French leader spelt wrong

[Lawrence of Arabia]

Ok
I've been taking French for 12 years. I know my stuff. In French, Joan of Arc is called Jeanne D'Arc. In English, its Joan of Arc. But in Firaxian, its Joan D'Arc. Either do one or the other, but not both.

And you mis-spelled "spelled"
It is quite likely they wanted to combine the English spelling with a French "flavor". OTH, maybe they goofed.

Were not talking about faces and leader graphics. Were talking about grammar.

[Ecthy]

are you sure it's grammar and not something like...err... syntax?

re : Jeanne D'Arc

They could have just called her John Dark like it's pronounced

Actually, "spelt" is in the Oxford English dictionary as an acceptable spelling. British vs American English?

Perhaps they should have called her "La Pucelle", or even "The Maid of Orleans"...

Am I wrong in assuming this can be easily edited?

Actually...I'm against the translation of names...

[Jason Beaudoin]

Me too. I like Jeanne d'Arc (I think the "d" in d'Arc is lowercase... if you want to get specific).

Spelt is definitely an acceoptable if not the preferred way to indicate the past tense of spell.

On the Joan issue, I agree. One or the other but not both. I would prefer all original spellings in the language of origin, as I would for cities as well...

so will we see Otto Fürst von Bismarck and/or Paul von Beneckendorf und Hindenburg as well then?

BTW, did you know Catherine the Great was German

I stand corrected. I finally found a dictionary that at least had it in there. Thank you, perhaps I will try using it.
