Internationalization

[Superfox]

Hello,
I use Civ4 in Italian and so I would know if it's possible to use the mods and scenarios, here posted, in english, with my game.
This, becouse, in Civ3 the references at the items were different from languange to language.

And the second thing, where (in which files) have I to translate the various sentences in my language.

Bye
- Superfox

p.s. I'm sorry for my bad english.

The text files are in the folder assets\xml\text

There are the pedia and game text files. most stuff like names of units, buildings, resources,.. is in the ~objects.xml file

but some modders put new text and pedia in different file (which is often a pratical way ). Anyway, you will find the files in this folder

just open them, it's really self-explaining

The background references are always the same, hence most of the mods should be compatible with any language version. Most mods have not been translated though. In the worst case, you get something like TXT_KEY_UNITCLASS_SUBMARINE instead of the English name. In that case, just contact the modder who then will (should) make his mod compatible.

Chamaedrys has already pointed out where to edit the text files in case you want to translate some of them.

Some modders are quite lazy and don't properly use TXT_KEY tags. This makes it alot harder for translators - you have to find the place whree the tag should be and use that to either create a tag, or just put your language in.
