Translation

German

@Buschkling

You translate bayside to Ostsee (Baltic Sea). Why not to Nordsee (North Sea), Mittelmeer (Mediterranean Sea) or Golf von Mexico. Do you see your mistake?

Bayside means an der Bucht. Translations may be

Prachtstraße an der Bucht (1:1)
Bucht-Prachtstraße (1 composed word)
Bucht-Promenade (more handy/usual)

I admit, that Strand-Promenade is also not good.

It's not really a mistake. It's reffering to something, I'll tell you. As it's written here, the course itself is based on a certain town that is located in germany, on the baltic sea. There is a huge hotel called "Bayside", and in the course I took inspiration from it for the "red carpet hotel". So this explains the word "Bayside" in the name. I translated the entire thing to "Ostsee" because of that. German players would know what this means. Did you read my explaination in my PM on wii-homebrew.com?--Buschkling (talk) 11:27, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
Then the english name should be Baltic Boulevard. -- Wiimm (talk) 11:42, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
