Hi everybody, I'm Olafo and I come to represent a Spanish translator community. We've translated Dungeons of Dredmor into our language, at least 90%, because there are some texts that we can not find. Most are in the folder 'game', and pictures are in the folder 'ui', but there are texts that we don't find. Some examples: Image 1 Image 2 Can anyone help us? Show us where those files are? How to get in contact with developers? Or tell us if there will be an update which allow us to translate the game in the future? Thanks, and greetings from Clan DLan
I just did a search of the entire contents of the Mac DoD application bundle, and it looks like the string "You get combat" only exists in the compiled executable. So that text is (at the moment, anyway) hardcoded into the program. It's possible this will change when the expansion comes out and DoD modding becomes more flexible, but I can't claim to speak for the devs.
Thanks for answering. Yes, I found "You get combat" in the executable too, but edit it with hex-editors, it's complicated. Then, I suppose that I have to wait for the expansion or another update
Hi ! Every strings putted into XML file is announced with 1.1.0 (see The Roadmap topic at http://www.gaslampgames.com/community/threads/the-roadmap.987/ )... wait and see.. How many translators are you ? How many time did you spend ? Easy to keep the humour ?
Thank you for the answer, aggelon We're, actually, just 2 translators, but we don't need more yet. We translate in our free time, so we don't know how many time we've spent translating. Some jokes are hard to adapt, others even don't understand them, but we do what we can. For example: "Magical Sombrero - It's... a magical sombrero. Vaya con dios!", I see the joke, and I see it's funny, but it's not easy to adapt . The translation, I suppose, will be: "Magic Hat - Es .. Un chapeau magique. Oh là là!" We'll wait for patch 1.1.0 them. Thanks again EDIT: Another example is: "Elves just want to have fun", I though about this sentence and I understood that it's a gag of "Girls just wanna have fun", Cindy Lauper's song. Unfortunately, there are no translation possible, so I've adapted it like I could.
Wow ! You were only 2 players for the full translation !!! Congratulations ! Sometime, I would like to translate it in french language, because I love this game and my misinterpretation of english waste me the pleasure of the game, of the humor... but I think I'll finally not translate it because : - I'm really new to this game, and I think translators have to know very well the game to avoid non-sense, etc... - Since I'm very new, I'd prefer to discover the game by playing and not by translating, I assume to translate it will spoil it to me - I don't speak very well english (as you can read ^^), and I don't know Cindy Lauper's titles, so I'm going to miss many things - Since Gaslamp guys are canadian and can easily find someone bilingual, I assume their professional translation will be much better than mine Congratulations again for your job, it's a nice achievements !
I too thought about getting a French translation going (I'm French Canadian) but unfortunately I don't have much imagination in terms of jokes, and they almost all have to be rewritten since everything in DoD is a reference, almost.
