Translations

[531st]

Hey. Recently i've encounter a lot of ppl having to switch to english dow cuz of $000000notext stuff. I think mod needs some translation. And i can do it (at least russian part).

Not like im pro translator here but i did some stuff like that before. CoH blitzkrieg mod translations and some C&C3 mod that i dont remember the name of
Welp, i suppose DoW have the same engine as CoH so there should be a giant .ucs file with tons of strings, if ur interested u can send it to GR75X@yandex.ru or find me in steam or smth

I know nothing about archives and files, but I can speak English and Spanish and have a long experience in 40K boardgame.
If someone sends me a .docx or any kind of list of the English lines, I can translate it into Spanish and would be glad to.

Yup, making stuff multilanguage will raise its popularity. And there are plenty of pplz to help you with that. There are 9 languages i see in steam and this will cover 1/3 for u
If i'll not die during the exams then i could also do updates for upcoming/changing units

And this will allow more useful tips about units than default ones. I like that Elite tips that give u amount of DPS and special qualities of units and upgreades


P.S if what im from Russia so my Russian is slightly less weird than my english

I will gladly translate in Italian if needed... but we are probably just 2 or 3.

You can find the current UCS file in GameAssets/Locale/English (it's called Elite_beta.ucs). Just open it with a text editor like Notepad++.

For the next release it's probably a bad idea to delay release because of waiting translations, so I'd recommend using an editor that can compare and highlight the changes between the English 2.2 and 2.3 strings and updating the new stuff from there.

When you have a translated UCS file just send to me and I'll include it or make an installer.

[Aertes]

Thanks so much, I found it. I'll start working on the Spanish version as soon as I can.

Got it. Welp, it will take 1-7 days depending on how screwed i'll be at university. And im leaving proper nouns be unlike our so called translators.

10000264 Heavily armored melee unit that teleports into close combat. Armed with Nemesis swords (30.77 melee DPS) and storm bolters (7.89 piercing DPS).

Isnt that power melee DPS?

[Aertes]

Those are the Interceptors and no, their swords are melee damage.

I finished the Spanish translation, but I can't send you the file in a PM, it says it doesn't allow .ucs files nor .zip files. Can you send me a private with an e-mail address for me to send it?

[cakeauxcoings]

Is it worth for me to begin to translate it while an update might appear anytime soon?

[Lulgrim]

Might add translations as separate installers anyway

[Aertes]

I surely will have to translate something new. There wasn't any mention to the new GK dreadnought hurricane bolter for example, I hope I dont need to translate the whole file again when the new version is released.

By the way. the Chaos Terminators autocannon's name is Reaper Autocannon, I didn't find any mention to that either, seems like they use the line for IG heavy weapons team or for Havocs, not sure, but I think its worth having its own custom line.

And I'd swear that the radius and damages of the Manticore rockets is inverted. I took the liberty of putting them the way I think is straight

[Lulgrim]

Like I said, use a diff tool to see what has changed in the English version and update those lines only.

[Aertes]

Sweet, it will be useful. Thank you.

I've been checking my translation and I found a couple fo strange things in the original files:

- Purifier's Justicar upgrade refers to a Psychic Inquisition ability, but the gained ability's name is Psychic Field
- The Nob Kommando selfbomb mentions that the kommando will be sent flying unless he has a piece of gear (armor I think) that I didn't find listed in his options.

Spanish translation for 2.3 finished, checked and sent.

This comes a bit late, but i could do a german translation if i got some time between work (and its still needed ofc)
