some parts of the german versions sound kinda awkward

How so? As in they are incorrect? Informal? Would you mind explaining how they sound 'awkward'?

They sound more or less "off", they are pretty correct, but to not really fit the game itself :c

[TehLTBond]

Is a portuguese (from Portugal) also needed? Because I'd be willing to make that translation.

For instance "Sie wurden in Benzin getränkt!" I'd prefer to use the phrase "Sie wurden mit Benzin übergossen!'
Maybe that's just me!

I may translate the game in Italian if it is needed.

So.... you guys got $114,197 from players to add more languages to the game

and now you're asking the players to do it themselves?

....... uh so what are you using the money for?

So you run kickstarters with a specific purpose just to pay yourselves?

I'm sorry, and this isn't meant to be rude in any way, but what part of that post didn't you understand? As quoted directly from the post;

• Our Rackspace bill is over $10,000 a month.
• We also employ 5 programmers (including Blake and myself) a CM (Brandon) an artist and have a contract artist and contract sound engineer.
• veryone at the company is underpaid
• we offer no benefits
• Steam and PayPal take a decent chunk of all purchases made.

Pretty sure all that is pretty clear, and not just the company trying to pay their employees.

When I go on these pages this happens
Gui_English.xml,Game_English.xml,PlayerStatistics_English.xml

It's because the English pages are live versions. You use these to translate to other languages.

[Blagar]

I can do the whole translation to Polish, but I'm not sure if that's the good way to go... people won't know what a TI is or what is a role called in english.

Unless you want to get more separate servers from people in different countries, but that's not good to game's health either.

I can also help, though he is right about shorts for roles... But i think we could make it look something like this: ROLENAME (Short name of role in englis) e.g. Ojciec Chrzestny (GF)... I think that`s the best way out.

Ok thanks

[Chinotamulis1]

Literally has nothing to do with translating the game. Please take such posts elsewhere, thanks.

Can there please be an additional south ameican/latino spanish version? Spain Spanish uses a lot of words that none of the other spanish speaking places use, which can cause confusion.

hi

Hey mods I posted this a bunch of times by now and 3 of you have posted after it.

Because I have nothing to comment on it at this time? When I have something I'll let you know, however Blake did tell me to have whoever did the Latino Spanish translation to change it into the Spain Spanish. If he says anything I'll let you know, otherwise it's sticking to just Spain.

Yeah, I don't know why the Spain version is being used, there are much more people that speak Latino Spanish than Spain Spanish, compare the population of Latin America to the population of Spain. The only reason to have a Spani version rather than Latino version is that the players are mostly from Spain rather than from Latin America.

I would like to add as a native spanish speaker, like some people have said, that considering that the latino community is way bigger than the spanish one, using Spain's Spanish isn't... uhh the best way?? It's literally the most different spanish from all it's variations, and it can get tricky to understand sometimes. The best call in my opinion would be either making a Latino and a Spanish version, or just using the most neutral spanish, which translators will understand what I mean by this.
Also, talking about formal terms, in spanish we have two ways of saying you, one is "usted" and another is "tu/vos", the first one is the formal one, but I personally believe it's too formal for a game like this? I mean, you usually talk to elders with that modism.

Again, it's just an opinion. I hope Spanish people don't get offended by what I've said, it's just that our communities have developed the language too differently in each case and it can get tricky for others to understand. I'm from Argentina, but I wouldn't recommend using Argentinian Spanish for a place meant for every hispanic player, since they wont understand half of the things said lol.

[MisuNeko]

Gonna help with the French translation. As rude as it may sound, some of these are just badly translated.

[welington]

I finished the entire brazilian portuguese translation.

[TheWabbit]

I'll just wait here, if ever a need for a Filipino translation rises up.

EDIT: Now starting on the translation.

[PolishSnake]

I've started to continue someone's start on Polish GUI and hopefully I'll be able to do all 3, however I ask that someone will check all three and the ones that I have "PLEASE CHECK THIS LINE" in bold and italic since I am especially anxious about those lines.

Thank you

[Nevillazz]

Just finished translating into Russian, hope you guys enjoy

After I've scanned the entire GUI text I am very sorry to say that I've barely began and will not be able to progress until Thursday afternoon (England) because of school reasons. However I should start 2nd in Friday.

What about just making servers for the 4 main languages (French, English, Spanish and Chinese)

That's make it easier, then you'd be able to add in the other languages (German, Scandanavian, etc.)
