Can anyone translate this?

Anyone know what "opfer entkleinden" translates to in english?

 

Most of the time I can get translations off the web but this doesn't seem to be recognized by web translators. This term is shown as the effect or the spell a player will receive by reading a scroll. The scroll is named "Fun with Magic" so it doesn't help with what the effect or spell may be.

 

Thanx

Reading the scroll results in two spells being listed in inventory - "opfer entkleinden on "target" for 15 seconds" and "opfer entkleinden on "self" for 5 seconds". The spelling is the same for both and I have it accurate from the game.

Casting the spell doesn't seem to do anything. Casting it on one self seems strange - I'm not a victim and why would I strip myself? Casting it on a NPC, regardless whether the NPC is dead or alive, doesn't strip them of anything either.

 

Either the mod isn't working or I'm missing something.

 

Thanx for the help.

Google is right, "Opfer" is "Victim" and "entkleiden" is a somewhat dated "undress". "entkleiden" wasn't in common use for about 50 years now, at least in germany.

 

Maybe this is a specific function of the mod; like you have to do something to some npc that makes her/him a victim and then you can undress them.

Or maybe the spell does undress its victims but the immediately redress. NPCs can dress and undress themselves slightly faster then the Flash.

The computer will see that this NPC has suitable clothing in his Inventory and will put them on before your spell animation is finished.

I've tried the spell on NPCs that were killed by other NPCs and on NPCs that I have killed - which I assume would make the dead NPC a victim. The NPCs I've tried this on only had one set of clothing (what they were wearing) and some sundry items (coins or whatever) in their inventory and casting the spell doesn't strip anything from the victim NPC.

I sort of assumed that a "victim strip spell" would take everything the victim NPC has in their inventory and place all of it in my inventory - rather than my character taking items from the victim NPC's inventory one item at a time - but that isn't happening.

 

The various translators I tried didn't recognize "entkleinden" so I am assuming that the word "entkleiden" may be the correct one. I've tried the spell in a number of different ways, but it doesn't seem to do anything and I can't figure out if its not working or I'm using it wrong. I wasn't sure until your message that entkleinden and entkleiden are the same word (I don't speak german that well). Who knows, maybe the phrase is idiomatic to some region the author resides and it doesn't mean "victim strip" at all??

Strangely, the mod readme and description has no (specific) mention of this spell as part of the mod and there are no directions for it that I can find in any of the documentation. I have pulled what I could find from the CS (scripts, etc.) but translating by web translator doesn't always make sense.

 

I'll be working on it more when I have time as the mod has a bunch of good things in it, I just need to translate directions and figure out how to use them.

Thanx for the reply.

My native language is German. All I can say is that it means something like "to take the victim's clothes off" or "remove the victim's clothing". You can say "undress" as well.

And there is no "entkleinden" in the German I know, and grew up with, so it must be a typo.

 

But what's so unfitting about the "victim" part here? At least in German "victim of a spell" makes a valid expression. Maybe "target" would be more suiting here?

I think the spell is just not working or you're missing a requirement, such as OBSE or an OBSE plugin for example. Is there any cause for not giving a link or telling a name to search for the mod in question?

Spent a couple of hours today on the CS and translations and at the university library - apparently the spell has nothing to do with stripping, undressing or particularly victims. It casts a spell that translates as "Naked Truth" - which now makes a whole bunch of sense and not only does it work, I know how/where to use it.

 

Thanx to all who responded - while it may not seem like it, your help was valuable and assisted me greatly.
