Hey there! Just wanted to know if there is still time to deliver the translations. I was helping the Portuguese translator, Francisco, but he has stopped contacting me for about 3 or 2 months. Is there another portuguese translator already? Or perhaps the time to work in this translation pack has ended?

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Just wanted to know if there is still time to deliver the translations.<hr></blockquote> I guess so. I believe Relight recently turned down another offer though. (a portugese one, I believe) I'm probably the one who has the best view on the whole translation process and I must admit the whole thing tends to get to me on occasion as well. A raw estimate is that of all the people I hand out a template to, only about 5% ever shows a sign of life again. I've done a translation myself and I know that the job is massive. I'm not surprised most people simply don't finish it, but what I have problems with is that nobody (except two people at the start) ever bothered to report that they gave up on it. These days, all I can do for new volunteers is to refer them to the person on my list who's OFFICIALLY still working on it. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nasht ...

I can see how difficult it is to control all the translation process. I recently contacted Francisco, but he hasnt answered me yet. He was the one who sent me the templates to rooms 40-49 and 50-59. I already translated them, and now I was double checking everything to see if there some mistakes. That is why I was asking if there was still time to finish the translations. I was also wondering if there was a new person responsible for the portuguese translation.

Nope, Francisco is still officially listed as the brazilian portugese volunteer. But I haven't received an update from him in one and a half year. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashh ...

More than 1 year?<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"> Wow! He hasnt told me that. Until october, we were still talking about the translation project of KQ1. I will try to see if he answers my e-mails in the next 2 or 3 days. If not, I might take over the whole translation, that is, if you guys still has some interest in adding the portuguese translation to the game.

Francisco replied to me and will continue to help me finish the portuguese translation. He said he will contact you soon.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)">

I believe it does now. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ...

Hey, there! I was re-reading the rooms 50-59 and found this line: "You wont be needing any leaves on your quest, Sir Graham." I believe it is some sort of pun, a play on words, isnt it?

#112 Post by **Erpy** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 2:29 am

Are you sure? It might be one of the tree-messages. That's how I translated it. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashu ...

djsouza · #113 Post by **djsouza** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:26 am

Okay then. Indeed, it is related to the trees. One more thing, Francisco sent me the new templates, and as I was reading it, I noticed the following line was missing from Room 50 "There is nothing up there you'll need, besides you'll frighten the mother bird." But I am pretty sure this line is in the game, I played it again just to see it.

During an update procedure, all lines with grammar/punctuation/spelling faults are taken out of the rooms and glued at the bottom of the document. Have you checked there? <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ...

djsouza · #115 Post by **djsouza** » Thu Jan 22, 2004 3:45 am

Nope, right now I only have the new roons 50-59, with some lines missing. The aditional lines are not at the bottom of my document. Perhaps I just need the whole document or something? Should I ask Francisco to send me all the rooms availabe, or perhaps you can send me the whole thing? Anyway, my e-mail is <a href="mailto:diego1978@terra.com.br"> diego1978@terra.com.br</a>

I suggest contacting Frank about it. <img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ...

Erp. Sorry. I decided not to read the previous pages, so I'm not sure whether you will or won't translae Qfg2VGA in Russian, but if you need to I could help with this and/or test it if smeone else is already doing so. Not only would I be doing something constructive, but this would give me a chance to brush up on my language. Not sure if the forums or most comps read cyrillic w/o some tweaking.

Currently, how many languages will there be?

#122 Post by **Erpy** » Mon May 03, 2004 10:26 am

Russian, Dutch, German, Icelandic, Spanish, Italian and Latin. (although the Latin wasn't included with version 3.0 and I keep forgetting to ask Relight to upload it.

)

So, except for French, all major languages (and a few minor) seem covered.

Gronagor · #123 Post by **Gronagor** » Mon May 03, 2004 11:08 am

So... how many people should be talking the language to have it as a 'major' language?

#124 Post by **Erpy** » Mon May 03, 2004 11:29 am

I don't have any set criterium, but I would consider English, German, French, Italian and Spanish as a "major" language.
