Der dreissigjährige Krieg v1.0

lol

every free moment, (if i dont play starcraft 2, diablo 3 or modding at infractas america mod) i work at translation. but i will never understand people who have fun with this **** of translating.
mainly the humor and allusions are hard to translate. example, who dont know gina wild (michaela schaffrath) will not unterstand it...

@Freelancer Tex, in the third screenshot it says "Il palatinato prende la leadership"
La leadership, is that Italian? Made me laugh. Amazing how I can understand most of it because of the little French I speak.

Well,no: "leadership" is not an Italian word,but in here, in Italy we use a lot of foreign words. They are part of our "everyday vocabulary",so that's why I wrote that.
"La" it's just a definite article for singular and females words

@Monti
Knowing how ist Gina Wild -> is general knowledge!

OMG

This is so tempting. I can see that translation is going well. What exactly isn't translated in this batch though? I assume the event descriptions?

How much percent of the translation would you say this batch makes for?

[Gigantus]

File wise it's 70% - work wise it's about 20%

The unit (10%), building (10%) and events (40%) file are the major remaining undertakings. The remaining 20% are with expanded, quotes, campaign_descriptions and the rest of traits and ancillaries.

[YourStepDad]

Ooh that is awesome. I expected it to be somewhere around 10% and not 20%. This is awesome.

One question - Will the nations have appropriate accents? If not, could you import them from Empire like you did with some strat map models?

And videos - will there be any, and will they be in german?

[dmcraanen]

Ah thanks for letting me know about the water gigantus!

[Gigantus]

One question - Will the nations have appropriate accents? If not, could you import them from Empire like you did with some strat map models?

Considering that this is more or less the German linguistic area that the mod plays in, I don't think there is a need fro different accents.

You do realize this mod is released already?

Simply download it - what we are doing is just a patch for it. And yes, there are plenty videos (26 event plus 6 faction) and they will all remain in German - difficult to replace a sound track.

[YourStepDad]

Yeah, I thought so too, both for videos and accents. But what about Poland, Sweden, Utrecht Union, Spain, Scottish mercs, Ottomans and basically all non German factions? Will they have native voices?

And yeah, don't mind the videos being in German, it's rather suitable

EDIT: If I download it I'll give in to the temptation of playing it more easily. I'm struggling as it is.

I installed the translation, deleted string files to make it work but it still crashes to desktop when i try to start a campaign or load an existing one. Help, what do I need to do?

[Kommodore]

Please give us an log, so we can see, what's the problem

The provided string.bin files do not need deleting - that shouldn't be the reason for a crash anyhow.

Please check the 'Error Reporting' instructions in the first post and then come back with a log.

[xephosIta]

Without deleting strings it wouldn't even start.
This sould be the log.

[Darklord1294]

I had the same problem with the translated files.

Update

20120526 - 1648 - text part a (update)

There has been a formatting error in the English text files that led to a crash. Extract the attachment into the data\text folder.
.

[Cathedralsquares]

I'm still getting a crash to desktop every time I try to start a new campaign.

It says there's a script error with a mortar having a range of 308 but I can't find it in the EDU

[Gigantus]

There were some further formatting errors - I have tested the complete set of text files and the UPDATE post includes now the complete data\text folder.

[xephosIta]

Thanks Gig, it works!
