Capital Language translations for leader sayings

Gods and Kings Translations

Attila the Hun
Speaks broken Chuvash with many grammatical errors and mispronunciations. Still, the voice actor is amazing, just the right amount of menace and bluster.
Sources: XML, Red Khan, who compiled a list of translations from the following sources: people on Russian linguistics forum Lingvoforum (users Awwal12, SWR and especially Zhendoso), Youtube users Ulahp and reflejo2 (A scholar of Turkic philology, and a native speaker specializing in Chuvash, check out his channel if you want to hear real Chuvash speech).
Red Khan also looked into game's XML files and found out that some lines might be the ones that were given to the translator.

Notes:
This is certainly modern Chuvash, there are many loanwords from Arabic, which entered the Bulgar language after the adoption of Islam in the 10th century (Chuvash is a direct descendant from this language) and loanwords from Russian from as late as the 20th century. Both of these were not possible in Attila's time. Arabic was restricted to the Arabic peninsula and Russian didn't even exist (Proto-Slavic, from which all Slavic languages emerged did).

Originally there was no T–V distinction in Chuvash, although under the influence of Russian, it has been entering usage since 20th century. Officially Chuvash uses the Cyrillic alphabet (minority languages in Russia are restricted by law from using any other alphabet), but the Latin alphabet is also used unofficially. Transcriptions below are in both alphabets (first Latin then Cyrillic).

Firaxis likely chose Chuvash to represent Attila because according to some scholars, the Hunnic language belonged to the Oghur branch of Turkic languages, although it is not a commonly accepted theory. Most probably the scholar whom Firaxis contacted was a supporter of this theory and recommended Chuvash, as it is the only surviving member of the Oghur branch.

Attacked
Ku mĕn vara!? Esĕ manran hăvăn pujanlăha hamăn (manăn?) pysăk tupăšlăh şumne(?) hušma yjtan. Jyhrava jyšănnă. / Ку мĕн вара!? Эсĕ манран хăвăн пуйанлăха хамăн (манăн?) пысăк тупăшлăх ҫумне(?) хушма ыйтан. Йыхрава йышăннă.
Now what is this?! You ask me to add your riches to my great avails. The invitation is accepted.
Note: Wrong words, wrong tone, missing sounds.
Maybe this line from XML was used: "Try that again, and I'll add your gold to my riches as well."

DeclaresWar
Mana şakă tron jălăhtarma puşlarĕ. Un vyrănne manăn SAN tron şine laras ???[šuhăš] pur. / Мана çакă трон йăлăхтарма пуçларĕ. Ун вырăнне манăн САН трон çине ларас ???[шухăш] пур.
I'm getting bored of this throne (of mine). I have ??? to sit on YOUR throne instead.
From XML: I grow tired of this throne. I think I should like to have yours instead.
Note: It seems that the voice actor understands the word "tron" (throne), which was loaned from Russian during soviet times. He pronounces it in a very Russian way and emphasizes it.

Defeated
Manăn halăh mana kuşşul' mar şyn junĕpe hujhărsa makărasšăn-i? / Манăн халăх мана куҫҫуль мар ҫын юнĕпе хуйхăрса макăрасшăн-и?
My people mourn me not with tears but with human blood. (XML: My people will mourn me not with tears but with the blood of men.)
Wrong usage: hujhărsa makăr 'cry grieving' for 'mourn' which is hühle, wrong syntax: kuşşulĕ mar şyn junĕpe correct: kuşşulĕpe mar, şyn junĕpe, off-course pronunciation, wrong grammar: wrong: makărasšan 'willing to cry' correct makărĕ 'will cry'. And of course, this isn't a question, so -i? (a question particle) - mustn't be used.

HateHello
Mĕn kirlĕ? / Мĕн кирлĕ?
What do you want?

HateLetsHearIt01
Ku mĕn-ha vara? / Ку мĕн-ха вара?
Now what is this?

HateLetsHearIt02
Vara? / Вара?
So what?

HateLetsHearIt03
Malalla tu! / Малалла ту!
Literally: "Forward do", phrase in Chuvash sounds as bad as the literal translation in English
Continue!

HateNo01
Two variants:
1. Kăna jyšănma maj şuk. / Кăна йышăнма май çук.
It is not possible to accept
2. Sana jyšănma maj şuk. / Сана йышăнма май çук.
There's no way to take you in.

HateNo02
Esĕ uhmaha tuhnă! / Эсӗ ухмаха тухна!
You are mad! (from XML), literally "You turned into a fool!"
Note: word "uhmaha" (fool) is a loanword from Arabic (aḥmaḳ). It's actually the first word in Harun al-Rashid's and Ramesses's attacked speeches.

HateNo03
Two variants:
1. Viles kilet-i? Hăvărt ăsatam. / Вилес килет-и? Хăвăрт ăсатам. Do you want to die? I'll see to it at once. (Literally "I'll take/lead you (to the next world) at once.")
2. Viles kilet-i vara sanăn? - So, you want to die, don't you?

HateYes01
Pitĕ lajăh. Kalaşsa tatăltămăr. / Питĕ лайăх. Калаçса татăлтăмăр.
Very well. Agreed.
Note: Lajăh (good, well) is a loanword from Arabic (lāyiḳ).

HateYes02
Şapla! / Çапла!
Exactly!

HateYes03
Pitĕ lajăh. / Питĕ лайăх.
Very well.

Intro
Esĕ halĕ Attila umĕnche, Rim hulin inkek-sinkekĕ. / Эсӗ халĕ Аттила умĕнче, Рим хулин инкек-синкекĕ. (Wrong usage, wrong syntax, wrong articulation.)
You are now in front of Attila, the misfortunes of the city of Rome. (poor translation to Chivash)
After that two variants:
1. Avan man kămăllăhn ukkerme irĕk an par / Аван ман кăмăллăхн уккерме ирĕк ан пар.
Syntactically incorrect sentence, literally "good my mood drop will (as in willpower) don't". Should have been either "Avan kămălna ukerme irĕk an par" (Do it in such way that i won't ruin your good mood) or "Man avan kămălămа űkerme irĕk pamastăp" (I won't allow to ruin my good mood)
2. Avan, man kămăllă hăna ük..
"Well, my lovely guest, fall... [i think he says sonething like kneel before me but it's not clear]"

XML contains the following line: "You are in the presence of Attila, scourge of Rome. Do not let hubris be your downfall as well."
Attila was actually called "the Scourge of God", not "scourge of Rome"

Note: Judging by the way the first sentenced is pronounced, you can tell that voice actor doesn't have a clue about what he is saying. He pauses between "Attila" and the next word "umĕnche" (literal translation would be "You now Attila-front"). No native speaker of a Turkic language would make a pause in that place, the reason the voice actor does it is the comma after "Attila" in the English sentence.

NeutralHello
Lajăh kĕtse julcĕş / Лайăх кĕтсе илчĕç
They received well.
Maybe it's an attempt to say "We welcome you."

NeutralLetsHearIt01
Jalanhi pekeh tu malalla / Яланхи пекех ту малалла
Let's proceed as usual.
Note: Incorrect; funny phrase for a native-speaker.

NeutralLetsHearIt02
Malalla tusa pyr / Малалла туса пыр
Continue
Note: Even funnier phrase for a native-speaker.

NeutralLetsHearIt03
Şapla-i, tusăm? / Ҫапла-и, тусăм?
Do you agree, my friend?

NeutralNo01
Manăn kunpa kilĕšmelle mar. / Манăн кунпа килĕшмелле мар.
I must refuse, literally "I shouldn't agree to this"

NeutralNo02
Şuk. / Çук.
No.

NeutralNo03
Halĕ mar. / Халĕ мар.
Not now.
Note: "Halĕ" (now) is a loanword from Arabic (ḥālen)

NeutralYes01
Pitĕ lajăh. / Питĕ лайăх.
Very well.

NeutralYes02
Veşeh lajăh. / Вĕçĕх лайăх.
All is good.
Note: word "veşeh" (all) is a slightly changed loanword from Russian (весь/ves').

NeutralYes03
Kalaşsa tatălnă. / Калаçса татăлнă.
Agreed.

Peaceful
Hăš cuhne şuhatu pulat', hut' te mĕnle tărăšsa hatĕrlensen te. / Хăш чухне çухату пулать, хуть те мĕнле тăрăшса хатĕрленсен те.
Sometimes you endure losses, however well you've tried at preparations.
From XML: Sometimes a loss occurs despite the best attempt at preparation.
Note: Word "hut'" (even/however/despite) is loanword (no later than 18th century) from Russian (хоть/hot'). "Hatĕrlensen" is a derivative from "hatĕr" (ready), a loanword from Arabic (ḥāżir).

Request
Kil-ha! Kunta numaj kilĕšü hucĕsem tumalla. / Кил-ха! Кунта нумай килĕшÿ хучĕсем тумалла.
Come here! There are lots of agreement papers to do.
From XML: "Come, there are many great treaties to be drawn!"
Note: "Kil-ha" (come) is probably used incorrectly, since it's used only to ask/give an order to another person to physically come to you, not as invitation to start some action, as in "Come, let's do it".

Boudicca
Modern Welsh.
Source: Smokey Monkey
BoudicaAttacked: You dare! I will be the one owning your head/I will own your head! ("Ti feiddia! Mae fi bydd yn perchen ar dy ben di!")
BoudicaDeclaresWar: I've been watching you, you're most devious!/you devious pigs! To guard/arms patriots! (We) March to war! ("Mae fi'n wylio a ti, yr hen mwyach a ffiaithdra/mochau ffiaithdra! I'r gad(?) gwladgarwyr! Marchogon i rhyfel!")

BoudicaHate01: That's unacceptable! ("Hyna'n anerbyniol!")
BoudicaHate02: A thousand times no! ("Mil waith na!")
BoudicaHate03: Never! ("Byth!")
BoudicaHate01 AND 02: These are exactly the same but voiced twice, they use a well known Welsh phrase "Ych a fi" which is basically "Eugh/Disgusting! Fine/Okay then..." ("Ych a fi! O'r gorau...")
BoudicaHate03: But if I have to... ("Ond os oes rhaid i mi...")
BoudicaIntro: I am Boudica, Queen of the Celts, and nobody better try rushing me. ("Mae fi yw Buddug, Brenhines y Celtiaid, a peidiad neb am tra frysio i.")
BoudicaNeutralHello: God has given good to you." (("Duw a rhoddod da i chi")
BoudicaNeutralLetsHearIt01 AND 02: Voiced twice. "We are all ears..." ("Rydym yn glustiau i gyd...")
BoudicaNeutralLetsHearIt03: "Forward." (Not the best word to use here.) ("Ymlaen.")
BoudicaNeutralNo01: We must refuse/decline. ("Mae'n rhaid i ni wrthod.")
BoudicaNeutralNo02: No. ("Na.")
BoudicaNeutralNo03: We refuse/decline. ("Rydym yn gwrthod")
BoudicaNeutralYes01: Okay. ("Iawn")
BoudicaNeutralYes02: Unintelligible speech + Sure. ("Byd(?) siwr.")
BoudicaNeutralYes03: Accepted/acceptable. ("Cytynwyd.")
BoudicaPeaceful: Good play/Well played, fellow warrior. ("Chwarae da, cydrhyfelwr.") They should've put "Chwarae teg," a well known phrase for "Fair play," instead of "Chwarae da" which sounds rubbish ...
BoudicaRequest: "Let us unite our armies, and profit from the challenges" ("Gadewch i ni uno ein byddinoedd, ac elwa o'r herwydd.")

Intro: Greetings, wayward one. I am known as Pacal.
Attacked *creepy laugh* (Apparently this is the creepy laugh that was originally intended for Lose_war02.

Defeated: Today comes pain that is always hot. With you comes the path to the black storm. (Behla’e’ tal lelo’ Yah U laylie k’iinal. yetel tal A beh u ch’en.)
The "black storm" is likely related to the whole Mayan apocalypse, as the glyph for ch'en appears in the haab' calender as the 9th month.

Ramses and Haroun both speak formal Arabic. Its not medieval and still used today in print (newspapers, novels...etc) and formal events.

Source of Translation would be me, an Egyptian whose mother tongue is Arabic. Here are a few translations:

Ramesses:

Intro: Greetings, I am Ramesses the God. I am a living embodiment of Egypt, mother and father of civilization.
Attacked: You are a Fool who deserves sympathy. You have doomed yourself and your pathetic civilization. (His use of the word 'pathetic' here could also mean depressing, but I stand by my translation).
Declares War:You are but a pest on this Earth, prepare for your death.
Defeated: Knock me to the ground and my soul will torment yours forever - You have won nothing.
HateHearIt01.mp3: And then?
HateHearIt02.mp3: Continue your speech (In english you would just say 'continue' or 'please continue')
HateHello: Oh its you.
Hate No 01: This is unacceptable
Hate No 02: You cannot be serious about your request
Hate No 03: Excuse me?


Haroun

Intro: Welcome foreigner, I am Haroun Al-Rashid, Caliph of the Arabs. Come to me and tell me about your empire.

Attacked: Fool! I will make you regret this dearly! I swear it!
Declares War: The world will be more beautiful without you, prepare for war.
Defeated: You have won, congratulations. My palace is now in your possession, I ask that you look after *word I can't make out*
Demand: Can we do business? Your advisers can help you out if you do not understand.

I'll do the rest later when I have some time.

Is there a place where we can find the sound files so I can play them all outside the game? Also, are they titled "Hate No 1" Hate No 2" etc? If so, I could translate Wu Zetian for you

Yes, it's located in assets/sounds/speech/shared.

Also, translation of Napoleon's replies.

Napoleon:
Intro: Welcome. I'm Napoleon, of France; the smartest military in the world history.
Attacked: You've fallen into my trap. I'll bury you.
Declares war: You're disturbing us, prepare for war.
Gloat: I hope you've learned the lesson; I'm invincible.
Defeated1: I commend you for your victory.
Defeated2: I've fought... Do what you want of me.
Peace: It seems I underestimated you. I won't do the same mistake again, I promise you.
Request: France offer you this exceptionnal proposition.
Demand: This is what France demand, your survival depends on your answer.
HateHearIt1: Speak.
HateHello: Shut up.
HateNo: Certainly not.
HateNo2: It's unacceptable.
HateNo3: This is not serious.
HateYes: All right.
HateYes2: I guess I've no choice.
HateYes3: Certainly.
HateYes4: It's all right.
HateYes5: Excellent.
NeutralYes: Excellent.
NeutralHearIt1: Continue.
NeutralHearIt2: I'm listening.
NeutralHearIt3: Go on.
NeutralHearIt4: You were saying?
NeutralHello: Hello.
NeutralNo: We refuse.
NeutralNo2: Of course not.
NeutralNo3: No.
NeutralYes: Very well.
NeutralYes2: Very well.
NeutralYes3: I heard.

My French is not really good, but it suffices for some of napoleon's ramblings:

Speaks German.
Translation source: me & Aldor

Intro: In the name of the great German people, I welcome you. ("Im Namen des großen deutschen Volkes heiße ich euch willkommen.")
Attacked: Depraved Villain! We will bring you under the earth! ("Verderbder Bösewicht! Wir werden euch unter die Erde bringen!")
Declares War: I cannot wait until you grow even mightier, therefore: Prepare for war! ("Ich kann nicht warten bis Ihr noch mächtiger geworden seit. Bereitet euch also auf den Krieg vor!")
Defeated: Germany has been destroyed. I weep for the future generations. ("Deutschland ist zerstört worden. Ich weine um die zukünftigen Generationen.")
Hate Hello: Well, Speak! ("Also - raus damit!")
Hate Let's Hear It 01: Well?! ("Und?!")
Hate Let's Hear It 02: Go On! ("Macht schon!")
Hate Let's Hear It 03: Well, tell me! ("Na, sagt schon!")
Hate Yes: Well, ok. ("Also, gut.")
Hate Yes 02: It seems I can't refuse. ("Ich kann wohl nicht anders.")
Hate No: That is unacceptable! ("Das ist inakzeptabel!")
Hate No 02: You can't be serious! ("Das kann doch nich' euer ernst sein!")
Neutral Hello: What now? ("Was nun?")
Neutral Yes : Settled! ("Abgemacht!")
Neutral Yes 02: Allright! ("In Ordnung!")
Neutral No: No. ("Nein.")
Neutral No 02: We do not accept. ("Wir nehmen es nicht an.")
Neutral Let's Hear It 01: What did you send? ("Was habt ihr gesandt?") - unsure of the last word...
Neutral Let's Hear It 02: Move it! ("Vorwärts!")
Neutral Let's Hear It 03: Yes? ("Ja?")
Peaceful: What do you think about [some undecipherable sound/word] ? ("Was haltet ihr von einem (??)uninschn(?!?) ?") - last word doesn't make sense in german...
Gloat: Well, I hope you have learned your lesson. ("Na gut, ich hoffe Ihr habt jetzt Eure Lektion gelernt.")
Demand: Give us what we demand, if you want your wretched country to survive. ("Gebt uns, was wir verlangen, wenn euer jämmerliches Land überleben soll.")
Request:It would be in your best interest, to carefully consider this proposal. ("Es wäre in Eurem Interesse, dass Ihr dieses Angebot sorgfältig prüft.")

ok - this should be all now.

I would like to add that some of these translations aren't literal - I took the freedom to switch some words in order for the sentences to make sense.
Further I would like to add that this is not "proper" german as I use it every day. For example I have never heard anyone using the word "Bösewicht", which I have translated as "villian", when adressing someone - only when talking about a book or movie do you use this word... I wonder who did the translation for them...

Oh, and I haven't heard the "Gloat" and "Demand" yet.
Most often I hear the "Request" - which is as unfitting as the english talk.

Even though some leaders speak a different language, what they say sometimes sounds like something in English.

Ever notice Caesar always opens with what sounds like 'fukoffero'.

I corrected the intro on the Ramessess translation after listening to it again with my brother. he says Egypt is the mother and father of civilization - not sure why I had heard it differently the first time *shrug*

After you mentioned the peacock, I realized that is the word I was missing (pronounced ta-wuus in Arabic) from the defeat message. So it goes:

Haroun Defeated: You have won, congratulations. My palace is now in your possession, I ask that you look after the peacock.

Here's one for Wu Zetian. I'm pretty sure for everyone except "Attacked"
Source: Me

Attacked: Hmph, I will slaughter all of you. (Not entirely sure about this one, but it does convey what she's trying to say)
DeclareWar: You won’t ever be able to bother me again. Go meet Yama (King of Hell, in other words, “Go to hell!”).
Declared: You have proven to be a cunning and competent adversary. I congratulate you on your victory.
HateHearIt01: And what else?
HateHearIt02: Keep talking.
Hello: Oh? It’s you.
HateNo01: I cannot accept that.
HateNo02: Sorry. Say that again?
HateNo03: Get out of my face!
HateYes01: I suppose I must accept.
HateYes02: Ah. Very good.
HateYes03: Ah. Very good.
Intro: Greetings, I am Empress Wu Zetian. China desires peace and development. You leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone.
NeutralHearIt01: Continue.
NeutralHearIt02: What?
NeutralHearIt03: Keep going.
NeutralHello: How are you today?
NeutralNo01: Nope!
NeutralNo02: Of course not.
NeutralNo03: Definitely not.
NeutralYes01: Of course.
NeutralYes02: I agree.
NeutralYes03: Excellent!
Request: My friend, do you think you can accept this request?

This is one amazing thread. You have no idea how annoying it was to me to hear one thing, and read something completely different - it was like watching a movie with some lame home-made amateur subtitles - yuck!

Nicely done, thank you!

Excellent guys, thanks so much! Will now busy myself adding in your translations. And yes, if you'd like to provide transcriptions too, that'd be excellent. I'd like to see the written Latin, German and French, myself. I could ask my friend for Mongolian transcriptions but she's busy with collegiate work, so I don't want to pester her more. XD

I think we'd easily be able to get translations for Gandhi, Catherine, Suleiman, Wu and Oda....and I'm sure there's people who speak Mohawk who use the Internet too. Might be tricky to find the Nahuatl speakers though.

"Shimikakan, shimikakan, SHIMIKAKAN!" --Montezuma

One thing that strikes me as curious is how some AI have "Demand" and "Gloat" messages while others don't. I've never heard these ingame (though I have heard Peaceful), so I'm wondering if it's just the case that Firaxis didn't use these because they forgot to get ALL the voice actors to speak their Demand and Gloat lines.

Wow! That's really cool. I've only met one Egyptian in my entire life. And Harun was talking about the peacocks in the sound file. The text for one of his defeat messages says so anyway. Thanks for your translations, and please do provide more when you have time!

Thanks Guardian_PL! I do agree that they should have had more of the leader's responses accurately translated. They do that for the defeat/intro messages (or at least, one of the intro translations), but not for anything else.

Ramkhamhaeng

This is my transcription and translation.

He speaks a mix of old-fashioned and modern Thai. At times he speaks *extremely* quickly; there are two phrases that I can't be 100% sure of.

The transcription is easy to do, but translating Thai can be quite difficult in that much of the meaning is lost. English simply doesn't have the required words or expressions to do the job. Nonetheless, I have chosen a fairly literal translation but to better capture what he's saying I'd need to take quite a few liberties. A native Thai speaker could improve this translation.

Attacked: You are evil. I/we will be prepared to deal with you [low-status 'you']. (ผู้คนต่ำช้าเราจะเตรียมพร้อมสำหรับรับมือเจ้า)
DeclareWar: You are a lowly person, yet you are arrogant. I/we will make you sad. With words you have shown yourself to be overconfident. (ผู้คนต่ำต้อยจองหองเราจะทำให้เจ้าเสียใจ กับคำอวดดีของเจ้า)
Defeated: Although I/we shall be defeated, even so, only my/our mere possessions will be bothered to stay over the fire continuously. I/we have no way to choose what else to request. Good luck to you [high-status 'you']! (แม้เราจะแพ้แต่เกรดของเราจะลนอยู่ตลอดไปเราไม่มีทาง เลือกใดอีกขอให้ท่านโชคดี) [It's impossible to tell whether he's saying 'ลนอยู่ตลอดไป' or 'รนอยู่ตลอดไป'... both make sense but have quite different meanings.]
Demand: This is an agreement of ours. You [high-status 'you'] shall agree [to the conditions] or you shall agree to die! (นี่เป็นเงื่อนไขของเราท่านจะยอมรับ หรือจะยอมตาย)
HateHearIt01: You say that... (เจ้าบอกว่า)
HateHearIt02: And? (แล้ว) [Devilishly hard to translate.]
HateHearIt03: I invite you to negotiate. (เชิญต่อ)
HateHello: Hello. (สวัสดี)
HateNo01: This is a thing that cannot be agreed on. (นี่เป็นสิ่งที่ยอมรับไม่ได้)
HateNo02: You probably didn't mean that really. (เจ้าคงไม่ได้หมายความเช่นจริงๆ)
HateNo03: You said what? (เจ้าพูดว่าอะไรนะ)
HateYes01: I/we think that you have to make it like that. (เราคิดว่าเจ้าต้องทำเช่นนั้น)
HateYes02: Very good. (ดีมาก)
Intro: I am King Ramkhamhaeng, King of Siam. I regard this occasion as a very great honour, that you are able to come here to visit my country of Siam. (เราพ่อขุนรามคำแหงกษัตริย์แห่งสยาม นับเป็นเกียรติอย่างยิ่งที่ท่านเดินมาได้เยี่ยม ประเทศสยามของเรา)
NeutralHearIt01: Like that? (อย่างนั้นหรือ)
NeutralHearIt02: You say that... (เจ้าบอกว่า)
NeutralHearIt03: I/we am/are listening. (เรากำลังฟังอยู่)
NeutralHello Welcome! (ยินดีต้อนรับ)
NeutralNo01 No. (ไม่)
NeutralNo02 [I'm] not sure. (ไม่แน่นอน)
NeutralNo03 [You] have no chance! (ไม่มีทาง)
NeutralYes01: If [it's] like that. (ถ้าอย่างนั้น)
NeutralYes02: Certainly! (แน่นอน)
NeutralYes03: Okay. (ตกลง)
Peaceful: You are the winner already; but I/we shall come back again in order to get adequate compensation for this [defeat]. (เจ้าชนะแล้ว แต่เราจะกลับมาใหม่เพื่อตอบแทนเจ้าให้สาสม)
Request: Hello. I/we believe that this is an offer that is suitable for both parties. What do you think about it? (สวัสดีเราเชื่อว่านี่เบ็นข้อเสนอที่จะทำสำหรับทั้นส องฝ่ายท่านคิดว่าอย่างไร)
