just like with your Babelfish section)

Gotta say, pretty weaksauce compared to the last ones.



Still spooked me for a second though.

I guess I'll start to learn Icelandic then! It's great to see Butterfree and the site take pride in its native language!
