Translations

[siread]

If you would like to translate New Star Grand Prix please have a look at the txt file attached. You will need Excel or something that can read Unicode files in spreadsheet form. Anyone that supplies a new translation will receive a license key to one New Star game.

To Load
- From Excel open the NSGP_TransFile.txt file and choose "Delimited". Next.
- Select Delimiters "Tab". Next.
- Select "General". Finish.

To Add Your Language
- Translate the words/sentences in column B into a new column.
- Don't worry about the language code (Tag) or nation number (Tag_NationId) as I will update these. Just put your nation name instead.
- Please do not change words that start with the $ character. These will be replaced by driver names/track names/items etc by the game.

To Save
- File > Save As... > Unicode .txt.
- Change the file name so it includes your language name.
- Attach the updated txt file to this thread.

This is the list of characters that can be safely used (otherwise some race text or screen messages might not display correctly):
(),-+\/0123456789:ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ`abcdefghijkl mnopqrstuvwxyz€�ŠŽ��šœ�žŸÀÁÂÃÄÅÆÇÈÉÊËÌÍÎÏÐÑÒÓÔÕÖ×Ø ÙÚÛÜÝÞßàáâãäåæçèéêëìíîïðñòóôõö÷øùúûüýþÿ

-Change the text to your language.
-Leave any words/letters that are followed by a / character.
-Save as UTF-8 format.


Any questions, just ask. :)

[ravezz]

Great, I'll work on the german translation right now. :)

[Thor]

Si, maybe you could leave the instruction for people using languages with special characters ;)
Or maybe it's enough just to translate, and you'll be the person who'll convert it?
I'll try to do it until tomorrow evening ;)

[ravezz]

Si, maybe you could leave the instruction for people using languages with special characters ;)
Or maybe it's enough just to translate, and you'll be the person who'll convert it?

Interesting for me, because of the "ä", "ö", "ü" and so on in German..?

[Thor]

Si, look at the lines 110 and 111 ;)

[Cookie Monster]

Yeah, can we use letters like á, ã, ô, í, ì, õ, â, à, é, è, ê, û, ú and ù?

[Thor]

I have a few questions:

1) Names of sponsors like sports car, wrist watch:
Will they be used only in some sentences informing that they're offering you a contract or they'll be listed like in NSS4 (if they'll be listed I'll have to shorten their names since there were not too much place to display "firma zegarmistrzowska" :P)
2. Rest day - it means "spend your day relaxing" or what? I haven't noticed it anywhere...
3. GRID, like Malaysia Grid - what the heck GRID means here? :P

And generally that's it ;) The rest of csv file is.. translated... gee, I didn't expect I'd do it so quickly :)
PS: I've converted it with Builder and... everything works fine, but during the race Polish letters are not displayed (casino, money, teams are displayed properly, but not in the race screen, I mean during racing... - no, no, there are no mistakes like @^ instead of ą or $%$ for ż, but these letters are disappearing, like in the case of LAP - instead of Okrążenie there's Okrenie ;-) ).

[siread]

1) The sponsor types are only announced in a message "You have been offered a wrist watch sponsorship." So no need to shorten.

2) Rest Day = A day of rest.

3) The grid is the starting line up. Not sure how to explain it properly but it means all the positions on the track for the cars at the start of the race.

The race uses a simplified font for speed. You can use unicode letters everywhere else. The Race text is limited to European (latin) characters. I'll have to get a full list of all the race text but it's the text like "Lap time", "Best lap", "Record lap", "Controls", "Pit Stop"...

[Thor]

Yea, there are also things like "Up" (Arrow up in Polish Strzałka w górę) etc.
However, I'm sending you 3 types of .csv file - the first, divided by ;'s, the second one are columns with only Polish translation (I recommend you to use it, copy, paste, since some lines tend to go left and mingle with English text), and one with everything in columns. It's your choice which one you'll choose :) If you wish, I can tamper with it tomorrow or on Wed and change the text displayed during racings into the text without Polish characters.
If you wish, I can translate the help files, but no sooner than on the next Monday :)
Cheers!

[Cookie Monster]

I suppose Latin would include the accented characters i've mentioned above?

[Martin]

I'll work on Brazilian Portuguese (it's almost done)

A few questions.
The following words I don't know if are noun or verb (or sometimes adjective).
Bet
Brake
Clear
Continue
Deal
Finish
Balance

Other questions:
Home = your house or "begining" (like front page)
B109 and B110 refer to NSS4 - I assume it should be NSGP?
B115 and B116 - they are both "continue" which is verb and which is noun?
Down = down key?
What are "Ground Tiles"?
Hit/Hold are for BlackJack?
Which are the clear/execute/help/screen/select keys? (I understand its about the keyboard, these are not regular keys, are they?)
What is the racing line?
What are the Joy Axis and Joy Hat?
In what phrase is 'handling' used?
In what context is 'skip time' used? And 'All time'?

[Nando]

Martin, I recommend you drop a PM to Cookie Monsters, as he is doing the Portuguese-PT translation (I believe).

[maivia87]

I will do it in italian :)

[Tom_VDB]

And this is the dutch one.

Obviously dutch is an english infected language :D, so you might see some words not being translated.

[siread]

Thanks Tom. I've added the help files now, so if you're interested in that... :D


I'll work on Brazilian Portuguese (it's almost done)

A few questions.
The following words I don't know if are noun or verb (or sometimes adjective).
BetVerb (Place a bet)
BrakeVerb (controlling the car)
ClearVerb (clear the bets places)
ContinueVerb (continue to next screen)
DealVerb (deal the cards)
FinishHmm, I think this just labels the results screen after a race. So in the sense "the end of the race". So noun? Never was very good at English language.
BalanceNoun (the balance of your accounts)

Other questions:
Home = your house or "begining" (like front page) Like the Home Page on a website.
B109 and B110 refer to NSS4 - I assume it should be NSGP? Oops. You are correct, well spotted.
B115 and B116 - they are both "continue" which is verb and which is noun?Whoops, there should only be one line for Continue really. It just means, continue to the next screen.
Down = down key? Yes
What are "Ground Tiles"?These are the grass, water tiles used in the editor.
Hit/Hold are for BlackJack?Yes
Which are the clear/execute/help/screen/select keys? (I understand its about the keyboard, these are not regular keys, are they?)You can leave these as they are. I don't think it matters.
What is the racing line?Again, this is in the editor. It is the line the com cars will follow.
What are the Joy Axis and Joy Hat?Analogue joysticks have an X axis (left/right) and a Y axis (up/down). There are also other axis' on some controllers. The hat is a special control on top of some flight sim joysticks. Don't worry too much about this word.
In what phrase is 'handling' used?How well the car can "handle" corners/bends.
In what context is 'skip time' used? And 'All time'?"Skip Time" means, finish the Qualifying session (skip to the end.) "All time" refers to the points that a driver/team have collected during their entire career/history.

Hope that helps. :)

[Sida79]

Awesome. I'll do a croatian translation, even if it turns out to be just for my enjoyment :)

[markohladnik]

I'll go for the Slovene translation in two weeks when I have some more time (if no one else beats me to it).

P.S. Jugofriki :P

[maivia87]

the italian translation is done i have send the zip file in pm to Simon

[ravezz]

What the hell does "Nudge" mean? :)

[makelw]

I guess no other Finn is willing to take the job, but I'll take it!

[siread]

What the hell does "Nudge" mean? :)
That is used on the Slot Machine. You can "Nudge" the reels to the next fruit.


And thanks Maivia. :)

[maivia87]

And thanks Maivia. :)

;) no problem

[makelw]

Hmm, what's the deal with "Apply", cell 42

[siread]

That means "Apply the changes to the settings". Confirmation of your option settings.

[siread]

I am adding 2 new lines to the csv file. Please can you put them at the bottom of your translation file or post them in this thread.

1) Congratulations! You won the championship! You have been awarded $item in prize money.
2) The season is over. You have been awarded $item in prize money.

[makelw]

That means "Apply the changes to the settings". Confirmation of your option settings.

I assumed smth like that. Also, can I put extra letters after $item2 to make it more understanding in Finnish. ie "in $item2"="$item2ssa"

Bothering with edit.. What does "romps home" mean?

[ravezz]

So here is my German Translation.

The two new lines are inserted, too ;)

Hope you can use it,

Domi

[Thor]

I am adding 2 new lines to the csv file. Please can you put them at the bottom of your translation file or post them in this thread.

1) Congratulations! You won the championship! You have been awarded $item in prize money.
2) The season is over. You have been awarded $item in prize money.

Item here is only amount (like 364) or amount of i.e. dollars (like 364$ )? [I'll check if I understood the translation in csv files correctly].

[siread]

Yes, only the prize money will replace $item in the new lines.

[Martin]

what is the pit lane? More specifically, what is the pit?

[siread]

The Pit refers to the garages where the cars get repaired.
The pit lane is the track along the garages.

[Cookie Monster]

Martin, I recommend you drop a PM to Cookie Monsters, as he is doing the Portuguese-PT translation (I believe).

Just to clear any confusion, I'm not doing anything, was just asking about the accented characters because I might do the Portuguese (Portugal) translation... by the way Si, I can't see some characters on the first post in this thread, can an image with them be released so we can all see them?

[siread]

Here you go...

[makelw]

Dare I ask... in help file "u/Deal" I'm able to translate Deal-word? Or do you mean I don't translate anything related to /.

I guess u means underline, so I'm able to translate deal and stake and those words which are underlined in the Questionmark in the game

[ravezz]

PS: I've converted it with Builder and... everything works fine, [...]

I need BLFBuilder to use my translated .csv file in the game, right?
Where can I find it, google didn't help?
Or should I wait for Si's version?

[siread]

BLFBuilder was supplied with the NSS4 translations. It's a bit convoluted getting some things to work though.

The German translation will appear in v1.04. Coming soon. :)

Thanks, then I'll wait. ;)

[Martin]

Here is the Brazilian Portuguese translation (with the 2 extra lines).

I used br as the language code. Don't know if it's correct though.

Si, if you could please send me the game with the translation, it would help. I would go around the screens to see if there's anything looking weird.

Cheers!

[makelw]

And here's mine. There are the extra two phrases in csv as you wanted.

[siread]

Try this blf. It contains all the languages submitted so far (except Polish). Put it in the New Star Grand Prix/Languages folder.

Breton is actually the Brazilian language - this will be correct in the new version. :)

[ravezz]

Perfect, I'll check if everything is correct with my translation.

Edit:

I corrected a few mistakes already, only little problems left:

1. On the teams profile site where the abilities of the teams are listened is still written 'top speed', which means 'Höchstgeschwindigkeit' in German. But 'top speed' isn't listened in the TransFile..?

2. In the race, the translations for 'fastest lap' and 'last lap' ('Schnellste Runde' and 'Letzte Runde') are too long for the frame, they overlap it. The only solution without enlarging the frame is, in my opinion, to use abbrevations (for example: 'Schnellste' and 'Letzte'). It wouldn't cause a lack of understanding, I think. What do you think, Si?

[siread]

I've made the text size smaller for the lap times, bit it still overlaps, so I'll use the shorter text. :)

[siread]

Martin, how do you say "Brazilian" in native Br-Portugeuse? I mean, German = Deutsch, Italian = Italiano, Brazilian = ?

[makelw]

Is it normal that I don't have any help-pages when I choose Finnish?

[siread]

You need to put your help files in a folder called 'fi' in the Languages folder, but for some reason it's not working. I will sort this out today.

[ravezz]

So here's a corrected version of my german translation (sorted out 2 or 3 things caused by correlation mistakes and for example the 'medieval castle', which is 'Mittelalterliches Schloss' in German but doesn't fit into the frame, too, so i changed it to 'Burg', which means about the same).

[Martin]

Martin, how do you say "Brazilian" in native Br-Portugeuse? I mean, German = Deutsch, Italian = Italiano, Brazilian = ?

Brazilian Portuguese = Português Brasileiro

Is "Lap Record" = fastest lap in the race?

I'll try to add a corrected version today. I noted some stuff remained in English, even though I've translated it. And there's also some stuff that was not in csv, so it remained in English. I've listed what I've found below.

List of thing that are in the csv and where translated but appear in english in the game:
- "Welcome to New Star Grand Prix. Each week you have a few days to practice the current track. Qualifying takes place on Saturday which determines the starting positions for the race which is on Sunday. There are 17 races in a season."
- "Qualifying will now take place. All cars will be trying to set the fastest lap time. Qualifying is used to determine the starting order of the main race which takes place on Sunday."
- Skip Time
- "It's race day! To win the race you will need to monitor your damage; fuel and tyre wear and make pit stops at the right time. Good luck!"
- Quit (when I press ESCAPE during a race)

List of things missing in the csv:
- Top Speed
- All the country names
- All the nationalities
- "If you have purchased a license key please copy it from your email then press the paste button. To buy a license click the Buy Now button. If you get a message 'This license key is invalid' try holding the Left Control key down when you click Continue."
- In the editor, after I choose what kind of object I'll add, it shows on top right corner words like: Base Level, Track Level, Objects...
- Page1, Page2, etc. in the editor

[siread]

Is "Lap Record" = fastest lap in the race?

Yes, it is the best lap time recorded. It may have happened in a previous season or in practice though, not just in the current race.

[makelw]

I found a few things that weren't changed. In teams-section where is info of the drivers, the birthday (10. aug 1988) is still in English. In Qualify session when you press Escape, there is "Skip Time" in English, same during the actual race there is "Quit".

You'll get soon the corrected version of the CSV-file. There were quite a few errors that I made :).

[Thor]

Hi. Text translations (I recommedn to copy and paste from only Polish versions).

+

1) Congratulations! You won the championship! You have been awarded $item in prize money.

Gratulacje! Wygrałeś mistrzostwa! Otrzymujesz $item w gotówce.

2) The season is over. You have been awarded $item in prize money.

Sezon się zakończył. Otrzymujesz $item w gotówce.

---
Hope it'll work at last ;)
There's also blf file, which works fine. (However, Skip Time seems to be moved)
(BTW: I shortened phraes Ostatnie Okrążenie (Last Lap) to Ost Okrążenie and Najlepsze Okrążenie (Best Lap) to Najl Okrążenie. They were blocking out the positions on the screens, but they should be understood perfectly.

[Martin]

Yes, it is the best lap time recorded. It may have happened in a previous season or in practice though, not just in the current race.

I don't really understood.

Lap record appears in the Teams Screen, for the drivers.
It's like this:
_________Season__Career
Races______1_______1
...
Lap Records_-_______0

I raced the first race and all players have - as lap records in the season. Shouldn't one of them have 1? That's why I'm a bit confused of what it means.

[siread]

That means how many tracks that they have set the best time on.

[makelw]

I hope there won't occur any errors anymore. I hope it's pretty close 100%

[Thor]

I found some things to be changed! (a really minor ones, but when for ex. 4,5 Laps when it comes to fuel is displayed, there turned out that Polish characters must be removed from it...). If it's not a problem, could you change it? (there are also 2 sentences that needed tiny corrections...). I'm sorry for inconvenience, but such things just happen :( I just missed them, but now it's perfect :(

[ravezz]

Regrettably, there's another mistake in my translation, too. :(

I mixed up 'best lap' and 'fastest lap' so that there's still 'Schnellste Runde' written in the frame in the race while there's 'Schnellste' at the main page now. :redface:

Sorted it out, so again an update. I'm sorry Si, I hope this translation update for v1.05 will be the last. :)

[Martin]

Here's the corrected version of the Brazilian translation.

Si, I think you should change the language name from Brazilian to "Português Brasileiro" or if this is too long, "Português - BR"

After all, there's no such language as "Brazilian"

[dfajar2]

I think I finished the spanish translation. I'd appreciate if any spanish speaker checks it.;)

[siread]

Nice one! :)

[Sida79]

I'm close to finishing the croatian one :P but some things will surely come out way off without seeing them in proper context (I've been translating lots of english for work purposes through my career...)

Si, is there a way for me to incoroporate it in the game myself in order to check it?

[Rocko]

Hi all. Turkish language file is here...

[dfajar2]

In my previous post I didn't include the help files and now I noticed how the terms in the files are linked. So avoid my previous post and file.
Don't you think that as stimulus you should offer license keys to the poeple that are helping you???:P
Just kidding.........
.....
No really:pray:

[siread]

I completely forgot to mention. Anyone that supplies a translation can have 1 code for any game they like. Just send me a PM with your request. :)

[Cookie Monster]

I'll claim the Portuguese (Portugal) translation :)
I suppose the Portuguese (Portugal) tag is PT?

edit 19:54 -> What does All Time in line 10 mean?

Si, please check line 73, a phrase is in column A and B :)
Also, check lines 110 and 111 -> NSS4 reference
Line 108 -> phrase divided in columns A, B, C, D

[ravezz]

I completely forgot to mention. Anyone that supplies a translation can have 1 code for any game they like. Just send me a PM with your request. :)

Are you joking? :blimey::)

[Albiback]

Hi,

If you want, I can try to translatle this game in french language.

I say "try" because I wanted to translate New Star Soccer and it was very difficult then I had to give up.

New Star Grand Prix seems to be easier to translate.

[Cookie Monster]

What does Current (line 127) refer to?

[Albiback]

When I open NSGP_transfile, I just have texte in column A. Have I to translate it in french and write it in column B ?
When there is two times the same words, have I to write it two times ? For example: Line 7:
Accelerate,Accelerate => Accélérer, Accélérer
?

[Cookie Monster]

Nope, you have to write like Accelerate,Accelerate,Accélérer

[Cookie Monster]

Line 170, what does Hit mean?
Line 171, what does Hold mean?

Lines 282 and 283, what keys are those?

[Albiback]

Ok,

Thank you, Cookie Monster !

I try to translate it this afternoon, because now, I have to go.

[Sida79]

Line 170, what does Hit mean?
Line 171, what does Hold mean?


I'd say those are for Black Jack in the casino. Hit means you want the dealer to give you another card and hold means you'd like to hold to the cards you've been dealt up to that point.

[Cookie Monster]

thanks :)

lines 340 to 342: what do they mean?

[roar]

I've made a Danish translation. Is there any way that I can test it in the game before I send it to SI?

[siread]

If you upload your current csv files I'll create a new blf for the game so you can all test your translations.

[siread]

I have updated the csv file in the first thread. Please use this one from now on. It is virtually the same but contains 2 extra lines and the translations provided for v1.04 (except Polish which is Unicode).

[markohladnik]

Oomph, just done a Slovene .csv translation based on the old file (and included the two extra lines) ... sorry.
You're getting the whole pack once the help files are done, if that's ok.

[Sida79]

Oomph, just done a Slovene .csv translation based on the old file (and included the two extra lines) ... sorry.

I'd like to see it as well, perhaps steal a few ideas about sentence phrasing, eh? :D

[markohladnik]

Sure, dear neighbour :) PM!
Working on the help files now.

Edit: well, apprently I don't have the option to attach files to private messages.

THIS IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION, everyone! To be used by Croatians only :P

[Albiback]

Hi,

Here is my try for the french translation. (Just for the game, the help files will follow)

It's not perfect because some english words can have many translations in french.
I have to see these words during the game to change them.

I hope it will be ok for you.

Al

[Albiback]

Here is the file.

[Cookie Monster]

I have updated the csv file in the first thread. Please use this one from now on. It is virtually the same but contains 2 extra lines and the translations provided for v1.04 (except Polish which is Unicode).

I started doing the Portuguese (Portugal) translation yesterday with the old file, what should I do? Will I have to start over? I'm nearly done :(

[Albiback]

Here are the HelpFiles.

As for the file for the game, it isn't perfect, but I will make it better when I'll see mistakes during the game.

[siread]

I started doing the Portuguese (Portugal) translation yesterday with the old file, what should I do? Will I have to start over? I'm nearly done :(

No, it's only a few lines at the bottom. What you've done so far will paste straight onto the new csv.

I will get the new blf file ready tomorrow morning. :)

[ravezz]

Currently working on the German Help texts.

I'm sorry that I didn't do that earlier.

[roar]

Here's the Danish translation.
I'll do the help files sometime in this week.

[siread]

Ok, here is the up to date blf file. Just put it in C:/Program Files/New Star Grand Prix/Languages and run the game to test your language.

There were some gaps in a few languages so please check the attached txt file.

- From Excel open the txt file and choose "Delimited". Next.
- Select Delimiters "Tab". Next.
- Select "General". Finish.

- If you update anything do Save As... > Unicode .txt.
- Add your language name to the file name.
- Attach updated file to this thread.

Anyone that supplied a translation and hasn't had a free code yet, send me a PM with your request.

[markohladnik]

Oops, one "biggish" mistake/misunderstanding: in the .txt file I see you list as Croatian (HR) my draft Slovene translation which I have posted only for reference (to be used by Sida79, the Croatian member of the forum - as our two Southern Slavic languages are related). It's useful nevertheless :) soon, I will revise the Slovene column of the .txt file, and fill the gaps.

[ravezz]

Little notice, Si:

It's still the older German Version. Probably you didn't update it with the new one I posted on 04-01-2009, 07:23 PM?

[roar]

Is there any deadline?
If not, I will put up the helpfiles and the corrected version of the Danish language file wedneysday.

[siread]

Sorry ravezz. Try these versions.

No deadlines really, but I'll have a new version out at some point.

[Thor]

Ok, here's the latest (without bugs) verison.

And don't forget about that:

1) Congratulations! You won the championship! You have been awarded $item in prize money.

Gratulacje! Wygrałeś mistrzostwa! Otrzymujesz $item w gotówce.

2) The season is over. You have been awarded $item in prize money.

Sezon się zakończył. Otrzymujesz $item w gotówce.

Cheers!

[dfajar2]

I imported the files in the game. The files were updated. I noticed that the help files didn't accept any special characters. Did anyone have the same problem?

[Thor]

Well, in case of Polish characters it is enough to write files in UTF format (you can choose it after choosing save as - try to save it as UTF, if it doesn't work, as Unicode... maybe it'll help).

[Albiback]

Hi Siread,

I send you the files for the french translations with my first corrections.

I've changed the Text document and the .blf file.

I've also done some changes in the help files.

[Albiback]

Here are the files

[Albiback]

Pfffffffffff

The first file isn't the correct file.

I can send the other. I hope you will be ok with the Text file.

[dfajar2]

Well, in case of Polish characters it is enough to write files in UTF format (you can choose it after choosing save as - try to save it as UTF, if it doesn't work, as Unicode... maybe it'll help).

Thanks. UTF works fine. Unicode was a mess. Here are the help files translated in Spanish.

[Sida79]

Sorry if I contributed to the confusion Marko... my translation would be done already but I've managed to lose the file and am too busy to go at it again at this point, luckily it's not really important :)

[Rocko]

Updated TXT file for Turkish characters...

[dfajar2]

Fixing some terms and grammar.

[roar]

I know I promised an update yesterday but I was sick yesterday and had symptoms of the Ebola virus. Fortunately I survived and I have translated the help files and corrected the in-game translation.

[siread]

I've added a few more lines for the new version. This is the current txt but there may be a few more additions to come. You may get some idea about the new features. :)

Thanks for the hard work everyone!

[markohladnik]

So, here are the Slovene files, fully up-to-date. Shouldn't be any problem with the formats, but let me know.

[dfajar2]

I'm done, i'm done, i'm done, i'm done, i'm done.:dance:
I am exciting for the next NSGP update. And "KERS" ..... nice touch.
Great work!

[Cookie Monster]

I am lost; I started my translation 2 files ago and don't know what to do, what am I supposed to do now? continue with the old file or create a new one? :confused:

[Thor]

New phrases:

Base level - Grunt
Track level - Tor
Objects - Obiekty
CheckPints - Check Pointy
Racing Lane - Linia Wyścigu
Pit Lane - Pas Pit Stopu
Walls - Ściany
Gear - Bieg (if you mean gears changed during driving)
Throttle - Przepustnica (if you mean a part of the car)
KERS - KERS
Turbo - Turbo
Speedometer - Prędkościomierz (if it's diplayed during the racing, Predkosciomierz, without Polish characters)
Use Mod - Użyj Moda

---

It should work fine.
In the file you gave us the Polish translation is a bit outdated - use the last file I pasted here (with help file), please. :)

[makelw]

What do you exactly mean by Base or the whole Base level :)?
What did you Thor think when you put the Polish word? And also what's it with Mod in the last phrase??

[Thor]

You mean what I thought while translating this Base? Well, first of all I checked the Editor and saw when it appears. It appears when you put grass, so it concerns the "soil", "earth" [I mean Base Level]. Track level appears when you work on, as name says, track - so, I used only Polish "track" [tor], since in Polish translation of the whole phrase would be obscure...

Mod is mod (at least this word in Polish is a borrowing; yea, we do have something like "tryb", but "mod" is also popular). I think that Si is planning adding some mods (like changing F1 cars into Indy cars, or something).

And a message for Si - NAME is used while wiriting your name and naming a map. Hmm, these are two different things.... and now it looks strange in Polish ;)

[makelw]

Thanks a lot Thor :). Yea we have some borrowed words. Mod is "modaus" translated to Finnish though we have quite a tricky language so it would appear in different places.

Base level - Alusta
Track level - Radan alusta
Objects - Objektit
CheckPints - Check Pontit
Racing Lane - Ajolinja
Pit Lane - Varikon ajolinja
Walls - Seinät
Gear - Vaihde -- If you mean just one gear, like the first gear, otherwise if you mean the whole system of gears then it's Vaihteisto
Throttle - Kaasu (is this just a throttle or to throttle?)
KERS - KERS
Turbo - Turbo
Speedometer - Nopeusmittari
Use Mod - Käytä modia

[Thor]

Thanks a lot Thor :)

The pleasure was mine ;)

[macio]

New phrases:

Racing Lane - Linia Wyścigu
Throttle - Przepustnica (if you mean a part of the car)




I think that "Optymalny tor jazdy" is more suitable for racing lane, but it could be too long. Also, throttle is "Gaz".

[Thor]

Yep, it would be too long and, in fact, "optymalny" wasn't mentioned in the English version so there's no sense in creating something from nothing, especially if it's obvious ;)
Throttle is problematic since Simon hasn't mentioned what he exactly meant [Makelw also is not sure].

[macio]

I think the point is not to translate every single word, but the sense of whole english sentence, thats why I proposed to use "optymalny tor jazdy", which is more natural form, and it is in use in conversational polish, and "linia wyscigu" is not.
And I'm pretty sure that SI means Throttle as a "Gaz" ;)

[Thor]

I think both are understandable - it doesn't matter what is more natural in conversation, since written language is a far cry from spoken language. I'm not saying you're wrong since your version is good, but I will defend mine which is brief and that was the point ;)
And if we talk about throttle, that's why I added some information in brackets, hoping that Si would explain to us what he had meant ;)

[roar]

With the newest word additions.

[siread]

Throttle will be used as a label on the new speedometer. Throttle and Brake will be highlighted when you accelerate or brake.

[Cookie Monster]

I am lost; I started my translation 2 files ago and don't know what to do, what am I supposed to do now? continue with the old file or create a new one? :confused:

Somebody please answer as my free time will go away next Tuesday :)

[Thor]

Macio's guessing was correct - throttle -> "Gaz" (in Polish) [no, it's not about petrol ;) ]

[markohladnik]

In Slovene, then, change BRAKE -> ZAVORA (i.e. noun, not verb). Thanks :)

[maivia87]

These are the new translated phrases in italian!


Base Level --> Livello Base
Track Level --> Livello Circuito
Objects --> Oggetti
CheckPoints --> CheckPoints
Racing Line --> Linea di Guida
Pit Lane --> Pit Lane
Walls --> Muri
Gear --> Marcia
Throttle --> Acceleratore
KERS --> KERS
Turbo --> Turbo
Speedometer --> Tachimetro
Use Mod --> Usa Mod

Need some help Cookie Monster? I'll gladly help you with what i can.

[Dan88]

I made Estonian translation and wrote it instead of Italian language.
Hope you can edit it into your system.

All the best, waiting for my key :dance:. Name: Daniel Raissar

[makelw]

I don't think pea's in need of linguistic help. If you, pea, mean what you should do in which order? First you translate the csv file, all the words, then all the help files. If I'm right Si has updated the csv file as the current one, so you wouldn't add any lines by yourself. Those 13 new lines which some have translated in here might not be in the csv file, but if you do it in the csv file, you should add them at the bottom.

Si, would you correct if I'm lost, thank you :).

[bazik]

I don't think pea's in need of linguistic help.


Somebody please answer as my free time will go away next Tuesday :)

i offered to help since he posted he has no free time, i did not imply or suggest he needed linguistic help.
Anyway, if Pea/CM wants a hand, i can help.

[makelw]

Okay, so it's the order I gave (for you then, bazik). I hope you two get the job done :)

[siread]

Hey guys, there is a new beta version 1.05. This is the translation file and blf being used in that version so please check it out and update your language.

[makelw]

Here's the few new lines

[maivia87]

this is the new translated file

Si, would you correct if I'm lost, thank you :).

So, seeing as I have started the translation with an old CSV file, it's okay to continue with this one as long as I add the new lines?

I could use some help yeah :) I've translated the CSV till line 339 so maybe I can finish the CSV while you do the help files, please? And then we'll have to decide who gets the code. Maybe we should PM each other to take care of this, seeing as you are from Portugal too.

[markohladnik]

Here's the new updated file for 1.05 for Slovene (si).

IMPORTANT My translation is listed as Croatian (hr) in the game, with the flag and everything, please fix that :)

[makelw]

So, seeing as I have started the translation with an old CSV file, it's okay to continue with this one as long as I add the new lines?

Yep you could add the new lines into the old one. Just download the latest transfile from this page sent by Si just to see what are the new lines, there are the 2nd newest and the newest lines at the bottom, so you don't need to start all over. Just copy the new English lines and translate in Portuguese.

[siread]

So should I delete the Croatian column?

[siread]

version updated and corrected of brazilian portuguese

Martin, this only has a few lines of text. Where's the rest??? :)

[markohladnik]

The thing is, the Croatian column is in fact Slovene :) there's been a bit of a mess with labeling. No Croatian translation whatsoever exists anywhere, although it's been discussed on the forum as a future possibility.

[ravezz]

I'm sorry I wasn't here for a few days, was a bit stressful.. :redface:

However, have the help files for the new game version changed?

Because I worked on the help texts for v. 1.04 and I'd like to know if I can continue with it.



Here's my translation file for v. 1.06b.

[siread]

Help files have changed very slightly. I think I added KERS info to the Options help screen.

[ravezz]

Sorry, but here's a better new version, I corrected one little mistake (not really important, but better now).

[Martin]

Martin, this only has a few lines of text. Where's the rest??? :)

It looks OK for me here... my file only had the brazilian portuguese lines.

anyway, i'll upload soon a version with the new words. Just need some help.

Boost = to boost your car or to use a boost

Fitted - where will this be used and under which context?

[ravezz]

Fitted - where will this be used and under which context?

If KERS is fitted in your car or not.

[makelw]

If KERS is fitted in your car or not.

Yea it comes when you're at the pit stop

[Albiback]

Hi Siread,

Here is the new version of the french translation with some corrections

Sorry to be so late, but I had and I have a lot of work.

Al.

[siread]

Nice one, thanks.

[hades]

Hi Si,
While I was using Turkish language, I saw some letters weren't shown properly. Could you send me language file to fix them? Thanks...

[hades]

I have fixed Turkish translation file because some characters not showed properly. Or maybe you can add support for some Turkish letters (ı, ğ, ş). If you can do that, there is no need to use this fixed language file.

P.S. Thanks to friend who translated the game in Turkish. He did a great job ;)

[siread]

Thanks Hades. I will sort this one out in the next update.

[hades]

You are welcome.

[siread]

Hi Hades. I just noticed that the Turkish characters are missing from your translation. Could you try saving the document as a Unicode Text File?

Thanks.

[maivia87]

In this .blf file I have update the italian translation

[Mithrandir22]

do you need spanish help files?

[siread]

Yes please! :)

[Mithrandir22]

Here you go.

[siread]

Great thanks. It will be in the next update. :)

[Aaponator]

I think that the Finnish translation is a little bit bad, so I think I might start improving it.

EDIT: The old translation is outdated, so I'll just make a whole new Finnish translation, instead of just improving the old one

[Aaponator]

Ok, I need to ask where do you use these words:

Check points
Clear
Deal
Skip time
Spin
Status
Upload time
Yourself


Can I do like this: "$item1 on täysin ylivoimainen $item2ssa!" or does it have to be like "$item1 on täysin ylivoimainen $item2 ssa!"?

[felipe1337]

If i could Understand your example i'd help you more, those words starting with $whatever
MUST be typed EXACTLY as original, if that's what you mean

[Aaponator]

If I want the game to display '*ITEM2*ssa', can I do like $item2ssa or does there have to be an empty space between $item2 and 'ssa'?

I hope you understand now :S

[felipe1337]

Ok, you put the string $whatever THEN SPACE 'text'

[Dinosamp]

Sorry, i can´t help you on that one. Just wait until someone more experienced check the tread and post a solution.
