Merci

Any news since the last update ?

[66492451811f1Kolya]

Not really, but if you're French, feel free to continue this.

Not really, but if you're French, feel free to continue this.

Good idea, even more if compatible with ADaoB, Alya or SecMod

The problem is I don't have any experience in modding

[664924518180cKolya]

You don't need modding experience for this. Just download a good text editor like Notepad++ or PSPad. Then open the files from this mod in the editor, compare with the original files and you'll soon get the hang of it.

[66492451818e0Barbach]

Okay I'll be working on that

[66492451819bfjohnnythewolf]

BTW, I translated a couple of mods for STALKER and I'm also studying english-to-french translation, so if you need any help or advice, just ask.

[6649245181af2Barbach]

Well as far as I have looked, the translation seems complete. Of course I've seen some rare aukward things but I thought that the most interesting would be to continue the translation for big mods.

I mean if some mods add strings, it could be a good idea to make specific mod-compatible versions of the translation.

After I could translate famous FMs too but the main question is "Are there many french shock players ?"

[6649245181bbfKolya]

About 254.

[6649245181c8bjohnnythewolf]

In this case, I think you should translate for fun, not just to be useful.

[6649245181d55Barbach]

Just let me know if ADaoB or another big mod adds strings

[6649245181e21Kolya]

ADaoB and Secmod both change lots of strings. (Secmod includes ADaoB)

[6649245181f0dThiefsieFool]

I don't include any of Adaob's string changes (which are mostly spelling corrections anyway aren't they) but I do have some new items that have completely new strings, whether they're worth translating is up to whomever

[664924518208amiracle.flame]

all translations should be put on top of mods to overwrite just translated parts...
there are also some graphical things to be translated... take some other translations as an example to see which files are to be translated.

Sacre bleu! It's the french log page! Oui, mes amis

https://www.systemshock.org/shocklogs/indexFRA.html

Some stuff is still missing though: most of the cutscenes, the many, logs with xxxxx in the english text, descriptive titles in between.
Since my french is bad and my french is bad (that's what she said), it would be frogging, ehm, friggin awsome, if someone could have  a look and translate the remaining english fragments.

I am sorry to dig up an old topic, but i need to contact the creator of the french beta patch. The rest will be in french sorry.
> Attention de UNN_ATROPOS, NEL MORANE - CHRIS - OUAMDU :
Je viens de télécharger votre patch langue Fr et j'ai l'intention de continuer les 0.9 % restant sur votre formidable travail (complété grâce à celui de Chokboyz et ses fichiers *.fon mis à jour. Voir son message - ne manquait que l'édition du fichier METAFONT.FON pour le menu principal, réalisé par mes soins). Si je déterre ce message c'est pour savoir :
1. Continuez-vous à travailler sur cette traduction ?
2. Verriez-vous un inconvénient à ce que je la propose sur un autre site (RPG français spécialisé dans la traduction de différents jeux) ?
3. Etes-vous opposé à ce que je poursuive votre travail ? Si non, sachez que j'y ai apporté quelques modifications (surtout concernant la longueur de certaines chaines de caractères qui débordaient du cadre de l'interface). Cela pose t-il un problème ?
4. Mon e-mail au besoin : vungoctoan@hotmail.com

En vous remerciant et en espérant une réponse, cordialement.

I had no part in the creation of the translation. I just made the logpage.
The original creator are not registered here I think, and their newest posts on ttlg.com and other pages date back to 2004.
So maybe it's not easy to contact them, but I guess they wouldn't mind if you take their work as a base if you give credit.
It would be most awesome to have some french audio with the texts...

[66492451827eaPrimitive Primate]

Perhaps I should start working on a swedish translation..

[66492451828faTo_an]

Thanks for answering me unn_atrapos. I've fear that furthermore i don't have any e-mail address to contact them. Anyway, i will give proper credits for their works. About french voices, it will be difficult - i prefer good english voiced characters over bad french ones And i am planning to translate HUD graphic elements too

> Primitive Primate, the more language, the more players

[6649245182a2cPrimitive Primate]

From what I've read here on the latest posts it seems quite easy to do so. So who knows, keep your eyes open

[6649245182b1dTo_an]

Quite easy, juste save your work in OEM format, not ANSI nor UTF-8. I will keep both wide open and my ears too

[6649245182bedPrimitive Primate]

Just wondering, does the engine support Å Ä and Ö?

[6649245182d2fZylonBane]

The engine uses a bitmap-based character set, so it can be made to support whatever characters you want.
