Originally posted by PainoMan: Velour, where has AL3 been mentioned before the DVD commentaries, and more importantly, WHAT did they say about it? ok. This is hard for me because... i'm really david x cohen! (j/k :wink wink Honestly, it is hard enough for me to remember all the useless facts that I do. I have a really hard time remembering where I read them. I would say either an article where they mentioned that there were other AL that wouldnt be seen till later in the series. And there was a lot of talk about ALs on the old Futurama Outlet boards. I've been reading Futurama websites and stuff for about a year now so it's hard to remember each little bit of rumor or fact and where I heard it. I would suggest that you go back though old articles, though, if you really wanted to know. sorry I couldn't be more helpful guys. but i swear i'm not making this up xoxox

The glyphs on Leela's Bracelet look something like the stuff Ancient Egyptians used to write.
Anyhoo, let's wait and see if anymore of this language rolls up in due course (FOX permitting that is).

I have long suspected that that shot from M3S was another, 3rd language, but I'm not sure. If they had it for so long, why hasn't it shown up? Also, the # of characters is less. It is probably random. As for the bracelet... if I had to guess right now, I'd think that it is Leela's initials. It makes sence, its 3 characters, and it would hold sentimental value to her parents. Since it is "harder to crack" it stands to reason that it would be a direct translation as with AL1 (my personal favourite) and may be a similar math-related translation as was AL2 which I still don't think has been 100% cracked, since some characters are missing (unless I'm behind the times).
Therefore, I think AL3 will probably end up as: a) containing more than 26 characters, using new characters to replace things like TH or GH or CH OR b) Make the translation more complex by making you do something weird like start translating from the end and work your way to the beginning.
These are only guesses. I haven't got Leela's Homeworld in a digital copy yet, so I can't make my own pics. I might make some kinda disscussion thing on my site. We'll see.

I see people've given up on al3 ever since 2005...unless there's a thread I haven't seen or something, well this last pic's obviously not al1 or 2 but they might just have stuffed random symbols in there...although that's not really likely of them, I think the easiest way to decode this language is through that pic since we have context ( it should have something to do with Leela ) and we have a relatively large amount of text ( at least it's more then the rest of data we have ) or this one http://www.futurama-madhouse.com.ar/alien/2acv09/sign3_h.jpg although the image is rather blurry so unless someone can get another clearer shot of it we might not be so lucky, also if anyone says that they didn't talk about al3 in the commentaries or that it wasn't confirmed that might be to not give us any hope and see how long it goes uncracked, plus they're making new episodes rather soon so I think we should be prepared for anything they might send us, imma see what i can make of this pic when I get more free time...well then, all i need to do now is find the relevant 6-letter ( hopefully english ) words that could fit in that upper right spot, hmm...mutant...maybe...damn.. .that's all i can come up with in 5 minutes....better check some sort of online dictionary ><

Yeah , I'll try that, I found a site with (probably) all the 6 letter words in english, if anyone wants to help finding a list of words that could fit in there go to http://www.esclub.gr/games/wordox/6.html actually that can't take less then a month for me to do on my own and that's for just one word...by the way does anyone know how they got to decipher al2 ? And for some reason I can't help but see the letters "abc" on Leela's bracelet, they just seem slightly deformed. EDIT : Umm..there's a problem with the al3 theory...at least for this pic http://www.futurama-madhouse.com.ar/alien/3acv02/sign3_h.jpg seems there only are 9 different characters and only one (the triangle) recurrs in the other pic, I also noticed that there were some recurring characters in http://www.futurama-madhouse.com.ar/alien/2acv09/sign3_h.jpg this might mean that it's like AL1, the "x" might be replacing a vowel or something...I'm starting to think there really is no sense to this though, well at least it got me occupied for a few hours
