PROJECT: The Translation Center

[Tamerlin]

As I posted it in the Playtest thread I think I can provide you rather quickly a French translation of the updated original Great Library if you can tell me what are the modified entries.

[Tamerlin]

Hi Martin,

Adapting the unit Updater2 so that it can be used with the playtest versions reminded me there isn't a German translation of this mod.

If you have the time to make one I will be glad to include it in the Updater2 files I will post as soon as I have tested the mod with the latest playtest version.

Thanks Martin, German Updater2_str.txt file now created...

Note these strings are the same as those of the APOL Updater2, if you want to use them with the SAP2 just copy these strings into the APOL_main_str.txt located in your language folder.

Some corrections Martin:

Dont' really like this one, why not just:

NoMoreGoldM "Herr, die Goldreserven sind erschöpft."

[Martin Gühmann]

Gilgamensch once I want to give it some flaviour you remove it again. What do you dislike of Reichsgoldreserven, of the gold reserves of the empire?

-Martin

[Gilgamensch]

Martin,

it isn't to remove some flavour but:

When you are a not longer Monarchy/Dictator and similar, you don't refer to yourself as Reich anymore. If you are a Democ./Rep/whatever you change to something else.

If we can implement this I don't have any issue with it. But otherwise it would sound a bit funny.

Similar if you would leave all the time like this:

Herrscher, unsere Reichsgoldreserven sind erschöpft. That would be even more funny when under democracy.

I just wanted to make it a bit more neutral, nothing else

[Gilgamensch]

Martin,

Yes thats for the government, but can we have this similar for the gold?

Like if Monarchy, Tyranny and similar using Reich for the Gold.
Democ. and similar maybe using: Bundesgoldreserven. (or similar)

Is it possible?

[Gilgamensch]

And Martin, I agree with your sugestion of more flavour.

possible like this?

CURRENCY_ANARCHY_CHANGE_TO "gehortetes Gold"
CURRENCY_TYRANNY_CHANGE_TO "Reichsgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_MONARCHY_CHANGE_TO "Reichsgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_THEOCRACY_CHANGE_TO "Absolutionsgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_COMMUNISM_CHANGE_TO "Allgemeingutgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_FASCISM_CHANGE_TO "Reichsgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_REPUBLIC_CHANGE_TO "Bundesgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_DEMOCRACY_CHANGE_TO "Bundesgoldreserven"
CURRENCY_CORPORATE_REPUBLIC_CHANGE_TO "Hansegoldreserven"
CURRENCY_ECOTOPIA_CHANGE_TO "Ökoreperationsreservern"
CURRENCY_TECHNOCRACY_CHANGE_TO ""
CURRENCY_VIRTUAL_DEMOCRACY_CHANGE_TO ""

And for the last two once no idea in the moment

[Martin Gühmann]

I think for communism "Volksgoldreserven" is better as you can find it in "Volkseigentum", for Virtual Democracy we have "Egoldreserven", maybe also for Technocracy. Then we just need to figure out how they made CTP2 use the government specific strings and of course an translation to English, French, Italian and Spain.

I can provide the French strings, whether the original French ones or a translation of my own.

[drulius]

A small suggestion for the English, if it is found to be needed. I only know some context from:

NoMoreGoldM "Herr, die Goldreserven sind erschöpft."

and

NoMoreGoldM "Sire, I regret to inform you that the treasury is bare."

I'm guessing the German means, "Sir, the gold reserves are exhausted." I took some liberties with the added color, I hope it's not too liberally applied.

CURRENCY_ANARCHY_CHANGE_TO "Treasure Chest"
CURRENCY_TYRANNY_CHANGE_TO "Treasure Room"
CURRENCY_MONARCHY_CHANGE_TO "Royal Treasury"
CURRENCY_THEOCRACY_CHANGE_TO "Lord's Coffer"
CURRENCY_COMMUNISM_CHANGE_TO "Worker's Surplus"
CURRENCY_FASCISM_CHANGE_TO "Party's Vault"
CURRENCY_REPUBLIC_CHANGE_TO "People's Bank"
CURRENCY_DEMOCRACY_CHANGE_TO "Federal Reserve"
CURRENCY_CORPORATE_REPUBLIC_CHANGE_TO "People's Reserve and Trust"
CURRENCY_ECOTOPIA_CHANGE_TO "Golden Bosom of Gaia"
CURRENCY_TECHNOCRACY_CHANGE_TO "Liquid Capital Accumulator"
CURRENCY_VIRTUAL_DEMOCRACY_CHANGE_TO "Virtual Capital Accumulator"

But is CURRENCY_ the right prefix? Shouldn't it be TREASURY_?

I am afraid your quotes are a bit too liberal, at least for me, but they are fun anyway.

I don't think we should depart from the word gold or treasury because the first is a game term and because the second one is perhaps the only one that will be associated with gold or money by everybody.

IMO we have much more freedom with the titles given to the player according to the current government:

Examples:

- "Prime Secretary" (of the party), "Father of the People" or "Enlightened Guide" would be appropriate for Communism.

- "General Coordinator" could apply to the Corporate Republic

- "Great Lemur" or "Gaia's messenger" would be OK for an Ecotopia.

OK agreed Volksgoldreserven sounds better

The first part I think will be the biggest problem
