Line 220: === Translating rules === ~~[21:12] <hendrikus>~~ We have started to translate the introduction in various languaes.▼ [21:03] <Oslsachem> how about internationalization? it is a great hurdle for increasing our userbase and sth that will need to be dealt with sooner or later. ~~[21:12] <hendrikus>~~ A big thank you to every one who worked on that.▼ [21:03] <omero> I can help translating the rules in italian ~~[21:13] <hendrikus>~~ If you know other languages, please help with that.▼ [21:03] <superkym> tigertoes, i think oslachem already did a spanish translation of the rules. if you can recruit others to help that is fine. ~~[21:13] <hendrikus>~~ Either by improving already existing translations or adding new ones.▼ [21:04] <tigertoes> i do know a few different persons of other cultures, i might try * Oslsachem translated to Spain and offered to do Protuguese [21:05] <Oslsachem> I can give it a try to portuguese, french or italian with the help of a translator :) omera offered to translate the rules to Italian [21:05] <hendrikus> But I like to ask for some testers. === Translating game === [21:11] <Oslsachem> what's the position about internationalization? [21:12] <superkym> Oslsachem, sorry, I do not know what you mean. [21:12] <Oslsachem> because for many players, especially the younger ones, the english is a big hurdle ▲[21:12] <hendrikus> We have started to translate the introduction in various languaes. ▲[21:12] <hendrikus> A big thank you to every one who worked on that. ▲[21:13] <hendrikus> If you know other languages, please help with that. ▲[21:13] <hendrikus> Either by improving already existing translations or adding new ones. [21:14] <hendrikus> For example the text below the screenshots are still open on some transaltions. [21:14] <Oslsachem> I wonder if having internationalization for the game is feasible [21:15] <hendrikus> For the complete game, it is not. [21:15] <Oslsachem> or if the grammar system is a problem [21:15] <superkym> Oslsacheam, oh, isn't that against what you usually cite as a main rule for stendhal? [21:15] <superkym> That all players should see the same thing? [21:15] <hendrikus> No, the grammar is not the issue. The problem is that it is a huge amount of work. And everyone who tried has given up after a couple of weeks. [21:16] <hendrikus> No -> the grammar is not the issue. [21:16] <Oslsachem> of course, kym. But in real life we also see the same things and people can speak with customers in different languages [21:16] <Oslsachem> I am not afraid of the work Line 253 ⟶ 243: [21:23] <hendrikus> But that will probably take half a year of full time work. [21:23] <Oslsachem> ok, are the instructions for translating available somewhere? [21:23] <Oslsachem> oh [21:23] <Oslsachem> so much text? [21:23] <hendrikus> Oslsachem, i can look for it after the meeting. Line 274 ⟶ 263: == Closing meeting == ~~[21:28] <hendrikus>~~ I like to thank everyone for attending. ~~[21:29] <hendrikus>~~ We will put up a chatlog and a summary on the wiki and put a link on http://stendhalgame.org ~~[21:29] <hendrikus>~~ Feel free to join us in [http://stendhalgame.org/chat/ #arianne] on freenode at any time.
