This is a summary of the translation progress to both keep you and myself updated on what is going on.
Goals:
The first two or three things should be done by this weekend (Sunday 2009-06-28), I hope. Translating everything that is still missing will take a lot more time, and I probably have to make a simple tool that will find all the untranslated or unchanged strings so that I don't have to go through line by line when trying to cover the 100% translated goal.
Update on 2009-06-28
The Finnish language is now working perfectly fine! I can play a game with it, I can start a game with it, all the strings that work in the English version work in the Finnish version etc.
The download is attached below for those who want to test the translation at this point. It must be extracted to C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Mods\LoR\Assets\XML make sure you backup or rename the old Text folder before extracting!
Goals:
- DONE! Edit all files in LoR\Assets\XML\Text to include Finnish tags
- DONE! Include existing Finnish translations
- DONE! Make a test run to see whether the modifications work or not
- DONE! Figure out how to make all the strings work in the game
- Translate all the remaining untranslated strings (go for 100% translated)
- Quality control: play and check for typos, incorrect or confusing translations etc.
