As far as many people around are asking about translation of the big mods I think it's time to make them multilingual finally.

To make a translation to another language it's necessary to download the corresponding package, to translate every single string in every .TRA file (strictly preserving strings numbers like @1 and filenames) and to post the result somewhere, so I'd be able to get it and incorporate into the mod.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently available packages :

TS-BP v6.10: ----------> TS-BP-Trans.rar
SoS-WeiDU v1.12: ------> SoS-Trans.rar
TDD-WeiDU v1.12: ------> TDD-Trans.rar
CtB v1.9: -------------> CtB-Trans.rar
BP (last): ------------> (look inside downloaded package)
RoT v2.1: -------------> RoT-Trans.rar

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete translations :

TS-BP v6.10: ----------> [RUSSIAN(aerie-ru.info team), SPANISH(SirLancelot), GERMAN(Leonardo Watson)]
SoS-WeiDU v1.12: ------> [RUSSIAN(aerie-ru.info team), GERMAN(Leonardo Watson), SPANISH(SirLancelot)]
TDD-WeiDU v1.12: ------> [RUSSIAN(aerie-ru.info team), POLISH, GERMAN(Leonardo Watson)]
CtB v1.9: -------------> [RUSSIAN(aerie-ru.info team)]
BP : ------------------> []
RoT v2.1: -------------> [RUSSIAN(aerie-ru.info team), GERMAN(Leonardo Watson)]

They will be included in the next mod versions upon their release. Plz be patient...

Plz, if you are starting to work on some translation, post a note here what language are you working on to synchronize possible multiple efforts.

Здесь русские щрифты для BG2:TOB
Файлы нужно просто распаковать в папку Override.

Downloading CtB for spanish translation. Spanish translation coordinated by RPG-Bardo and Clan REO.

If some spanish translators want to work with us please contact me at januszka@rpg-bardo.com or RIojano2002 at riojano2002@hotmail.com

Later I'll post exact url for subforum of the project and status of the translation project, or at least rpg-bardo's part.

You can add BP-weidu to the list of mods ready to translate; all the files are included in the BP-weidu package.

(Forgot to mention this here, earlier)

[Ashramyr]

The d'Oghmatiques (french team of translators) are working since many months on CTB. It is in progress (permission asked to C. Bisson before it was included in BP)

Hello Horred, hello SirLancelot, hello everybody !
Salut Ashramyr,

Yeah I'm still alive ! About french translations, we're still on BP, SoS and TS. Around 1000 / 8000 strings are translated : we're proofreading these strings and besides, maybe we're going to use the SirLancelot's method to integrate translations on BP.
I made an analysis of strings of TS and SoS with a test in game.

Good luck for CTB, Ashramyr

I'll take over the TDD translation in French, starting from the TLK translation I made. After a talk with Sir Lancelot, I'm confident there is a way to avoid a huge copy-paste task.

Graoumf, j'en ai parlé avec Ashramyr. Je te contacte à ce sujet et au sujet de BP.

Graoumf, j'en ai parlé avec Ashramyr. Je te contacte à ce sujet et au sujet de BP.

Mais cette rapport n'ai pas pour moi, je te comprende.

(Though I may be rusty--haven't used it much in >20 years )

It appears BPv177 will have a few translations. Can't wait to learn all of the Wand of Orcus strings in multiple languages.

[horred the plague]

BPv177 will have a German translation, at least; by Leonardo Watson. Thanks for the hard work, Leonardo!

Perhaps the other translations will be done by the next version.

[Graoumf]

Is there some changes in tra files between BPv177 and BPv176 ?
I can't check its myself because it's impossible to extract the .rar (something's corrupt...)

Edit : Ah it's ok after a new download !

Got it for SoS too... Thanx, Leonardo!

Hello Teutomatos,

French translators for BP are independant from La couronne de cuivre forum. We're working by e-mails and this translation is still in progress. All the strings about Tactics, Ascension and those of the original game have been replaced in .tra files, after a huge proofreading and an adaptation for a female PC.

If you want to help us, you're welcome. Contact me by mp if it's the case .

Hello,

I've got some problems to understand some expressions. Could you explain its to me, please ?
Here they are :

@8 = ~Me ass is grass, mates!~
@9 = ~Casing a sneak, jerky?~
@10 = ~Well,I'll be a monkey's uncle...~
@18 = ~Bootstrap me croney, ye gutter scum?~

@21 = ~Hold still now...~
@4 = ~Blimey! I'm heading for Baldur Jones' Lockbox!~

@3 = ~Hissss--sneaky, for cattle...~ (Bodhi's speaking)



Thanks for the help !

Hello,

I've got some problems to understand some expressions. Could you explain its to me, please ?
Here they are :

@8 = ~Me ass is grass, mates!~ An acknowledment that you aren't going to survive an encounter.
@9 = ~Casing a sneak, jerky?~ Thief is asking another if they are checking out a place they plan on breaking into at a more opportune time.
@10 = ~Well,I'll be a monkey's uncle...~ An expression of surprise about something. The person was really taken unawares.
@18 = ~Bootstrap me croney, ye gutter scum?~

@21 = ~Hold still now...~ Don't fight or struggle, it'll make killing you a lot easier on everyone,,,
@4 = ~Blimey! I'm heading for Baldur Jones' Lockbox!~ Crap!! Our ship is sinking and we're going to drown.

@3 = ~Hissss--sneaky, for cattle...~ (Bodhi's speaking) A sarcastic interpretation of a party's stealth ability. Bodhi is commenting on how a herd of cattle could be quieter.



Thanks for the help !
