Reorganizing Wheatley's voice lines

Is seems a few users have started on the work of organizing this page into sections. To save future duplicated effort from multiple people unknowingly redoing the same work separately in their own drafts, (as I started doing,) let's consolidate. It seems Traen's page has the most significant progress; therefore, I'd recommend going to that page if you want to help organize Wheatley's voice lines, which will eventually go live here once the draft is ready. —Cartoonmaster 04:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)


The Mystery of Wheatley's Spanish

[1] As you know, in the English dub, he says something in Spanish when he takes control of Aperture. Well, in the Spanish dub, he says it in English. "It appears you are using this translation incorrectly. Please check the manual." Make use of this info somehow; we missed a joke. Sven 06:54, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

In the English dub, what he says in Spanish ("Estás usando este software de traducción de forma incorrecta. Por favor, consulta el manual.") does mean the same thing ("You are using this translation software incorrectly. Please check the manual."). I suppose an inline translation could be helpful. Noted.
Is this what you mean? (As opposed to suggesting there should be a trivia point relating to the fact that they used English for the translation software line in the Spanish dub.) —Cartoonmaster 04:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
The inline translation would be better, I suppose. I personally had no idea what he said in Spanish (despite taking and passing two Spanish courses), but after learning what it meant, it made the scene much funnier. I personally found it interesting, so perhaps others might? Sven 04:26, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Typo: “electic pop”

I found a typo that says “electic pop”, as said in the title. The whole reason I created an account in the first place is to fix this typo. However, there’s basically no obvious way to edit voice-line captions (the text with a “Download” and “Play” button to the right of it). The voice line captions in question says “Oh! Good news! [electic pop] Nevermind.” It should say “Oh! Good news! [electric pop] Nevermind.” instead. The preceding unsigned comment was added by MCAlexisYT (talk) • (contribs) 04:17, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Good find. These voice lines are stored within the Template:Voice line template, which in turn uses the Template:Dictionary template, which invokes a subpage of said template deep into Wheatley's voice line in Template:Dictionary/voice lines/Wheatley and thus requires one to dig into some directories to edit the line. I've gone ahead and fixed the typo. ~ Headquarter8302 04:17, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
