Just so french people know I am currently translating the entire game in french. So far I have the first half of the dialogue, the entire intro/ending and the entire item list done

there were elements that werent translatable though, like the word tremoring and godspeed, which has no french equivalent, as well as other parts that didn't made sense at all if translated literally, so those have been translated by interpretation of what it meant tho. It should be nicely translated though so don't worry, you will not see a translation like Dragon Ball anime and video games. Also, names and location names with person/enemy/god/whatever name will not be translated. For example in Mysterious Cities of Gold anime, they translated Pichou to Kokapetl, but in my MCOG game I left it as Pichou.

Btw will the title be translated too or left as it is? In french "Lost Legends" would become "L

:thumbup:

I can replace the kana part of the title with the French version. That way, it will appear in English, with the French equivalent directly below it.

Just remember that not everything is bound to be literal. In sentences where you see things like "Godspeed!" you can switch it out for something like "Bonne chance!" (they would roughly give the same idea)

For tremoring, you can interpret it as being similar to shaking, or trembling. Think of what would be used in French context of such a situation.

Translation 98% done, I sent it to you via PM. The 2% remaining is untranslatable words I don't understands

cool! couldn't you update via svn?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #5 on:** December 30, 2007, 06:07:00 pm »

I cannot upload files via svn, or at least i can't find any option letting me do so

I guess I don't have enough priviledges to do that

You just need to get setup with TortoiseSVN. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at doing that. >_<

Whenever you finish up the couple of strings we talked about, just send me the new file via PM and I'll add it to the trunk myself.

download http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

install it

log into your google/gmail account and go to http://code.google.com/p/lostlegends/source

click the link that says "googlecode.com password"

copy the randomly generated password (you'll want to memorize it)

now navigate to the folder you want to put your SVN into.

right click and select "SVN Checkout"

for the SVN location type "https://lostlegends.googlecode.com/svn"

now that the SVN is set up, to update what's in your copy, just right click the SVN folder on your comp and select "SVN Update" you'll be prompted for your password

if you want to upload to the SVN so everyone else can be updated, select "SVN Commit" you'll be prompted for your password and you need to check box anything you want to upload.

hope that helps
