I am Hungarian. I spent some time in Siberia as part of a scientific expedition.

Post them??? All the interface files and missions too? Just paste the binaries to a post, really? Wow! :P

Re: Proposal - Multilanguage support for Diaspora?
In case it wasn't clear, all we really need are these files:
from sparky_fs2.vp
data\fonts\font01.vf
data\fonts\font02.vf
data\fonts\font03.vf

and from root_fs2.vp
data\tables\strings.tbl
data\tables\tstrings.tbl

also check the actual Freespace2 \data folder for the same files just in case.  shiv_pl found them there.

And actually I'd prefer the tables sent as files, not pasted in a post... Mobius' paste worked for Italian but I suspect Cyrillic wouldn't display right on my machine in browser.  After all, we need it in table form in the long run anyway...

I uploaded both installers onto Diaspora FTP. Karajorma has access to it, just as all Diaspora members.

Re: Proposal - Multilanguage support for Diaspora?
Thanks!  This is a jackpot!  Big thanks.

The Russian Cyrillic font works great.  Interesting; looks like they just replaced all the Uppercase letters.

Hmm, seems for both they went the long way and translated every single mission and table file, instead of just making / modifying tstrings.tbl .

The Russians went that far as translating everything. There are Russian binary files and Russian interface art. :)

Did I mention that I bought it 3 month BEFORE the official release of the game?

Re: Proposal - Multilanguage support for Diaspora?
Hello Mobius! I've read the messages and some posts. Thank you for the HB. I'm very busy with exams, and i was isolated last months because them.

Hi. I present volunteer for translating to spanish. Give me a text and i'll translate it. Awaiting orders.
Working on the Freespace 2 spanish translation. In case you want to play the game in castillian, click here. You'll need some spanish there, though, sorry :p

If you want your mod/campaign translated to spanish, please PM me or send me an e-mail message.

I could translate from spanish to english too, if you want, but it wouldn't be perfect, not at all. For spanish->english translations comes better an english native with spanish knowledge.

Use VP View to extract strings.tbl from the root VP in your main FS folder and translate English strings into Spanish ones.

I worked as well on the Italian translation - multiplayer stuff are still bugging me. :mad:

Re: Proposal - Multilanguage support for Diaspora?
I have a question: is Diaspora going to use the same tips.tbl used in FS2? I'm currently translating it...

Re: Proposal - Multilanguage support for Diaspora?
The one I'm currently looking at is only slightly different from the original FS2 one so most of your work would be just fine.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

Re: Proposal - Multilanguage support for Diaspora?
I am wondering if current FS2_SCP supports multibyte characters. For example: Chinese, Japanese, Korean.

Years ago I was told that it was not possible. But I was also told that UTF-8 support may be implemented sometime.


I would like to see a Chinese version if it, although I doubt how many chinese players are still there...

Good news, people! :D

134th Barracudas, a fellow member who lives in Venice, has joined me in our effort to translate all basic strings in Italian. :)

I'm surprised of the fact that you don't remember Admiral Edivad, who's in the INFA team... :p

Yeah, there are a few Italians here, but most of them are busy. I noticed Rael(AKA 134th Barracudas) almost by chance. :)
