User blog:Sinthorion/100% Translations

This blog will not be about a feature of the mod (like almost all of my blogs) but about one member of our community, or more what he has done: Legolas222. He is not very active in this community but he created and organises the Russian wiki and administrates a VKontakte page for the mod (VK is a social network popular in Russia), where he brings all news from the FB page to the Russian community. But this is not what this blog is really about.

After Legolas222 finished the Russian translation of the mod, it wasn't enough for him. All the NPC speech texts were still in English. So he started to translate them too. He started this project already some time ago and still has only translated a small part of it all. But in the end, the game will be 100% Russian. Since speech texts cannot be changed in the .lang files, he replaced the assets in the mod .jar directly.

The point of this all is that you could do the same for your language! If you: I suggest you make your own translation! To make things easier, you can make a project page somewhere where multiple users can contribute (for example Dropbox). The completed translation can either be put in a modified mod .jar, or (as a better solution) used as a resource pack.
 * know two languages well enough to make translations,
 * want a full translation of the mod and
 * have a lot of free time

I unfortunately don't have the time to work on such a project myself, but I will gladly give advise to anyone who does! Not knowing how to do it shouldn't be the barrier.

Fun fact (and hint to Eureka): I just started building up a new Russian naval force in Dystopian Wars.
