Looking for translations for 17 new lines in BGEE-compatible Drizzt Saga version in French, Italian, Polish and Spanish languages.

 

- 4 lines are component names for WEIDU.LOG (try to use only latin symbols for these)

- 4 lines are setup feedback lines (try to use only latin symbols for these)

- 9 lines are dialog and journal entries for a new Delayed Start component (can use any national symbols here)

 

The short TRA file for translation with comments is attached to this post. Please attach the translated version of the same file, rather than simply posting translated text in a response post (I'd rather not worry about losing any special characters while copy-pasting and saving).

Here is a translation in French.

 

Since you mentioned that the mod will become BGEE compatible, I assume it will also target BGT/Tutu. I don't know if you anticipated the need to have a different character encoding for BGEE: BG II uses cp1252 for Western Europe versions, BGEE uses UTF-8. In case you missed it, there is a discussion on that topic on the WeiDU forum, where you can find solutions to apply in the TP2 to handle this case.

 

I prepared two translations files with proper encoding for BGEE (utf8) and BGT/Tutu (cp1252).

 

Cheers.

Added French, thanks.

Correct, there will be one install package for all 3 platforms.

Yes I'm aware of that. I'm prepared to handle the conversions, but having ready-to-use utf8 file for bgee is a great help, thank you.

v3 has been released, but this topic is still actual - Italian, Polish and Spanish translations in v3 are either incomplete (SETUP.TRA lines are in english), or imperfect (I didn't want to remove language options because of just a few new dialog lines, so I substituded Google-Translated text for those).

Here you go: Polish translation

 

**Notes**

 

"Aha, <CHARNAME>! We meet again." (Robin Hood-style exclamation; should be no comma after ex. mark?)

 

woulds't -> wouldst (archaic form of would; should be no apostrophe?)

 

as in: "I wouldst have you join me..."

 

Also, I've commented gender-specific lines. Dunno how to implement that into the code yet.

 

I hope these are fine.

Thank you, will add in next future version, whenever that comes (unless serious bugs are reported that need immediate attention it'll probably be after all other translations come in).

Those quoted lines I pretty much took as is from v2 released by erebusant and Badgert. They looked a bit strange but I figured they were just imitating archaic english (I'm not a native english speaker myself).

Gender-specific lines are ok, you don't need anything else to make them work as WeiDU should understand this just fine:

@10  = ~Aha, <CHARNAME>! Znow sie spotykamy. Wkrotce wyruszam do Doliny Lodowego Wichru. Pragnalbym, abys towarzyszyl mi podczas tej jakze niebezpiecznej wyprawy.~ // MALE
       ~Aha, <CHARNAME>! Znow sie spotykamy. Wkrotce wyruszam do Doliny Lodowego Wichru. Pragnalbym, abys towarzyszyla mi podczas tej jakze niebezpiecznej wyprawy.~ // FEMALE

using the second line for female CHARNAME (as long as DIALOGF.TLK is present and used).
