Translations
There have been several requests for translating this mod into other languages, but as I am not a linguist I cannot do this alone. So, this thread will be for volunteers who want to help with the translation process to bring this mod to a wider audience. If anyone is willing to volunteer to translate a part or the whole of this mod into another language, please let me know. Alternatively, anyone willing to volunteer to edit a translation can do so as well - I am willing to kick-start the process by running the text through Google translate and then having volunteers edit it to make sure the auto-translation is serviceable. Anyone who helps in either capacity will be credited in this mod's credit section.

The current state of translations can be found here[github.com] on github.

I just finished translation of file:E20C_ConfigText in Simplified Chinese, and will going to other name and short description part. For other files, pls throw the lengthy wiki part to Google translate, and we can check it at last.

There are some detail I need make clear:
1. Effect of "Kingdom of Oil and Sand":
What is the means of "improved resource" in "Accumulute 3 extra Oil per turn per improved resource."? Just mined oil, or every resource including Sheep?
2. Effect of "Persistent":
"Gain +2% [ICON_Gold] Gold for each Great Person your Civilization has ever earned." Every Great Person when you gain, gives a +2% turn Gold buff to all cities. Right?
3. In the panel, Aircraft Carrier does not consume oil, and also, Ford Class and Charles de Gaulle Class does not consume Uranium. Is "Uses Uranium instead of Oil for fuel." just a description but effect? But Ford Class do has double maintenance.

For my Chinese translate, I strictly follow the official translation of effect description, so you may see some text more than you write :P
For the weapon‘s name, I follow the Chinese standard naming, not NATO's, so you can see "Kuznetsov Class" is called "1143.5型航空母舰" (Type 1143.5 Aircraft Carrier). It should only affect China and Russia. We can discuss this, because Chinese usually use NATO standard for Russian too. :steamfacepalm:

Thanks for your work on this. I will be running more of the text through Google translate today and posting it on GitHub, but I may not finish with all of it until tomorrow.
To answer your questions:
1. Just mined oil. The phrasing is what Firaxis used in the English version of the game to describe such a situation, and I copied their phrasing so as to try to keep things consistent.
2. Correct.
3. That is a mistake in the text. In the scenario the aircraft carriers consume oil (or uranium) and I forgot to delete that reference when transferring the information over. I will fix this in the English translation and we can make sure this is fixed in the Chinese translation as well. Thank you for catching this.
As for the weapon names, that is a good call. Feel free to give them whatever name is used most commonly in Chinese.
Again, thank you for helping out with this. I really appreciate all the work you are doing.
