I‘m a translator of China and I want to ask,why quatz and that purple crystal were named Certus and Fluix?What memes they are instead of?

commented

Do you mean "Why were the crystals named Certus and the purple being Fluix? What do they mean?"

commented

he want's to have a non-(semi-)fantasy name that he can use for translation as those names translate not well

the only alternate meanings i could find for "certus" is "reliable" and "fluix" meaning of things beeing in a "flow", maybe because the items flow as energy stream through the cables?

commented

That is good! Can you also try "Synthetic" for fluix?

commented

I actually don't know Cantonese or Mandarin, but I got "Synthetic" from the fact that you have to unnaturally make the crystals by combining Charged Certus (Try using "Broad" for certus) and redstone to make Fluix.

commented

@mindforger “Reliable crystal” is not very suitable,I think……Do I tell other people the certus is “可信水晶” in Chinese?

commented

"trusted" and reliable have the same basic meaning, so your's is fitting

where do you got the "synthetic" as synonym for fluix kyle? sounds better but does it have a real base?

commented

These are pretty a real name. So there is no real translation for it.

It predates vanilla quartz and was just called quartz. Certus was pretty much added to not have 2 different items with the same name.
Certus is actually based on the latin word "certus". Maybe that helps.

No idea curently about fluix. But also pretty much a name thus lacking a translation.
