How to: Help to Translate

As most non-English speakers noted, the translations are very very bad! There are auto-generated via Google Translate for the most part.I am very sorry for that.

If you are interested to help, I would be very grateful:

How to Translate:
From the home screen of the game, go into [Modding] then select the [How to Translate] button. Follow the instructions. All I need is the msg_bundle_??.properties. Email it to me when done.

It's a lot to translate, so you don't have to translate everything! Just translate 5% or so. Someone else will hopefully take over in the future.

What do You Get:
I'll add your name to the credits of the game. Also, I'll provide free unlock keys for the game. You get all the maps +1000 coins as thanks. :).

Troubleshooting:
You want to translate but the letters are missing (nothing shows up)! Email your ABC... (put all the letters in the email you need) and I'll add them to the texture sheet. I can add more, I just don't know which. There are too many to chose from.

You might want to post this on the store page as either a disclaimer/apology to non english users and also including the bounty would probably get the attention of a number of people who could help.

It's been about 15 years since I regularly spoke German and I fear I may be not of much help. I could help with some of the grammar but my vocabulary “ist nicht so gute”.

Arabic would be great. Unfortunately, I haven't implemented rendering the glyphs yet. It's little bit trickier, especially also because it's right-to-left aligned. If you guys don't mind doing it that's fine, but I won't get to Arabic rendering anytime soon. So it will sit for a while.

"right-to-left aligned" Same problem for me when I want to translate The long Dark to Arabic !!.
