If any German speaking players are willing, and have a few minutes to spare, I could use a little translation assistance.

Animal Lore i18n

Thanks!

Added some words. Still working on it. Not happy with all of them, so if in doubt I rather leave it blank. Skills I translated with Wikipedia or translator sites. Some analogies taken from the Skyrim german translation as well.

I'm not sure whether it's wise to translate skills at all. Some translation would be rather unintuitive (Chivalry = Ritterlichkeit) and there is no in-game reference to the translation. Like I would have to check google to know which skill "Ritterlichkeit" would represent. Some other are more intuitiv, like Bushido = Buschido.

Also, and you maybe already know it, but strictly spoken we are doing localization (l10n) work. i18n (internationalization) refers to the process or software components enabling the application to be localized for different regions. The actual process of doing it for a specific region than is considered l10n. But yea, since there is no point in one of those without the other, it's also used interchangeably :scholar::postcount:

What is "hits" supposed to mean? Just short for hit points? Or really like in "has to take/deal X hits .."?

Thanks for the help guys. Yes, I'm looking for the localization that would make sense to the user who speaks whichever language. That's why I was holding off from just using Google translate. :)

"Hits" as in HP; that's the text on an animal lore gump. :p

Thanks for the translation help guys :) Anyone who helped, please do add your name at the bottom of that spreadsheet so I can credit you. I'll take the wraps off this project soon enough; hopefully about when the new publish goes live. Any French or Spanish speakers, there's still a little left needing translation. For all translations, if you speak the language, give the other translations a look to make sure they make sense... very little of the new publish was localized yet officially, so 95% of the translations came from you guys. :)

Ok, I'm just a noob when it comes to pets ;) Anyway, someone else has filled the remaining german gaps. Cheers. Tag me when you need help again. It's also some good practice for us poor non english natives.

Thanks guys. I've merged in the i18n code and updated the translations from the latest ones on that spreadsheet. If you want to check that things actually make sense in context (including capitalization and such), give a look at BrianFreud/ALTest - Stratics Community Wiki | Stratics Community Forums . You'll see a new link added up top:

Click on that to start the tool. Any problems, let me know! :)

Pete´s translations were simply excellent, I just specified/smoothed 4-5 words.

I'm now working on the editor for the rest of the mob info, the info that doesn't get set from animal lore readings.

To that end, I've added another batch of text strings. Some of these are a little more complex; if anyone runs into problems, please let me know. :) There'll be a few more strings added before I finish, but this is most of them. Thanks again to anyone who helps - make sure to add your name at the bottom so I can credit you!

Also, if anyone wants to add any other languages (Dutch, Bokmål, Chinese, whatever), that's easy to do. Just use a new column for the new language, and I'll make sure to include it. :)

(Also, @spin and @panoramix2009, so we're all in the same place. :) )

Anyone still interested in helping with some translations, I've updated the spreadsheet with hopefully the last batch of strings. These cover the displayed page, rather than the editor, so the info can also be read in translation, not just edited in translation. Again, my thanks for anyone willing to spend a few minutes. :)
