Translation in french ???

[Abdul Alhazred]

or other languages ???

Because read in Shakespeare's language is difficult in a too new game for me

It's planned ? One day ?

In 1 year, 1 siecle, 1 thousand years ?

Thank you for your answer !

Hi Abdul, we are planning to internationalize as much as possible. But we have not even begun to actually do it. As for timing, I really can't say. A year or two? It just depends on how the other vital tasks go. I expect French would be one of the first, since Laurent is a long-standing dedicated team member from France.

Salut Abdul!
I answer both in French and English:
Internationalization requires some infrastructure we don't have yet but which is not that hard to get for all the menus, etc. The biggest thing to do will be to track each string, translate each title and, mostly, each scenario text into localised versions. That is not currently a priority.

Traduire demande un peu de code d'infrastructure qu'on n'a pas encore ecrit, mais cela ne prendrait pas trop de temps a faire pour les menus, titres... Le plus dur sera de traquer et traduire chaque chaine de caracteres, en particulier le texte des scenarii. Ce n'est pas une priorite pour le moment car ca prend pas mal de temps. Toutefois, si tu es interesse, je peux traduire les scenarii (Dawn of the Civilizations, le tutoriel, en particulier). Cela ne donnera pas de version traduite a l'interieur du jeu (evenements), mais tous les paneaux dus a des evenements peuvent etre traduits sans trop de peine.

Pas de problème !

Seulement si j'ai Civ 3 en VO, c'est que je n'ai pas attendu, et dieu (+) sait que j'ai bien fait , par contre pour Clash, j'ai rien compris comment on faisait les budgets ou les constructions ! Du coup je l'ai désinstallé

Oui Civ 3 en anglais me gêne pas, mais Clash idem ...

Sinon, y'a pas que Clash, y'a Evolution (quasi mort) et Humanité4 (pas très vivant) --> les deux du côté francophone .

Y'avait bien un certain Civ-Like mais ses programmeurs ont cédé aux sirènes de l'argent


P.S : tu connais Lovecraft ? Nyarlathotep, Dagon, Yog-Sototh, Yuggoth, Azatoth, le Pays des Rêves ...

I was very keen on this from the beginning, and tried to ensure that the infrastructure for internationalization was always there, using the the provisions of the Java language (which I actually used once, for a program that now is being using in Brazil - in Portugese).

I do not think that it is a big deal. I look forward to a Maori version.

I can help...

Cheers

[yellowdaddy]

and a Gaelic version?!

(airson 's gaidhail a tha mi, b'urrain do ma tha fir gun tha fhios a labhairt iad, nach e?!)

[Abdul Alhazred]

Gaelic and Maori are not the first spoken languages in the world

[Gary Thomas]

Nor are English or French. Mandarin rules!

Cheers

Hello, guys !

I'm French too. I work on Humanite4 ( pas très vivant !! ) so I will reply to Abdul Alhazred.

Yes, our website ( humanite.fr.st ) is not very animated. But we are working on our project as much as possible. Humanité is not advanced as Clash ( certainly because we started later and we are only two persons working on ). I'm now trying to write a GUI library ( there are some test programs on the site ) and some other libraries have already been written.

The most important job done is the "texte bilan" : my cousin have thought of an interesting synopsis and we've discussed lots of points of the game.

But, if you want to help us in order to make our website "alive" ( I'm not sure it's good in English, sorry ), you can post your ideas on the forums or mail me. Civ-likes are player dependants !

Thank for your interest and good luck for Clash of Civilizations !

I could do the dutch one, and possibly assist for the French, if Laurent prefers to advance the code.
My exams are nearly finished, I'm just popping in for a moment. Keep up the good work!
