I see what you did with that alien language..

@Flayra - Putting your own name in the language, twice.

Ok, so I have spent some time looking at this, and as best I can tell, the language is based around Scandinavian languages, ie Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, Danish etc.

I don't speak any of those languages, but I thought it might be fun to break down all the words and try to make some sense of the message. Of course I failed miserably, but I would like to post what I have done so far, so we can see if there really is intelligible language in the Alien language.

Karflaget gertrupop flayra. Troflagot e aitrart. Trankeboop. Askrinol forlaget yarma aquit e flyra e airtrart escimay.

I decided to break it down a bit and try to create legible sentences. Note, that some of the translated words have alternative meanings, which may provide a better fit to the sentence. The legible sentence bit didn't work too well, but there are some interesting constructions of semi-meaningful sentences that I can create.

I'll break it down section by section, and then throw it together at the end. If anyone of course can provide some better linguistic ideas, I would be most grateful.

Note, many of these words I've used do not come from Scandinavian languages

Karflaget gertrupop flayra.

Karf laget ger trup op flayra.
Cart created gives body on flayra.

Kar flaget ger trup op flayra.
Which flag gives body on flayra.

Note, body here (trup) is Romanian and has subtle variations in meaning.

Troflagot e aitrart.

Tro flago te ait rart.
Believe flag too relating to strange.

Trof flagot (e) ait rart.
Exceeded disconnected concerning strange.

ait - means relative to, relating to, concerning etc.

Trankeboop.

Tra nke boop.
Between of boop.

Tra (n) kebo op.
Between cable on.

Trank eboop.
Drank eboop.

Note, nke is Swahili so doesn't really count as a Scandinavian language :P

This last bit has had some very interesting translations...

Askrinol forlaget yarma aquit e flyra e airtrart escimay.

Ask rin o(l) forlaget ya rma aquit fly ra ait rart es ci may.
Ask also the publisher the research here fly out relating to strange is there may.

Askri nol forlaget yarma aqu it fly ra ai tra (rt) es ci may.
Daily nothing publisher split here it fly out to between is us may.

So, my current vote for meaning of the alien log update is:

Which flag gives body on flayra. Believe flag too relating to strange. Between cable on. Ask also the publisher the research here fly out concerning strange is there may.

Which, by the way makes absolutely no sense, apart from almost sense at the end, but has managed to successfully keep me occupied for an hour and a half.

@Flayra we demand explanations

I think I understand what the message is about.
I believe it's a message from an alien who had found a flag that was not made by its species, referring to it as strange. He had found it on the island that you had crashlanded on, which is the same planet where their research on the strange virus is taking place. The alien decided to report it to their superiors or maybe the head of the research facility, who probably resides on another planet where most of the important research was being carried out. If this is true, and they had been able to get their superior to fly out to that planet, then there is a chance that the ship had met its demise to the Precursor, much like that of the fate of the Sunbeam.

It's just a theory though.

As a dane from Scandinavia, I can say that, at least to me, that makes zero sense.
