New English Translation Mod

[Nasrin]

I am currently working on translating the game. I am not sure how much can be translated besides the text but I am working on it. This will be machine translated until I find volunteers that can give a more accurate translation. I was told an English patch existed but I am going to be translating more than what is in the game. Thank you for your time.

I can't believe I was browsing this game out of curiosity and then coincidentally discovered your thread.

Can you elaborate what you meant by translating more than what is in the game?

Yes my friend. So the game allows modding and the workshop. There is a tool that allows some of the files to be unpacked and other things that comes with the default game. I am able to translate not only the tool and the pop up before the game starts that has some settings but also the ability to select mods. Also naturally able to translate the text.

I will post in here as I make progress and I will try translating the other games as well.

No promises on being able to translate the other games. They will require a programmer to unpack the files. Luckily I can handle this first game.

It is a small game so it won't die. Negativity like that is not inspiring

Looks at other translation projects Tis but a joke sir, if that level of negativity is not inspiring imagine being me that thinks like that every day.

It's great to see someone willing to translate this game.

The first reply of this post refers to the existing English patch:

If you would like to build a new translation project, you could also get some information here.

In the dialog editing MOD function provided by the steam version, the max amount of characters per line and the total amount of lines are fixed. Because the high information density of Chinese, you may need more space in the English translation.

This engine already has a very flexible translation support build-in. The current English patch is using it. You need some extra tricks to enable it.

BTW, currently, almost all elements of this game can be edited (not the Ad Lib music, you could replace them, but no editing support), if you would like to know more, we can discuss it here.

There is a function that has to be enabled for more lines? Also thank you!

I found a solution to re-enable the function:


Rename MSG_chs.txt, MSG_cht.txt, WORD_chs.txt and WORD_cht.txt so that the App could not find them, then the fan-made English patch would work like it did.

Actually you need two files only to take a test: m_eng.slf, sdlpal.cfg

m_eng.slf is a UTF-8 text document, the main translation file. sdlpal.cfg is the config file that indicates the App to load the translation file.

If you can actually increase the character limit then that would be incredible. The old translation is great considering the technical limitations, but I quit part way because I saw I was only getting half of the experience.

Good luck with your project Nasrin, try and find help, will be easier. ;)

i'd totally play the game with your translation, I subbed to topic !

Currently playing on 7th which I enjoy a lot, curious to see how's the origin of the series.

[Nasrin]

I will see what I can do about the character limit. I had thought maybe a new section of text could be placed on the screen but will need a programmer's help if it is doable.

The problem of the character amount limit has been solved. The translation file format supports it.
