Hi, I could help you bring an Italian localization into the game, for free of course. If you are interested you can contact me at lucasssi@outlook.it

Unfortunately the Arabic translation is not 100% accurate. I had to switch to English language to solve the chess puzzle because the translation didn't make any sense.

Sorry for that! Do you have a suggestion to make it more clear? I would gladly make any changes to create a better puzzle.
The problem with the chess pieces was that the texts could not be translated 1:1 because the names of the pieces are different in every language.

Now that you mentioned the difference, it kinda made sense. the bishop in chess is called "elephant" in Arabic and the translation was "found in the zoo". But there is also the knight which called "Horse" and that what got me confused.

Thanks for your replay. So the only irritation was, that tha Knight/Horse could also be found in the zoo?
Just to make sure, the intention was that someone has written on the CD to describe a girl he has filmed secretly but also it describes a chess piece. So can someone guess everything from:
"Pawn": ليس كثيرًا عليه\nاعلى مرهن، شقة. 4b
"Queen" مثل الوزير! \nشارع بليكر 2a
"Bishop": يوجد في حديقة الحيوانات \nشارع عيد الفصح 7f

(I can't insert the correct formatting of the numbers here for some reason).
Thanks! :)

yea that what threw me off so I switched to English language. Maybe i could have solve it if concentrated more, and i'm sure the guy who did the translation did a good job.
