This is a project with the end aim of completely translating the Dawn of Civilization Mod (Base Version). (to as many languages as we can )
But since I only speak English I will need volunteers to do the actual translation. To start I will need to know how many people are willing to help (if any). If you wish to help please answer the following questions in a post.
1. What language you can translate.
2. How you wish to receive and return the files.
3. Whether you want to translate from my hopefully improved English version or from the Original.
If enough people are willing to help here are goals and instructions.

Translate the tags used when playing the game into other languages. This is so that the game is playable in those languages.
Translate the helpful Civilopedia texts such as how the UN and Apostolic Palace Works.
Translate the other pointless Civilopedia texts if people are willing.

How to open the texts:
Spoiler :
1.
Now you have 2 Notepad++ instances with all original files and all the files to be translated. All Text tags in other languages that aren't in the Dawn of civilization text files can then be transferred from the original copies.
Download Notepad++
2.Select all Files in the folder (depends how you want to receive the files) and select "Edit in Notepad++"
3.Select any file open in Notepad++, right click and press "open in new instance"
4.Click the small x beside the file you just opened so that the new notepad++ instance is blank
5.Go to "Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Beyond the Sword/Assets/XML/Text"
and select all files in the folder, right click and select "Edit in Notepad++"
6.and select all files in the folder, right click and select "Edit in Notepad++"
Repeat with "Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Warlords/Assets/XML/Text" and "Sid Meier's Civilization IV Beyond the Sword/Assets/XML/Text".

Translating Rules:
Spoiler :
Strategy and normal tags should be translated Sentence by Sentence.
Pedia Tags can be translated anyway you want. e.g. either by Sentences or by copy pasting Wikipedia.
All texts should use AD and BC (or language equivalent) because that is what is used in game.
When Copying Wikipedia remember to remove [1], [2], [3] etc.
Leaders Texts should go:
[h'1](in capitals, no apostrophe)Leader Name[/h'1][newline](in capitals)
[bold](in capitals)Title[/bold][newline]
[bold]Lived:[/bold] xxxx - xxxx BC/AD or xth century BC/AD (no exact dates)[paragraph:2](in capitals)
[bold]Background:[/bold][paragraph:1]
Text
Spacing rules:
All Pedia tags must have a [tab'](in capitals, no apostrophe) before the actual text.
Technologies, Civics, Regions, Civilizations and Leaders should use [paragraph:2](in capitals).
Units, Buildings, National Wonders, World Wonders, Corporations, Resources and Projects should use [paragraph:1](in capitals).
