How do Cantrians say 'Sleeper' (Schläfer?), '(to) Spawn' (erzeugen?) and 'Newspawn' (???) in German? Can anyone think of any other words that are Cantr-specific?

(Maybe this'd be better in the German section but no one's posted there for months - that'll be my backup plan if I can't get an answer here)


In Dutch we mostly just use the same word I think: "Newspawn". Or you can use words like "appeared" vs. "Spawned" and "newby/new person" vs. "newspawn". Probably differs between language groups and players though.

I don't recall Dutch characters saying newspawn, but the word is so ingrained in Cantr vocabulary that it wouldn't be hard to miss.
Read about my characters by following this link.

Translations of real-life near-synonyms until I hear otherwise then I guess?

Yepp, I'd say just work around it :)
