v4.2 Translations
Matteobin:
There are a lot of problems with the Italian translation...
Most of them are related to the sentences lenght and to the font dimensions.
Is it possible to do something about it?

What's the lenght issues? Sometimes, we translators have no choice than shorten the lines. The only exception would be the Achievement descriptions, as the size is wrong.

The problem is that Italian is not synthetic as English and sometimes is very difficult to shorten the lines.
Is possible to programm the game to reduce the font dimension if the line isn't displayed correctly?
Anyway I've started shortening lines... but I have a request: Is there a way to test my translation in game?

I can say the same in Spanish, we have to do some tricks to avoid the genre and number mismatch (Check the Spanish version and you should see some colons around).

I think the team has answered those questions a few posts above.

You can test the changes by copypasting the gesource_italian contents (Minus the

). That should do the trick.
Matteobin:
Ok, I've fixed everything except for the achievements.
I've attached a picture where it shows the achievements problem... I have to wait to fix that, right?
I've also attached another picture. In this one, you can see a Gun Game translation problem: would it be possible to translate Level as well?
P.S.
I've attached the translation file too, so you can have the correct Italian localisation without waiting for the next patch to come out.
