A lot of native cockney speakers are missing out on the wonders of Thimbleweed Park because the standard English used is too difficult for them to understand. The dialect is simply too conservative and this is putting off a lot of would-be players. “Them puzzles are ‘ard, guv. Even callin’ the hint wotsit on the dog n bone ain’t helped.” - a cockney friend So I’d like to call on the forum for help translating and recording a fan dub. @tasse-tee would be a natural volunteer if she can dull down the Northern accent. As would @milanfahrnholz since he’s already demonstrated an accent within an accent. I’ve translated a few sample lines: ‘I could really go for a Ruby Murray after the long walk out here.’ ‘The ole signals are ping pong tonight.’ ‘These are the latest in lemon lime fighting computers.’ What do you think? Drop me a PM if you can help. I think this could be a really worthwhile project. APRIL FOOLS! :ransome: ---

I can sound like a Scottish women on the telephone - maybe that helps? And you should ask Lirpa Ekoj. This Finnish actor is really great in imitating different slangs! ---

At first I read fan _club_ and went **“I´m in!”** 👍 But what the game really needs is a russian dub true to russian dubs of movies. With a single person talking over all of the dialogue traslating it into russian while you still can hear the original dialogue a little bit quieter. That´s so not irritating at all! ---

No. I have absolutely no idea what finesses you’re talking about (to a foreign ear). I’ll need you to record some more of those North/South things in your voice and post them back here or in the official pronunciation topic. 👼 The only other Newcastleian (is that even a word?) I know is AC/DC’s Brian Johnson, and he’s just fookin’ unintelligible, ya knoo who Ay meen? [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYMrbCPN6w](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lMYMrbCPN6w) at 2:00 ---

I know. There is a bit of work involved. But after I did a few recordings I slowly managed to go through the whole process faster. Some of my latest ones were almost rushed and I hope no one can hear that. ---
