Re: Languages

There are no translations, the game is still alpha and no translations will be until a good translation system has been found or developed, and that doesn't seem to be too soon.

It's not even sure that there will be translations.

Re: Languages

I have just seen the source code and seems to be an easy task, but I need to know if you (the dev team) are interested in several languages.

Thanks!

p.s. I just looked in gc_menu.cpp, where it seems to be *almost*all the info we need to translate

just we need the help from matricks, as he can modify the text with variables that can be gathered from a language file smile

Re: Languages

Also always public what-we-want-to-do chat IMHO greatly overlooks problems.

Should just the client internal messages be translated.
Or also the messages the server send to the client?
Should servers have one language, say you pick all messages to be say german, or japanese or be international that is have all messages translated to the client?
How will this affect chat?
Hmmm....

Re: Languages

To be serious: learn English, you need it!

Re: Languages

The message is: close this thread - we do not need another language (yet).
Every child nowadays learns English as a foreign language. In Europe even in the kindergarden. Therefore the developers should concentrate on much more important stuff (e.g. v0.5).

It is good so new people can play... I know that many ppl know english, but it is not a bad idea to have multiple languages, because it is sooo simple to make it, probably 5-10 minutes to make a patch

Have you seen all the German childs on the server? They talk German. They do not care 'bout other mother-tongue speakers. A language patch would imho encourage the ppl to speak their mother tongue and NOT English (eller svenska ^^)

Ugh... why should they even speak english INGAME if they don't want to or are talking to some friend? It's not like the forum rules are valid for the game itself. tongue

If they are asking for something and nobody on the server understand what they want, who cares? Also this doesn't only happen with german people (_people_, not "childs" tongue), there are enough other languages spoken on servers. So please stop this anti german language campaign, it's just plain STUPID (except for the forums).
