El Vibrato language

The weird constructs on El Vibrato Island (as well as one construct in a weird wild west mining cave) use a cypher language to communicate. A lot of the translations were figured out by using an El Vibrato translator to view the English equivalents, as well as many of the combat messages from the El Vibrato MegaDrone. All English words translate to a specific El Vibrato word, although some data is lost in the translation so it is not always possible to translate from El Vibrato to English. See below for exact details.

Translation

When translating a phrase from English to El Vibrato:

• The phrase is split into words (characters separated by spaces or hyphens). Each word is translated individually as follows:
• Any word with a period, number or other special character is unchanged (other than being printed in uppercase).
• Otherwise, the word is split into groups of 3 characters. If the word length is not a multiple of 3, the last group of characters is left at 2 or 4 characters long.
  • (Eg. 6 letters is grouped into XXX-XXX, 7 letters into XXX-XXXX, 8 letters into XXX-XXX-XX, etc. If the word is 4 or fewer characters, it forms a single group.)
• Each group of letters is converted to numbers using A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. and summed up (case is irrelevant). Then take the modulo 21 of the result to give one of the syllables from this chart:

HO	0	GA	7	SOM	14
PA	1	NO	8	BU	15
ZAK	2	CHA	9	AN	16
ZEVE	3	PU	10	CHO	17
NI	4	FU	11	TA	18
NOK	5	LA	12	KRO	19
KUZ	6	STA	13	BE	20

• These syllables are reassembled into words, preserving the original punctuation.
• Some examples:

REPAIR: → REP / AIR

• REP = (18+5+16) = 39 (mod 21) = 18 → TA
• AIR = (1+9+18) = 28 (mod 21) = 7 → GA, so TAGA

FUNCTION: → FUN / CTI / ON

• FUN = (6+21+14) = 41 (mod 21) = 20 → BE
• CTI = (3+20+9) = 32 (mod 21) = 11 → FU
• ON = (15+14) = 29 (mod 21) = 8 → NO, so BEFUNO

Monster names

One exception to the above rule occurs when the El Vibrato MegaDrone translates the name of monsters in its combat attacks, for example "TAFU: <OPPONENT NAME> BUGACHA, FUZEVEZEVECHO GACHOKUZ FUCHANOKCHA." (TARGET: <OPPONENT NAME> SELECTED, MODIFICATION PROTOCOL INITIALIZING). In the previous phrase, the <OPPONENT NAME> section is further modified as follows:

• Any monster with a period or special character is not translated at all (other than being printed in uppercase).
  • Note that numbers by themselves are okay, but numbers mixed in with letters causes the whole name to fail to translate.
  • (Eg. '7-Foot Dwarf' becomes 7-SOM GAZEVE, but 'sk8 gnome' becomes SK8 GNOME.)
• Some monsters with randomly generated names (eg. Hobopolis mobs) are not translated.
• Otherwise, any monster with a hyphen anywhere in its name is translated normally as described above.
• Otherwise, the monster's name is translated into El Vibrato language once, and then that result is translated a second time.
  • (Eg. 'Alphabet Giant' translates to NOFUNI CHOSTA, and then if you translate 'NOFUNI CHOSTA' again, it becomes SOMZAK NOKKRO, which is the final result.)

El Vibrato translator translations

All these translations come from the El Vibrato translator itself. They are not derived from observations of the behaviour of the constructs.

Do not add new translations until you have seen an action both with and without the translator! Theories go to the talk page.
