Russia in your game.
« on: November 15, 2003, 12:44:08 pm »
Hello. I from Russia. In our country there are many people which play and love mmorpg. Your game can become a hit on the Russian Internet. Me and my command want translation your game into Russian. Except for that I want to create a page in Russian about your game. I hope for your help.

IIMHO You\'d rather wait until the next release(CB) comes out (in 2months time). They say that CB will be translation-very-friendly.

But maybe you could do some work before that on shared components or sth. Read this :

yes, the next release, codenamed Crystal Blue, will be a lot more easy to translate(the whole GUI will be skinnable)
if you want to talk about this with the developers of Planeshift, join #planeshift @ irc.freenode.com

Come to think of it, I know I won\'t be translating it into Slovenian. First, there are just 2 of us here(AFAIK) and second, I find translating very strange and funny(we don\'t even have all the words). Things just sound better in English. It really gets weird reading all the weird translated stuff or they sounds so funny... bah no way!
Not to mention one\'s English improves.

Finally, more of us.
Yes, I am from Russia as well, so hello.
This game has been overrun, by non russian ppl, and it is time we take it back.
I would actully like to see a copy of this in Russian, but more over, I would like to see this thing completed, before translated.

Perhaps he means that he\'s russian in heart?
After all, he is the numero uno communisto.
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.

No, I mean, I am from Russia.
I moved down to Canada about 10 years ago.
Would that still count as being Russian at heart?

I hope we have many translations of CB available.  You will not have to make a separate distro for this, but will be able to simply translate 1 file (in the best case) with all the GUI elements in it, etc.

We already have German, French and Czech translations working as test cases.  We do NOT want volunteers at this point for making others because the list of translatable items still isn\'t final.  When it is we will ask for help here, and making a translation should take less than one day.

I believe we will offer each language pack as a separately downloadable item, so you won\'t have to download 50 languages you will never use.

\"Spaseba\" for your support...  :-)
