Hello,
would you be interested to translate your game Kings Quest 2 VGA into german. I would be able to help you with that because I'm from Germany.

KQ2+VGA will not be translated, due to several reasons - among these are bad experiences with the translation process for KQ1VGA.

Could you specify where exactly did it result in bad experience?

For example, a lot of the volunteer translators just didn't make their translations. Instead of telling us they were quitting, they just sort of disappeared. That means we had no way of knowing they had stopped the work, so we couldn't assign the translation to a different volunteer.

Also, KQ2VGA has much, much more text, so it'd be that much easier to give up on making a translation. And a lot of the text is poetic and doesn't translate well.
