Foreign languages

Hello,

I learned in my similar thread for Rebellion here https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/407750 that Diplomacy is available in foreign languages (at least in french but I guess others too) with the Trinity version.

I bought it as micro expansion from Impulse and got it only in english.

Isn't it really possible to release it on impulse (as a patch or as an official mod) in foreign languages for people who bought it as micro expansion ?

The problem is that Stardock release the english version of sins... for the European version, Kalypso is the distributor... It is Kalypso who make the French-English translation... so, i think that it will be difficult for Stardock/Impulse to release language files from a other distributor...

By the way, as today, Kalypso only support Trinity... last time that they have release a language file for sins was the 17/03/2009, a 146.6 mb exe file with video/sounds...

Now, about the fan made translation, it is mainly the english.str who is translated, not the sound/video... in some way, they are mods and it will be wrong if Stardock take the work from other...

Since it is your second topic on the subject, why not make a single topic with link to various translation... if the topic is worthy, maybe Stardock will make a sticky of it and so, it will remain at the top...

Or maybe start yourself a mod group from French speaking people and make translation/voice acting files for the various expansion pack...

For info, with Trinity 1.02,  3 strings have been added to the version 1.011 :

Your mission from %s has ended because %s has been defeated

So, you can use the trans_galactique translation for diplomacy 1.011 and add yourself a translation for the 3 strings to the english.str ... and increase by 3 the "NumStrings" number... if needed, i can teach you how to make it ( very simple ) but i will not give you directly the file... so, next time, your will be able to make it by yourself...
