Or, at least, how to read rulebook sentences concerning Jump Up and players who have less than three squares of movement. Cause on FranceBloodBowl forum, we are discussing about it and have two different versions, yours (Double Skulls and Snew) and another one :
With Jump up, a player "stands up for free without paying the three squares of movement". But if a player "has less than three squares of movement, he must roll 4+ to stand up". So a player with Move 2 still has to roll 4+ to stand up but, then, if he succeeds in, he will be abble to move 2 squares (+1+1 go for its if he chooses to) cause thanks to Jump up he doesn't pay 3 squares to stand up.
PS : I have no doubt that your version is the good one but I just want a clear explanation to translate it in french on FranceBloodBowl forum
PPS : concerning english not being FranceBloodBowl french coachs first language, it does have an importance. Cause these coachs have a french rulebook, translated by other blood bowl coachs who aren't professional translators (but did a very good job, thanks mates!).
I think that language differences make a big difference. Sentence structures are different from one language to the next, hence a francophone reading something written in English might misinterpret what they read just because of the sentence structures. Some nuances in the wording may not get understood either.
And from reading posts on this forum, some people write with english words, but their sentence structures are obviously not english. I'm not pointing at anybody, this is just the way it is. I'm sure I do it as well.
Heck, even within a language there may be differences. My first language is french, and I spent some time on the francebloodbowl forum. Being in Canada, I have always played bloodbowl in English. It took me a couple of days to figure out what the heck they were talking about on the forum. The skill names are different, which is one thing, but the regional expressions are completely different. Even today, I don't always understand what they are saying. And we speak the same language (or at least we're supposed to).
Noone ever said that I had to be good at it because it was my language. It was my worst subject in school and I still hate it. If I had any talent I'd learn a second language, I feel pretty strongly about that, but I can't manage the one I DO know. So, yea, I understand what you're saying. I struggle with game directions. I usally take them to my wife for clarification. Then we end up in and spat about whether it's stupid, or how bad the grammer is on an "official doc", blah blah blah.
