Krypin becomes hule
Ahead of the launch in Denmark, LunarStorm is translated into Danish. The krypin becomes hule, Tjöt becomes Sniksnak and Spana becomes Flirt og fjas. Anyone who has forgotten their password is greeted with “Har hunden spist dit kodeord? Fortvivl ikke!”
- TDC’s glossary arrived on 8 August 2001. Gästbok became gæstebog, vänner venner, prylar “Skidt & kanel”, Navelludd Navleuld and the nickname Lunarnavn.
- TDC first wanted to call Diskus “Debat” and Navelludd “Links”, but LunarStorm’s own words were kept.
- The front page promised “Danmarks hyggeligste mødeplads på nettet”, and *kjamiz* became “*stort knus*”.
- The gender code became P for pige (girl) and D for dreng (boy). In Sweden P meant pojke (boy).
- The 404 page said “Oops! Siden du prøver at finde eksisterer ikke =(”, and anyone logging out got “CIAO! Tak for besøget”.
