Language translations for leader sayings

Coming back to this thread after a long time, and I realise that there are still a few (albeit minor) mistakes for Wu Zetian.
Declare War should be "You won't be able to offend me again. Go meet King Yan! (also known as Yama in Sanskrit and the ruler of Hell)"
Defeated: "You have already proven that you are a cunning and competent (the use of this word is actually rather odd, since it's usually used to say that someone is good at his job) opponent (slightly better fit than adversary). I congratulate you on your victory.
HateNo1: "Unacceptable“
HateYes1: "I suppose I must agree"
Intro: Greetings. I am Empress Wu Zetian. China pursues peace and seeks independent development. If others don't mess with me, I won't mess with them (the character 犯 can mean many things, such as violate, offend or attack, so I used 'mess with'. Feel free to choose one of the other three translations I listed).
NeutralHearIt03: Keep talking
NeutralNo01: Not possible
 
Actually, if you want I can post Romanisations of Wu's speech...
 
Sure, I wouldn't mind Romanization (Pinyin) for Wu's Chinese.

I also would like some for Arabia, Egypt, Mongolia, India, Siam, Korea, Japan, Russia, Greece, I could probably do the Hindi, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Russian romanization using a certain translating site.
 
We're missing 2 lines for Genghis, his Hate No2, and Neutral Let's hear it01 (the one that goes like bisonsijuan!)

and one line for Bluetooth, his HateHello, though I guess it means Oh, it's you!

I wonder if they will show intro videos for the other leaders before they release the game, maybe not
 
Romanization is a good idea, that way people can read out the lines, I guess. Updated the OP with some of your suggestions, guys. There was one Wu line translation which I thought was better in its original state than the suggestion, so I kept it, can't remember which one.
 
I changed the script to traditional Chinese because 1. Simplified Chinese characters often lose their meaning. The character for love, 愛 loses the portion meaning heart, 心 to become 爱, which no longer fully conveys the idea of love.
2. The Tang, i.e. Wu's dynasty, used more or less the traditional script. Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan (albeit simplified according to their own rules) still do and Vietnam and Korea used to.
3. Aesthetics :D
Note: 、is the Chinese equivalent of a comma when listing things. I added one under Defeated.
Attacked: Fool! I will disembowel you all! (蠢貨！我要把你們開膛破肚!) Chǔnhuò! Wǒ yào bǎ nǐmen kāitángpòdù!
DeclareWar: You won't ever be able to bother me again. Go meet Yan (King of Hell, known as "Yama" in Sanskrit). (你們再也不能冒犯我了。 見閻王去吧。) Nǐmen zài yě bùnéng màofàn wǒ le. Jiàn yánwáng qù ba
Defeated: You have proven to be a cunning and competent opponent. I congratulate you on your victory. (你已經證明了你是一個狡猾、稱職的對手。我為你的勝利祝賀。) Nǐ yǐjīng zhèngmíng le nǐ shì yīgè jiǎohuá、chènzhí de duìshǒu. Wǒ wèi nǐ de shènglì zhùhè

HateNo01: Unacceptable. (不能接受。) Bùnéng jiēshòu
HateNo02: Sorry. Say that again? (對不起， 你再說一遍。) Duìbùqǐ, nǐ zàishuō yībiàn.
HateNo03: Get out! (走開！) Zǒukāi!
HateYes01: I suppose I must accept. (我想我必須同意。) Wǒ xiǎng wǒ bìxū tóngyì
HateYes02: Ah. Very good. (啊， 非常好。) A, fēicháng hǎo
HateYes03: Ah. Very good. (啊， 非常好。) A, fēicháng hǎo
Intro: Greetings, I am Empress Wu Zetian. China desires peace and independent development. You leave us alone, we'll leave you alone. (你好，我是女皇帝武則天。中國追求和平以謀求自身發展。人不犯我，我不犯人。) Nǐhǎo, wǒ shì nǚhuángdì wǔzétiān. Zhōngguó zhuīqiú hépíng yǐ móuqiú zìshēnfāzhǎn. Rén bù fàn wǒ , Wǒ bù fàn rén

NeutralHearIt02: What? (什麼？) Shénme?
NeutralHearIt03: Keep talking. (往下說。) Wǎngxià shuō
NeutralHello: What is it (you want) today? (今天怎麼樣？) Jīntiān zěnmeyàng?
NeutralNo01: Not possible. (不行。) Bùxíng.
NeutralNo02: Of course not. (當然不行。) Dāngrán bùxíng.
NeutralNo03: Definitely not. (肯定不行。) Kěndìng bùxíng.
NeutralYes01: Of course. (當然。) Dāngrán
NeutralYes02: I agree. (我同意。) Wǒ tóngyì.

Almost. ;) Harald's HateHello: (Ah, it's you again.) Ah, det' dig igen.

As for the videos, I hope so, so we can all be prepared. I got a shock when I saw Nebby the first time, he was creepy.
 
We're also missing several lines of Sejong's dialogue
His HateHello, HateNo01, HateYes02, NeutralLet'sHearIt01, NeutralNo01, and NeutralYes02.
 
Added the extra Wu, Sejong and Harald lines. I'll try to contact my Mongolian friend for the rest of the Genghis lines, but I'm not promising anything. It might be a while.

Directed here by the Attila thread...

Oda's Japanese is... interesting. First off, if he is speaking Modern Japanese (which, apparently, he is), I think the 'ka' in HateNo02 for him should be ga.

'Situree da ga...' 'Excuse me, but...' (More literally, 'It's a rude thing, but...')

'Situree da ka' would be... well, I'm not sure if it's linguistically incorrect, but I can't think of anyone EVER saying that. I do admit, though, that my exposure is not the best.

Also, a nitpick, but 'nasakenai' in the Attacked part is a bit more like 'despicable' than 'shameful' (when used to describe a person).

More generally, Nobunaga's speech patterns are of someone very polite but direct. This, to my knowledge, is typical of samurai speech patterns. I am not sure, but the distal-style comments (which are not many) add 'ru' after Tookyoo-ben would finish. I do not know if this is a samurai-style speech issue (as above), or if it marks using a difference dialect. He is not speaking a Kansai dialect, AFAICT, but he may be speaking something that is not Tookyoo-ben.
 
Thanks! Credited you in the OP, and credited Guandao for the Romanization provided thus far in the OP as well.
 
Oh, it's nothing much... at least I'm able to use that degree somewhat. ;)

Also, from a cultural perspective, I find it hilarious that people have an issue with Oda backstabbing everyone. He wasn't the most perfidious daimyo of the Sengoku Jidai (that would be Tokugawa Ieyasu), but he was certainly not above any tactic to achieve his goals.

I hate to call it 'nonsense', but bushido, as a philosophy, didn't even arise until the Tokugawa period, when Japan was (largely) at peace and the samurai caste had to figure out what to do with themselves.

The samurai of the Sengoku Jidai (which, except for the Chushingura incident, is the setting of every samurai drama, really) were pragmatic to the core.

That's not unusual. As a safety mechanism (probably to prevent the voice actor from cursing or something), they have a separate person translate than the person who speaks. I'm not always sure the translator is a native speaker, so they might come up with odd phrases that the voice actor is willing to say (because, although odd, it is technically correct).
