Translate the Web Site

Download and translate messages_bundle.inc.txt from http://www.aevumobscurum.com/original/download-tool/. The file is a text file. Translate the right-hand side. You can open it in Notepad or any other text editor. Then email the translated file to contact@aevumobscurum.com.


Translate the Messages

If you would like to translate the messages in AO to your own language (+country) please follow the instructions below.

0) Make sure nobody is already translating. Also, make sure the newest files are online to translate. => ask here in the forum.

1) Go to: http://www.aevumobscurum.com/original/download-tool/

2) Download:

• attesoro_1_6.jar
• MessagesBundle.properties
• PayPalBundle.properties
• Optional: MessagesBundle_??.properties + PayPalBundle_??.properties

3) Run attesoro_1_6.jar (double click the file) and open the MessagesBundle.properties file from within attesoro.

4) Create a new translation for language (and country). E.g. "it" for Italien. Or continue an existing incomplete translation.

5) Translate the given texts.

Optional 6) For testing on ... copy your MessagesBundle_??.properties to

• Windows: "C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\aevumobscurum-or2game\scenario\MessagesBundle_??.properties"
• Linux: "~/aevumobscurum-or2game/scenario/MessagesBundle_??.properties"
• Macintosh: "~/aevumobscurum-or2game/scenario/MessagesBundle_??.properties"

Optional 7) Rename the file so it uses _xx. E.g. Rename it from MessagesBundle_de.properties to MessagesBundle_xx.properties

Optional 8) Launch AO

Optional 9) Choose the L33t Language (skull language icon)

Optional 10) Your language file should be shown now.

Optional 11) If done, email the MessagesBundle_??.properties and PayPalBundle_??.properties files to contact@aevumobscurum.com


Translate the Manual

We are talking about the in-game manual here!

0) Make sure nobody is already translating. Also, make sure the newest files are online to translate. => ask here in the forum.

1) Go to: http://www.aevumobscurum.com/original/download-tool/

2) Download: Manual.html or Manual_??.html depending if you are translating from scratch or extending/updating an existing translation.

3) Translate! IMPORTANT: leave the <strong>, <br>, <p>, <h1>, ... tags in there! Otherwise the formatting will look really bad!

4) If done, email the Manual.html file to contact@aevumobscurum.com



Note on Translations

You will get a free account upgrade/extension if you go through the hassle of translating AO if you desire - just bug me about it! Thanks!

sorry, I feel really ****.

i'd like to contribute the italian translation for the website. but do i know if someone is doing it already?

nobody is working on an Italien tranlations for the web site! You want to do it?

yeah sure

Great! There is just 6 pages to translate (probably Babelfish can help?):
-> First six pages linked on the left-hand side menu!

Also, can you translate the "PayPalBundle.properties" at:
http://www.aevumobscurum.com/original/download-tool/

Just email the files to me

come on man, i don't really need babelfish for english... i just use it sometimes when speaking spanish

anyway -- just sent to the email provided as msn contact

Great work I will upload it within the next 1-2 weeks!

Your account has full membership status now

thanks man

hey,
i was wondering, is anyone translating the game into russian?

nope - It can be all you

hmm
i'll try it, but it won't be done anytime soon, and btw, which part should trasnlate first? i was thinking the manual?

If you could do the MessagesBundle.properties_?? file, that would be great! The manual won't show if the messages are not translated first to Russian!

ok, so here i am, offering my help. let me know if and what i can translate into german.

i guess i will also creat some maps, i know photoshop quite well and as i live in taiwan i would like to add some chinese/taiwanese/asian maps....

i also speak a bit chinese but i guess it is a bit to early to do translations...hehe

Is there no German version? Strange

The German translation is little out of date! Please download the MessagesBundle files (the newest versions are online) and go ahead with the translation! Thanks.


great
