Translations:How to Translate a Game/5/en

From Echoes of Angmar
  • FR and DE are fully supported by source game client, but have some major issues to fix (some text strings, voiceover and map images)
  • RU and ZH are not supported by default (you have to fully change text strings, voiceover, map images and videos)
  • Russian translation is based by earliest offical localization for version Book 14 (extracted from DVD in box version), but faithfully rewritten and fixed to fit with Book 11 (furthermore, supported some kind of Auction search using item names in Russian; work on this feature continues)
  • Chinese translation is based on offical localization for version Mines of Moria (found through Internet), but currently playable on Book 11 client (maps have been redraw, videos have official ZH subs, voiceover is EN as it used to be officially; rewriting continues)
  • Some non-original server-source messages don't support translation by game client (f.e. 'Echoes of Angmar' welcome message in chat window)
  • Auction search supports only English input (because of server architecture; currently only Russian version have alpha feature to fix it)
  • There is a font display issue between players using different local versions of the client (f.e. original EN/FR/DE client shows ??? instead of words in Russian/Chinese), however, chat links to items works properly if you put your mouse cursor on it
  • It's technically possible to add any non-official localization, but it will require a massive amount of work (f.e. using AI to translate 100 thousands of strings as being done with translation to Turkish)
