Hey all. I've been looking into translating the front page for the sign up for the sims 4 newsletter signup page found here and thought I'd share what I've found.



That's the direct translation using the immager-simlish font found here thanks to inkandchaos.

I've found on a few other forums that it's a placeholder but couldn't find a post of the translation. So I hope this solves at least a few mysteries.

Minor problem being that inkandchaos seems to have made up his own font. I don't think it's accurate, especially given the translation.

"Lorum ipsum" etc. is standard placeholder text in graphic design circles for when you just need a block of text to fill something in. It's Latin, and I don't think that if you translate it from Latin to English (or any other language) that the meaning has any significance. It's just easier than trying to make something up that people will read things into when the look, not the meaning, is what's important.

Fourth line down looks like the designer got frustrated and just banged on the keys for a bit, though.

When translated from latin to english-either some of the translations are off or just as esmeiolanthe

Ah! Thanks for reminding me. It seems I missed the "consectur adipisicing elit" in my post that you can find here .

That's too bad. I was hoping that maybe EA had hidden some kind of hint about TS4 for us to find. Oh well, maybe we'll learn more at E3 next month.

Easy translation...
