[Community Effort] French, Italian, German and Spanish translation

[hnrysml]

If Knoedel gets to Austriafy the German translation I get to Australiafy the English translation.

Are dialects such a concern in the internationalization of other languages than French? For me, I think it's quite easy to write international French while avoiding the regionalisms of both Quebec and France (at least for something with neutral tone like a game interface).

 

[Leoreth]

I didn't mean it was going to be hard, just something to be aware of, especially if we assemble international teams from various parts of the world.

It's true that it's not an issue in French but, for example, spelling may differ in some other languages' dialects (like English). So I guess it'll be good for consistency.

Hello Leoreth, hello everybody.
I am a native Italian speaker and i would like to contribute to the translation of the mod in Italian.
I don’t have any knowledge in programming or Git stuff but if you send me lines in English i can easily translate them in Italian

 

[Leoreth]

Great!

 

[BasilBerylium]

Due to an inconvenience, I will not be able to participate in the project until further notice.

Not anymore. (for now)

 

[Leoreth]

Okay, see I'm moving so slow that all problems resolve themselves on their own.

 

[Genghis Khaiser]

I'm ready. Where is the text to translate?

 

[Leoreth]

I'd like to properly kick things off some time next week, but if you want to start already you can find texts at Assets/XML/Texts.

 

[HighFunctioningAlcoholic]

I'm not native, so idioms (and hence quotations) might be a struggle (think Archer on Pirate Island), but other than that I'm sure I could contribute to the Spanish translation if the number of contributors was lacking.

I'm an italian speaker too, i already translated (just for my own use , actually) RFCEurope some years ago, i could contribute also here, does it work in the same way? (i mean, with the xml files, etc.)

 

[Leoreth]

Yes, it's exactly the same principle.

 

[ganker14]

Okay. I'll learn git and then start translating some stuff in my free time

 

[Leoreth]

Great. Maybe there will even be someone who can take care of the Git part for you.

I think i can do it by myself actually, mechanics behind it doesn't seem that complicated. I installed the desktop version and downloaded DoC, now i have to perform the changes and then pull the stuff on the website, right?
