EDIT Ok so based on your answers (thanks a lot for your help), the final order of chinese characters is not correct in steam achievements.
Let's just drop this, i'll translate each character one by one or write pinyin next to each character in steam french achievements.

Sorry for disturb and thanks a lot again !

Hello, please could a Chinese (or anyone who understand chinese) break down this sentence in different parts and give me litteral translation ?

初学者吉胖那你略很棒哦个商人能打的都超没有手动级滑稽稳美酷滋图森破炫欢迎光就好友已满是新年快乐我恭喜发财老司机

If you're curious, i'm trying to help a little dev to translate (free) a game from english to french.
But it's a chinese game. So it seems this dev had fun and did 50 steam achievements for 50 chinese characters.
But translate chinese characters one by one doesn't make sense. So if i could understand this sentence i suppose it would be better.

These are the 50 chinese characters of steam achievements one after the other.

No, chinese translator (from chinese to english) choose to translate each character one by one to english.

I just probably imagined in my head that it could be a sentence then sorry. :d

If it has no meaning, i will just do the same he did, and translate each character one by one to french (in fact i already did that but i was not very satisfied with the result).

Oh ! And thanks a lot for your answer and your help !

I assume you tried google first? "Beginners Fat Kat slightly Oh great that you can play a businessman without a manual level are super funny cool Zitu Sen breaking stable US-hyun welcome light on Happy New Year my friends is full Gong Xi Fa Cai old driver" I know its brutal but it's a start.

Try reddit....

Yes it's the first thing i tried but the result was hardly understandable. :d

In fact if you're curious, the chinese translator to english choose to translate each character one by one for steam achievements.
If i've no other solution, i'll do the same.

Err, Chinese is my mother tongue, but this sentence is way too random... Here is the best I could do

初学者吉胖那你略很棒哦

newbie 'JiPangNa' you are pretty good OR That newbie 'JiPangNaNiLue' is good

个商人能打的都超没有

That businessman can't even fight back

手动级滑稽

manual level ridiculous

稳美酷滋图森破炫
This is just random typing for sure, this 8 letters can't combine into any word in Chinese.
Word by word literal translation will be

stable beauty cool Zee picture forest break awesome

欢迎光

an incomplete 'welcome', 欢迎光临 is the complete version

就好友已满

well, friend list is full

是新年快乐

is Happy New Year

恭喜发财

May you have a prosperous New Year! (a kind of New Year's greeting)

老司机

old driver
*In Chinese forum, this word also refer to someone whit excessive amount of porn knowledge.

Thank you very much for all this work and your time.
Euh... i see now why each character is translated one by one in english. XD
I'll just do the same in french and try to forget this.

Maybe the number before the achievements is not correct. Maybe it was another number at first, and chinese characters are now in random order. It would explain why you got some parts of sentences : 恭喜发财 I don't know why but i supposed that the dev wanted to make a chinese sentence with all the chinese achievements.

One game called Zup has done this before, one of its selling point is the fact that players can from "Gabe please give my money back" in achievement showcase( ͝° ͜ʖ͡°)

Oh i didn't know, thanks for info. Yes i thought it could be something similar and funny.
I was curious myself about this chinese sentence because i wanted to know what would be this funny sentence. (^-^)

It's not great but i think now to just write for example :
"NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_5_12_NAME" "新 Xin New"

It is actually very nice to have that format, sadly the problem is Chinese itself is a rather confusing language which character combination makes all the different.
e.g. 新鮮 means fresh, yet the character 鮮 alone can also treat as fresh
新聞 means news, but the character 聞 only means heard
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Actually the chinese translator choose this way to english :

"NEW_ACHIEVEMENT_5_12_NAME" "New"

without chinese character
without pinyin

i think he tried to do at least worst too.

I would feel ashamed if it was a professional translation. But i'm not a pro and do it for free.
So i'm just half ashamed lol. (>_・ )

那個遊戲的成就( Legend of Merchant )裡,每個字都是獨立的,所以可以依照玩家組合成各種意思。硬要翻譯的話就會缺少了組合的樂趣,因為中文的主語、謂語、賓語和外文的句型變化不盡相似…所以大概也只能一個字一個字翻譯,囧

Each character has its meaning, and can be combined to generate another meaning.
Simply translate to other language would lose the funny part.

You should not translate each single Chinese Characters. Many of the characters need to combine with others to make sense.

i know but i've to translate achievements one by one.
There is 1 achievement = 1 character.

So if i don't have the meaning of sentence, i'm forced to do that even if it's bad.
That what the chinese-english translator did in english, he translated each character with one english word, probably because he was blocked too.

Why not try to use pronunciation to translate.

It's an attractive idea to use homophone in both languages but there are the chinese characters on the left column of steam achievements so i don't feel well to just decompose a random french sentence in multiple random words.

I was impressed by its achievements before, so I can easily figure out the game you're talking about. By the way, I can see only 老 in the achievement list, where does 老司机 come from? LoL

Got it, I was looking at those icons. The meaning of 老司机 here should be more like "expert", not someone knows porn very well.

Thank you, i'll keep your translation, "expert" is a beautiful word.
Achievements were the last part of the translation, that's far from perfect but it's finished now.

But it would have been funny... 50 ! Congratulations you completed 50 games, you're a porn expert.

Actually, it has been funny because its metaphor in Chinese (the professional driver).
If you just indicate the porn meaning, it would be not that funny. (or much fun after translation? I don't know, lol)
