As far as I can see, there is no Polish translation being done - well, I would be willing to do it. Just hope this is the right place to write about it. If my e-mail is going to be needed, it's foresterr@tlen.pl

I can offer to translate the game and manual into Spanish, but not the Spanish from Spain, Spanish {aka; Castellano} from South America. South American's tend to make fun of Spain's Spanish.

If you think you have a reasonable audience, feel free to contact me. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ...

Bulgarian translation is almost like russian - it uses an additional AGS font and a several lines of script in the game_start function, so I guess it won't be a problem to translate it...Right?

Yes, there's already a volunteer working on the translation. I have your email adress written down in case he decides to quit the job. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ...

I seriously doubt we will. Translation packs are small files that fit on a 720 KB floppy. Voicepacks are bigger. Granted, size became less of an issue ever since AGS supported the ogg-format for speech, but it'd still be a pain for us to record and store the whole thing. Not only that, but there's a smaller audience for each translated version, so it's not really worth it. Thanks for the offer though. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ...

I thought as much... but I just couldn't have lived with myself had I not offered. I mean, the guilt, the terror, the feeling of evasion... it would have made my sleep a nightmare. I would have developed a nervous tic next to one eye. A stranger with a fat wife would have thought I was winking at him. The wife would have hit me with her handbag after the husband tried to flirt with me. I would have accidentally thrown them both down a drainpipe. I would have run down a crowded street, stolen an old beat-up car and gone careering down the highway... and a criminal career would have begun... Now I'm safe from that. <wicked smile> <img src="http://almirenasciefyr.homestead.com/fi ... enapic.jpg" style="border:0;"/> <img border="0" src="http://almirenasciefyr.homestead.com/fi ... enapic.jpg" width="201" height="216"> Hast thou couragious fire to thaw the ice of frozen North discoveries? and thrise Colder than Salamanders, like divine Children in th'oven ...

<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... lasses.gif ALT="8)"> Hi, there! I know that someone is already doing the portuguese translation, but portuguese from Brazil is not yet taken. I would like to offer my services as a portuguese (brazilian) translator. You might be wondering: "Would it be worth the time and effort to have 2 portuguese translations?" Well, do I really have to remind you just how BIG Brazil is compared to Portugal? (nothing personal) <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"> Just one thing, though, I just downloaded the entire game, do I have time to play it all the way to the end before starting the translation? Are there any need to start the work right now? Diego

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>I would like to offer my services as a portuguese (brazilian) translator.<hr></blockquote> Is brazilian portuguese so different than Portugal portuguese? Myself, I live in Quebec. Even the Quebec french is little different from France french but I'm still able to understand french games from France. Robin Gravel Naturette rules. Oui monsieur.

#163 Post by **Erpy** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 1:43 am

I am aware of the Bazilian/portugal-difference. A while back, a volunteer to help the translator started his own translation into Brazilian portugese. So I'm afraid the job is already taken. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ...

djsouza · #164 Post by **djsouza** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 3:18 am

Okay, so the job IS taken (what a bummer...<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ohwell.gif ALT=":\"> ) Could you please give my e-mail address to the guy who is current working on the brazilian version? He might need some help, advice and so on... Also, I heard that Tierra thinks it is kind of impossible to make a GOOD translation of Kings Quest 2. Yet, that does not mean one cannot try!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"> Would you be so kind as to send me a copy of Kings Quest 2 text files, so I will have something to work with? I sure do like the challenge (and I REALLY would love to help)! Besides, what do you have to loose???<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)">

KQ1VGA 3.0 won´t be released until AGS can support True Type Fonts, is that right?

DasJan · #166 Post by **DasJan** » Thu Feb 13, 2003 4:26 pm

AGS supports truetype fonts for a few months now. Das Jan --- <a href="http://www.dasjan.de">www.dasjan.de</a> - <a href="http://www.adventure-treff.de">www.adventure-treff.de</a>

There are a couple of things to work out with the font right now. The current TTF used is quite ugly. There's a better font out there, but it doesn't have characters like á, ô or ï yet. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nasht ...

Fribbi · #168 Post by **Fribbi** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 12:57 am

Not even Icelandic letter? Erpy do you still keep our works we worked on in you hard disk? Don't worry I still keep mine if you have unfortunately deleted it.

#169 Post by **Erpy** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 1:03 am

A new feature of AGS allows the game to display the font in a better way. And yes, I still have the translations. Right now, a lot of hard work is being done on getting the bugs out of the game. We thought it was nearly flawless already. And then two people pop up and prove you wrong... <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashc ...

Fribbi · #172 Post by **Fribbi** » Wed Mar 12, 2003 11:27 pm

Erpy I got your new template but I have a question about this. Shall I translate all of this in the template or just leave them where they are where I shall ignored them? And the last question, where can I get Lucas art style font in the Internet? What other font character may I use?

#173 Post by **Erpy** » Thu Mar 13, 2003 2:34 am

I'm not really sure what you're trying to ask, Fribbi. In my mail, I mentioned which lines could be ignored. You can simply skip these. All the other lines should be filled in. Of course, 90% of the text is already in your old template, so you can copy-paste existing lines from the old template into the new one. As for LA-fonts, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. It doesn't have anything to do with the template, right? <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ...

Fribbi · #174 Post by **Fribbi** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 12:38 am

Erpy I could not open the zip file you e-mailed to me so could you send me the file again. I have translated all of those text in the template even those text I was asked to ignored.I hope it is ok I mean I did that just in case if they are going to use that someday.

#175 Post by **Erpy** » Fri Mar 14, 2003 1:06 am

Wait a second. You said you couldn't open the zip-file, but at the same time you said you also translated those pieces you could ignore. How could you reach the new template-file if you couldn't get inside the zip-file? I guess I'll resend it... EDIT: I sent the template.txt and your old translation file to your email account. Just copy/paste the old lines into the empty spaces of the new template.txt, check if they're correct and fill in any new lines of which I didn't tell you to ignore them. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashq ...
