New Translations needed
« on: February 19, 2009, 01:28:42 am »

We are getting ready to release the 3.1 patch but we need a little help translating the new language files. I added them to the wiki as it will make editing them easier.

English Base: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Gesource_english
French: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Gesource_french
German: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Gesource_german
Spanish: http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Gesource_spanish

There are two new sections down the bottom that need to be translated. Ill pull them of the wiki before the release. Thanks for your help!

Thanks X-tra.

The new release build scripts downloads the translations from the wiki so we will include the newest ones in every release. If a translation is not up there that you can do, please copy the english one, make a new page in the wiki for your translation (for example make a new page called gesource_[language]) and post in this thread so i can tell the release script to include it.

"Geheimer Agent, Mann" "Geheimagent, mann"
"Du solltest geehrt sein" "Du solltest geehrt werden"
"Warum kannst du nicht einfach sterben?" "Warum stirbst du nicht?"
...make sure"   "you make the most of it!"
...da sei dir mal sicher"   "Du hast das Beste draus gemacht!"
Exact translation:
"...sorge dafür, dass du das Beste daraus machst!"
or (short and simple)
"mach das Beste draus!"

There are some more things which could be translated a different way or are even wrong.
I also changed some of the award names, so they won't be cut off anymore.
Now I'm working on the new 3.1 text and post it as soon as it's finished.
Ok, finished and uploaded to the Wiki.
Any mistakes and suggestions are aprechiated (Cy?).

One thing i noticed in the English translation:
Quote
      "GES_GP_MWGG_TITLE"      "Man With The Golden Gun Help"
      "GES_GP_MWGG_H1"      "The Golden Gun emphasize pistol marksman and the fact that only one"
      "GES_GP_MWGG_H2"      "Only one player can have the gun at a time. Either acquired by"
      "GES_GP_MWGG_H3"      "All weapons are one hit kill, so be frantic and kill or be killed"
      "GES_GP_MWGG_H4"      "picking it up or kill the player who has it."

Seems to be a leftover from the LtK text.

Well thats why its on the wiki, feel free to edit it and fix errors. The build script will update all of them from the wiki at release time.

Kraid that was a bug and as such all the translations need to be fixed up for mwgg

Dutch
http://wiki.goldeneyesource.net/index.php/Gesource_dutch

I thought i'd leave some sentences and words 'as it is' because it would sound horrible in Dutch and wouldn't make any sense.

Added and changed some stuff to the german translation - undo if unwanted.
I thought it would be right to translate some weapons (except for the golden gun, which would be der goldene Colt) and changed some awards (even though the names seem a little long now).
Capitalized some words to be closer to the original and changed AC-10 (Armor Class -10) to RK-10 (Rüstungsklasse -10), the SharpSh00tah-achievement finally got changed to ScharfschÜÜtzeh (if you really would translate that one, I guess it's besser you'd let it be "SharpSh00tah" because it's named after a Dev).

Should game modes also be translated?
