French to English intrepretator required for a DARING MISSION!

[Mister Phes]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to translate the text in the top-right corner of this image to English...

 

 

 

 

[Khorne]

The text is simply the solutions to the "find the X amount of differences" game.

My French isn't perfect, but here's what it says:

"Solutions:

In the governor's fortress: the flag has changed; there are two guards instead of one.

On the Governor's Brick: the flag has changed direction; the character that climbs the ladder is higher; one of the cannons is hidden; a character in the front has disappeared; the shark has changed direction

On the pirate ship: at the front, the monkey has disappeared; the figure at the bow (aka figurehead) has lost its glass; the first pirate in the sloop has changed his hat; the pirate at the end of the "roping" (can't come up with the proper English term now: the line that runs from the front of the ship to the back) is missing; at the back, there is a pirate missing."

The Governor's Brick is probably the name of the blue-sailed ship and the pirate ship of which the text speaks is missing from your image.

I guess that's referring to this image:

Oh, and "on the Governor's brick" should be "On the Governor's brig". It's a type of ship, not a brick (stone).

Ah yes, that makes sense .

Aha, okay, makes sense too! I thought it was a LEGO joke/wordplay, but in hindsight the grammar would've also been off if that were the case. Thanks for the correction.

the "roping"

"Cordage" means rigging in English.

@Khorne : you did translate it well ! Good job !

This text is just the answers to the "find the differences" game.

To be clear about the Brick-Brig difference... Well... In French there is also a Brick ship (borrowed from the English), usually used for Brig. And sometimes even more confusing, used also with "Brigantin" and all the vessels are mixed up ! (The art of French Language ! just too arrogant to not follow the English terminology... )

Ah yes, that was the word I was looking for! It was on the tip of my tongue, yet I just couldn't come up with the word.

My French is rusty in general and my knowledge of nautical French terms is mostly non-existent, so thanks for the extra information regarding the brig/brick. I would've never have known that, if you guys hadn't pointed out the mistake there.

Your French is quite well preserved, not really rusty to me. Good job !

Nautical French is just craziness... My teacher at school usually said we have a beautiful language but built by tortured intellectuals...
