Need help with French translations

[jkp1187]

Hello, all. I am in need of some help translating text from English to French for my random events mod. I tried using Babel Fish, but I've been advised by several people that those translations just aren't any good.

If someone could please help me out on this, I would appreciate it!

Thanks.

Send them to me by PM. I'll make my best to help you.

Or send it public in this channel, I'll try to translate them. And If I made errors, others peoples will point them out.

Thank you so much!

This first file is the most important, it's just a pedia file with some new entries for the mod. This MUST be properly translated.

http://files.filefront.com/Textxml/;9774167;/fileinfo.html

The second file is longer and has text for some new random events that I created:

http://files.filefront.com/Big+text+filexml/;9774196;/fileinfo.html

These files are both in XML format; you can use any text editor to look at them (I prefer Notepad++ -- which is free online -- myself). All five languages are included, so it is smaller than it appears at first glance.

They all are in the same format:

Tag
English
French
German
Italian
Spanish

Again, thanks so much. If you can't get through everything, just upload the file to this thread and let me know the name of the tag where you finished up.

One of the files.

Thank you. Will anyone be able to pick this up from here?

When going through the larger file, please make sure that the Next War-specific events (the ones toward the end of the file that have "_NW" at the end -- SLIP_AND_FALL, SENSORS, and THE_CYLONS) are done. It also would be nice to make sure that ALTERNATIVE_ENERGY, FIAT_MONEY, and MORE_FIAT_MONEY are also finished.

Finally, if there's time, I'd like to be able to get the Barbarian events, too:

THE_BUCCANEERS
BLACKBEARD
PIRATES_OF_THE_NEUTRAL_ZONES
MALACCAN_PIRATES
HENRY_MORGAN
STEDE_BONNET
THE_CORSAIRS
ILLYRIAN_PIRATES
MAHDI_ARMY
THE_TALIBAN

Since I copied & pasted a lot of text from the original Civ4 events text, these last hopefully won't be that difficult.

Also, I need to have as much done possible by Wednesday night.


Thanks in advance. Again, please ask if you have any questions.

Anyone? Anyone...? (Is this thing on?)

[CrONoS]

yeah I'll take the time to do the last files, but not today.

Thank you again, sir!
