New medieval scenario

[BeBMan]

Hello,

My new medieval scenario is nearly finished and I would like to send it to the SLeague for a review.
But it is completely in German. Should I include an English ReadMe.txt or is this not important?

Something in English to let people know what it's about would probably be helpful, though we have quite a few Germans and German-speakers here. Unfortunately I am not one of them

Most people can read German. It's not to hard to translate. But a readme in english would be appreciated by most people.

BeBro: hast du auch an die Sache mit rules.ger und rules.txt gedacht? Ich frage nur, nicht daß die Amis das nicht spielen können weil die rules.txt fehlt und du nur die rules.ger mit drin hast

[BeBMan]

Danke Andz83, ich werde sowohl *.GER als auch *.ENG Files beilegen.

Simply running your readme through Altavista Translation should suffice.

Thank You all, I translated my readme with AltaVista´s help (thanks St Leo). They make some nice errors (e.g. King Otto I. translated into Petrol I. ), but generally it´s ok.
But I´m still have some (stupid?) questions:
1. Somebody told me that, for the English version, the extension .ENG is used (e.g. RULES.ENG), but all English scenarios I´ve seen have only .TXTs, is that right? (As You write, Andz83)
2. This is for the German experts: If I include TXT-Versions, should I replace all German Ä-, Ü-, Ö-things (AE, UE, OE)?

Die Endung ".Eng" gibt es nicht. Die englischen Textdateien enden mit der default-Endung (Txt").

Das mit den Umlauten ist eigentlich egal. Benuzt Du die Umlaute, ist das authentischer und kommt auch recht gut an (genau wie beim spanischen oder französischen).

AltaVista? Warum hast Du nicht einfach irgendwen gefragt, ob er's übersetzen kann? Ich hab' mal EYN's Seite durch AltaVista gejagt, und raus kam irgendein Kauderwelsch!

Danke Stefan, ich hab Altavista genommen, weil ich das Scenario schon diese Woche zum Review an die SLeague schicken wollte und niemandem in so kurzer Zeit noch die Arbeit aufdrücken wollte.
Aber wenn das ein Angebot war...?

I think I'd better learn German. Anyway, how hard could it be?

[Stefan Härtel]

Im Prinzip war das ein Angebot.

The ANZAC: It's not THAT hard. You only have to get familiar with words like "Beinhalten", "Seeungeheuer" and so on...
