Hello guys,

 

I'm now working on a german translation of 8BitMMO, but there showed up some theoretical problems.

1)

First of all I'm modding the "location.xls" file which can be found in the ressources of the game. I'm working on an Ubuntu-Dist, so I do not have microsoft excell, I'm using google docs instead, but it only can output the newer format ".xlsx", will this also work fine?

2)

How some of you may know, German uses umlauts like ä,ü or ö. Will they be displayed fine in the game or do I have to change them?

 

Well that was my first bunch of problems, by working on this translation. If you can help me I would be very pleased, since this is my first try modding a game.

 

For those who are interested in the translation, I'm now at 28 lines of nearly 400 but I'm working on this

Hey good luck with that. We already have a few German players so this will definatly be a nice mod and sim might even add German as a language option!

Thanks for all your support
I'm a bit supriesed about all this positive feedback, but thanks a lot it's a big motivation-boost

 

Though I'll have less time (school starts and such stuff), I further work on it, and I think I'll have it done unti the  end of September

For now I'm at line 65

Again thanks to all for your support <3

Edit: Some of the my fails are now corrected

Update

245 lines of ca. 400 are now translated.

One the one hand it means, yes, the translation makes steps fourther to get finished.
BUT on the other hand it means, I wont be able to finish it this month.

The positive thing is the remaining lines a way shorter than the done, so it (hopefully) wont take another month.

 

Stay tuned for new updates.

Thanks again for your support

Didnt really had time working on this the last days, so I'm at 280 lines.

But there's a word I ever slip over: fancy!   
I do not even know if theres a useful german word for it. Maybe this is because I cant really explain the meaning.   

So can you?

Would be a great help by translate it right.

I don't speak any German, but it depends on the context of the word on what it means.

 

If you fancy something, that means you like it or you want it.

If something is fancy, that means that it is fine and expensive.

[El Dromedario]

I guess you need it for the ridiculously fancy tophat.

In that case it would mean expensive, chic, extravagant.

German is not my best language but I think schick is most appropriate for it.

 

 

edit: madman, copy/pasting a dictionairy entry isn't gonna help anyone.

i was only trying to help, if he read that and saw the meaning for fancy it might have helped him.

you could've helped by giving him a summary of the meaning of fancy, not summoning a wall of text on him.

I sorta see the star trek facepalm thing, but i also can see the predator mask...

[RMStyle]

Thanks to all to all of you

@El Dromedario: "Schick" seems to be the best fitting word, thanks

 

@madman: Yeah I appreciate your try to help but I read through this but its a bit too much^^

 

@Zooty: Your's was the best explanation for the word, thanks

 

@Dragonslayerwei: Yes it was a wall of words, but I appreciate every help I get, so dont be mad at him (hehe, got it?)

 

@abt79 & asedita 1: Seriously?!?
