This time I got it, thanks Meanwhile, I really doubt on "Ryk" for "Empire"
In English, it obviously rhymes with "vampire" and doesn't mean richness in any way, but more like a monster enslaving others. The game's "Blacktooth Empire" is about that meaning too. I propose "Diktatuur" or "Tirannie" there |

I just use an Ai to see if it will give me a other word but this is what is
gives
The translation for “Blacktooth Empire” in Afrikaans is "*Blacktooth-ryk*"
<http://www.bing.com/translator/?ref=TThis&text=Blacktooth+Empire&from=en&to=af>
Please note that “Blacktooth” is a specific name and might not have a
direct translation in Afrikaans, so it’s kept as it is. The word “Empire”
is translated as “ryk”. If “Blacktooth” has a specific meaning in your
context, you might need to translate that meaning into Afrikaans. I hope
this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. 😊

okay, let it be "ryk," it's actually shown on a planets screen and can mean not only a tyranny but a set of enslaved planets, so it can be thought as "richness" in that way |

M is for pause, and that text is shown when you already typed M (or whatever key you chose for pause) |

I wish to say about “touching space” It is actually a play on words. “Space” (in english at least, and “Espace” en français) means not only the key on a keyboard, but implies other meanings as well. You say “gimme some space” when you ask for more unoccupied (free) space around you. The interplanetary and interstellar medium is also called Space. In mathematics and physics, space is everywhere, there are unified space-time theories as well... Therefore “touching space” cannot be translated as “pushing the space key”— such will lose the charm of the game of meanings |
