When Group Ibex's translation went live last June, we called it version 1.0 after several months of covertly sharing an ever-updating work in progress. The updates... have not stopped. These new versions have since fixed a few whoopsies, edited stuff for flow and clarity, brought some more names in line with Disco Elysium's spelling, kept certain translation choices consistent and, of course, added footnotes. What is an ibex if not a dozen footnotes with horns on top.

As always, you can catch the latest version over here: https://old.reddit.com/r/DiscoElysium/comments/13e4tle/sacred_and_terrible_air_püha_ja_õudne_lõhn_full/

Abridged errata:

the big mistake is that Maj's age in chapter 1 was accidentally changed from 5 to 4 at an early editing stage. Our sincere apologies. It is now 5 as it should be, and as is listed later on in the book

and in chapter 2, at one point it's not jumpsuit girl who turns to speak to Khan, but rather von Fersen

the place you are most likely to get shot behind is now consistently a waste disposal facility

Yet more spellings brought in line with Disco Elysium include everyone's favourite polar settlement Yelinka and cool guy Baron von Kikkenberg

As per the inside cover lists, the nominative form of Viderundil is in fact Viderunt, not Viderund

ever wondered about those pesky diamat glasses? There is now a comprehensive footnote for that

you may have noticed that Khan is singing a Beatles song, but did you catch that lyrics by famous punk Estonian band Vennaskond were in Tereesz's mind as he thought of Frantiček the Brave? Checked the full context of that suruese rock? There's footnotes for that too

Finnish slang? Soviet Estonian expressions? Foot. notes.
