Safaquel Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just a quick note to say I've now organised the strings.xml alphabetically (in the last release), and will do so in future too. Sorry for screwing up any previous work but it should make things easier in future. Nah, that's cool. Now if only I could actually complete the game...

xracer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Sorry i have been away for a long time, just trying to catch up, so what languages are expected or is it user based? I would love to do the Spanish translations, or at least work with someone on it. Let me know Xracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safaquel Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 In fact if you read all the topics you'll find that German and Russian translations are the most in-demand as of now. Spanish is demanded by some, but the market is not nearly as large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a333 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) By far the most interest we've had is for Russian and German translations. After that, potentially French / Spanish. ...we've had various offers for translations but I've not really committed to any of them yet, barring a Spanish translator that has agreed to work for free for his name on the translated version title screen (so he'll get the first go at translating it to Spanish). We may never see this translator or interact with his work, i think, since those are kind of special circumstances established before creation of this subforum. But you are free to do your own translation, probably it will not be built-in, but nevertheless very easy to share and install.

Chris Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 xracer - I'll probably ask the Spanish translator to create a forum thread etc on here so you'll get a chance to interact with him. No harm in getting the community to help him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxar Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I could help for a french translation (as I proposed moooonths ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gam Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I can do Italian I worked both in the medical and military sector so I should be good for autopsy and weaponry Are these going to be "official" translations? ie, are they then going to be avaialbe on Steam to the wider public?

Chris Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Yes, it's quite possible we'll put the popular translations up on Steam, as I think most people won't be checking the forums for a "translation" mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemm Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 2. Localize the game. That means, if you're German, make the game feel as if it were made by germans. Or at least as if the germans were watching over the designers' shoulders and pointing out how their inferior design should strive to meet the uebermensch standards. It also means you germanify all the names, because you don't really want the game to sound foreign to the players (it kinda defeats the purpose of translation and localization). So, does the lead scientist act like an arrogant prick in all of the other translations, or is this just a British thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safaquel Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 So, does the lead scientist act like an arrogant prick in all of the other translations, or is this just a British thing? He should feel roughly like that mad doctor from Battlestar Galactica -- he is exactly the type, sans schizophrenia and mystic experiences.
