I'm brazilian, so I can help with Brazilian Portuguese, which has some difference from Portuguese from Portugal.

btw, one little question neji, the translation would require coding or just translation of the text?

Well, you go in the game, find nice little "T" boxes everywhere, and once you click them, you see the original text and can add your translation.

Or you can go the Translation Wizard(TM by Neji) to translate faster with more texts involved and also "module-wise".

No coding involved, yet you need to know what a replacement for a variable is.

Example:

Quote
%s`3 was found dead in the forest.

then you can safely assume that %s is the player name...

You lost %s gold.

Quote
then %s is the amount of gold lost.

You need to keep the %s in your translation, or we will lose the data from there which is not outputtet anymore.

Translation Wizard? a translation program? Please, i beg you not to use them, not only in spanish, in any language. Their translations are pathetic. Let's see two examples:

Spanish sentence:
El gato está comiendo patatas, pescado y carne, lo que significa que es omnívoro
Real translation:
The cat is eating potatoes, fish and meat, which means that he's omnivorous
Translation Wizard translation:
The cat is beginning chips fish and beef i what significa what is omnivoro

Another one, this time in english:
I beg you not to use them
Real translation:
Te ruego/suplico que no los uses
Translation Wizard translation:
Io rogar usted not to use them (belive me, that's not spanish, that's not even a language)

Please, if you don't want me to help, no problem, but that's and incredible game that deserves the best translation possible to all the available languages. By the way, the translation method that you said looks very easy to do :D

=) no, it does not translate for you, it only helps you by making "original" -> " translation" more easy to enter.

i.e. you have multiple sentences from one module on a page, you can search for a sentence you know who needs to be fixed and much more...

it will not influence what you enter, it just makes it more comfortable.

you might be sure of it, boss!  ;) i've know only 3 or 4 spanish people in the game, but i've known a lot of spanish talkers, so i'm sure it would be very welcome (we dominate english, but it's better and nicer to read and play in your familiar language, and i'm not talking only about the spanish talkers ;D ) As you say  :cool:

Gee, I really wanted to translate here. My friends who aren't english speakers would come to play. Pity there is no demand for polish translation -,-'

Yes, more than a handful are needed, you also have to think of:

-> upkeeping the translations, fixing, etc
-> updating for new modules
-> translators may leave / expire

etc
