Translation please

I have been playing shogun recently and one feature i love is the fact that they actually speak japanese and not just english in an asian accent, it increases the authenticity 10 fold and makes it feel even more real,

However it would be nice to actually know what they are saying, for example when i order units forward or click on them they utter a string of words/responses in japanese which i would like to know what is meant, so apart from learning japanese, there any way to have like subtitles which translates what is said when either pieces on the campaign map or battle map say when they are ordered around?

Take a guess, it's most likely "Yes Sir" or "Forward!"

I've read somewhere it actually says 'Retreat' when ordering the attack or something like that. Japanese speaking players are really having a laugh about the unit command in game I believe.

Same problem with French in Napoleon Total War, very poorly translated (like "Pieds Léger" for "Light foot" is a direct translation, but it's ridiculous in French).

And they also say "Repliez vous" (fall back) instead of "en avant" (forward).

Maybe the officer are shouting at the enemy to fall back and not to his men ?

I had a good time laughing at the mistakes made until Wind came out with the correction mod.

Even in the horrible Engrish of FoTS, troops say "Fall Back" when i point forward...I feel its more that the units has no sense of direction from their current heading to the pointer...

Maybe they are just building us up for a a perfectly translated rome 2?...

Why would you think that?

Can anybody post a a link to that translation trade I've seen mentioned somewhere above? It seems I can't find it.

Or someone speaking japanese please create one, if there isn't one already. I'm sure many would like to know what the small talk the soldiers make, is about. You know, immersive stuff
