Community Translation

[Dany]

Hi everyone !

Currently, our awesome community has already translated the game in German, Korean, Russian, Chinese, Hungarian and Spanish.
We are personally taking care of the French and English localization.

If people are interested to work on other language integration, you can also start to do it. We want to have lots of different languages possible for the game, but can’t take part in all of them at the moment since the text of the game is likely to change, so if you want to start working on it and imply yourself in the development, you are welcome to do so, it will fasten our future work. :)

The files are located in the "Localization" folder of the game installation folder.
The english_xml.pak is the original one.
You can open the .pak file using WinRar or WinZip (it is in fact a simple .zip renamed) then open any XML files with Excel 2003+ Edition.

The files that needs to be modified are:

-text_ui_activeskills.xml
-text_ui_creatures.xml
-text_ui_gameplay.xml
-text_ui_housing.xml
-text_ui_ingame.xml
-text_ui_loot.xml
-text_ui_menus.xml
-text_ui_passiveskills.xml
-text_ui_player.xml
-text_ui_quests.xml
-text_ui_world.xml

Once opened, only use the "current file configuration", do not upgrade the file thanks to the newer Excel version ect.
The first column is the "key" we are using from the game code.
The second column is the actual text in English.
The third column is the one used by the game, so it is the one needed to be translated and the only one you should change.

We made a color code for the text, green is the 'old' lines, orange are the new ones. This helps you and us seeing directly which string just has been added.

Thank you very much for your great work!

v 1.08 still has quite a few errors in the English text. I tried to edit the xls file yesterday, but the second column (for edited strings) is showing formula's instead of text. Any ideas? Alternatively, if someone could upload me a working version of the ingame text file, I could do it during my spare time at work. Would be nice, cheers!

[CoTTo]

you can overwrite them, it's only a formular to copy the content in the last column

If you have the time, could you possible upload the english localization file somewhere Cotto? Then I can have a look right now (very quiet at work lately). I had to uninstall the game at home because of a corrupted install.

Would be much appreciated!

Hello guys,
Here is the hungarian_xml.pak with the correct characters: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17364026/Wolcen/LOCALIZATION/hungarian_xml.pak

Here is the new english_xml.pak with the colors :) : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17364026/Wolcen/LOCALIZATION/english_xml.pak
Tell me if it's ok for you.

And here is the HUD_Font_LocFont.gfx that you can use for any latin language. You just need to replace the current one by this one in the 'yourlanguage_xml.pak' : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17364026/Wolcen/LOCALIZATION/HUD_Font_LocFont.gfx

You can use this file for spanish by example. It is this one used for Hungarian.

To test you language, before the next UI update, you can enter the line: 'g_language=yourlanguage' in the user.cfg ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17364026/Wolcen/LOCALIZATION/user.cfg ) It will force the language you want (It need to be the same world as the *_xml.pak) Example: g_language=english

[Limp Squirrel]

nice, thanks!

[CoTTo]
