skill Explanation: That's how it is said in English. Food has different skill levels, e.g. omelette = 20, steak = 40, etc. Usually you just say such and such requires such and such skill to cook. |

60+ difficulty / difficulty 60 or above Explanation: Whereas Russian uses единицы for grammar purposes, English just combines numbers with nouns without any 'units.' Of course, you may need to refer to 'difficulty points' in some contexts, if absolutely necessary. Complexity may be an alternative term for сложность. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2014-05-17 17:17:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Do you have any more context, by chance? I think this sentence implies that meals have a difficulty level that's different from the player's cooking skill, though obviously related somehow. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2014-05-17 19:45:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Do you have any more context about the cooking skill / meal preparation in the game you're translating? It's just a hunch, but I think meal difficulty may be a separate concept from the player's cooking skill, though obviously somehow related. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2014-05-18 11:11:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oh, sorry for adding the same comment twice! I thought it failed to submit the first time. If there is usually a 1-to-1 correlation between cooking skill and meal difficulty, you could say: Meals requiring over 60 cooking skill cannot be prepared at this time Otherwise, if сложность приготовления IS a separate parameter of every meal in the game and not related 1-to-1 to cooking skill, then you'll need to come up with a term for it. Complexity or difficulty would be your choices. In either case, however, 'points' are superfluous as I explained earlier. |
