Crack the aka nuts: how to edit aka on ulike

October 9th, 2008

Aka means “also know as” and is used to describe aliases, nicknames, working names and any other names that are being used to refer to an item.

You can add aka for every items on ulike, it can also be used to give local names to an item. Here is an example with two characters that we love :  chip ‘n dale and they have the following local aka

Chip'n Dale worldwide aka, alias

In French Tic et Tac

In Spanish Chip y Dale

In Italian Cip and Ciop

In Chinese 奇奇與蒂蒂

In German Ahörnchen und Behörnchen

In Portugese Tico e Teco

You can add your language aka and the Edit of any item club. It will help everyone to find what they like. Your aka will be registered and then validated by the Keepers.

Ps: There is small bug in the post, if you find it you’ll win something in your wishlist ;-D

Oh and which local Chip ‘n Dale aka you like the most ?
