That would be Sian not Sion. Sian is the female name, Sion is the Welsh Shaun or Sean etc.
Perhaps sukritact is right, and the civ community could probably do a better job with the translations than that studio that Firaxis used... But then again, maybe not that many people care about, for instance, what that "Mexican chic" Isabella I of Castile actually says...
@Morningcalm Sorry that I'm nagging, but can you please update Darius' and Dido's lines on the first page?

Can you possibly do the transcriptions in Phoenician alphabet? Maybe only one part, for example the intro.
Сonsidering that Phoenicians actually invented the alphabet and many modern alphabets (Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin, Cyrillic) are it's descendants it would be really interesting.

Where do you get this information
Oh, and last I heard we do know who voiced Kamehameha, I am pretty certain in fact that someone from CFC (MorningCalm?) contacted him directly. The actor was someone working at the University of Hawai.
That's right! I emailed him and he was very willing to provide translations. I was so surprised when he told me he was the one who had done the lines!
Front page updated per your suggestions guys. Let me know if anything is missing. The parent post is getting huge, so the "mystery" leaders (Askia, Hiawatha, Montezuma) may eventually need to be put in the 3rd post perhaps.
Errr... I can read and write in Phoenician alphabet, but there is no easy way to input that into a computer I'm afraid... (write it down and then scan it?)
I'll also try looking if there maybe is a font for Hebrew that uses the original Canaanite letters instead of Aramaic ones (but even then the best I could do is to paste images here)
@Morningcalm I think you took the old version of my post, since I have updated it with Armuti's (aka reflejo2) new findings (attacked, defeated and intro lines).
May I also suggest inserting this paragraph into the first post:
@jinzou I think that using Wikipedia's image letters will be easier. Something like this:
One line will be OK in my opinion, but we should ask Morningcalm, maybe it even won't fit there.
Just a suggestion - maybe one of Darius's lines can be done the same way in Aramaic alphabet.
Phoenician alphabet is supported by Unicode, but you also must have a font that supports it installed on your OS. I doubt that a lot of people will do it to just have a look. Here is more info on Wiki.

Yes, I already installed Phoenician input on my PC (this is how I made the inscription above). But as I said, there is no easy way to post it here in a way that everyone will be able to see it without installing additional fonts, languages and programs.
Using Wikipedia's images is also cumbersome (dragging them one by one), but if people are interested I can try doing that.
Modern Hebrew also uses the Aramaic alphabet, and as such, the modern Hebrew alphabet can be used to represent Aramaic faithfully. The differences between wikipedia's Aramaic and Hebrew are stylistic only, and both are versions that were popular in the Achaemenid era.
BTW, Aramaic and Canaanite languages are written right-to-left (I noticed you posted the letters in a left-to-right order)

Well, I am pretty disappointed by the results of this crusade for the Attila's language, especially considering it doesn't really make any sense to use Chuvash instead of, say, Gothic. And even then, spoken by an apparent Russian "Turkologist".

Morningcalm, I have a suggestion about the first post. You can copy Gods and Kings translations to the fourth post, the DLC translations to the third post and copy half of the first post to the second post. This will allow you to list the sources and to add the lines of Washington and Elizabeth. So you'll have 9 civs in the 1st post, 9 civs in the 2nd post, 7 civs in the 3rd post and 9 civs in the 4th post.

Why not write out the line using the Phoenician font and then take a screenshot of the final result? It will probably be easier than a cut and paste job.
Some comments about Oda's Japanese.
The voice actor is a native who speaks mostly informal Japanese in the "standard" (Tokyo eastern) dialect, in spite of the fact that the historical person lived in western Japan. Most of his short utterances are in the informal form (or "register"), and the longer ones are in a formal polite form.
Some of his lines have verb endings that are no longer used in modern Japanese. I suggest the description of his language be changed from "modern Japanese" to "mostly modern Japanese."
Here are the sentences using antiquated forms which show he is not always speaking modern Japanese:
DeclareWar: I hereby inform you of our intention to wipe out your civilization from this world. 貴殿の偉大なる文明国をこの世から拭い去る我等が意向をご通知申し上げまする。Kiden no idai naru bunmeikoku o kono yo kara fui saru warera ga ikō o gotsūchi mōshiagemasuru

Since there are many complaints about certain leaders using the wrong language, does the lip syncing in the game adjust itself automatically to the sound file? If so, and if we could get voice actors, those who wish to correct the leaders' languages could do so easily.
I realize this could also be seen as a mod request, and therefore off-topic, but it does refer to many people's comments here that Atilla, Ramses or whoever is using the wrong language.

I can tell you that it does not. I tried recording myself to replace Ramkhamhaeng's dialogue (Other than the intro, everything is correct grammatically, it's just that some of it is not what someone would say in that situation, his Neutral No 02 for example would probably be interpreted as "uncertain" if you didn't have the context)
I gave up later because getting the length and timing right was ridiculously tedious.

Greetings.
I see the Dutch lines have already been translated. I've made some adjustments though, and I feel these translations are a bit more accurate.

Something to note: the phrase he says when he is defeated are supposedly his final words(though he said them in French), after falling to the bullet of an assassin. It is now believed though that William died immediately after getting shot, thus making it impossible to say any final words.

Hm, could you post the corrected versions? Would be easier to compile that way. Saves me time (I'm not familiar with Japanese characters).
ToothedBomb, thanks for the corrections. Added to parent post.
If we're going for absolute accuracy:
Mostly minor quibbles, I've just added few notes, changed the pronouns in English to singular pronouns (it seems unlikely he would switch from singular to plural without reason) and edited the translations to make them more like what he says in Thai. Still, there aren't that many changes.

Not a translation error, but a formatting error. You're missing the file name of Theodora's Intro. It must have gotten deleted somewhere.
