    A letter from China funs

    Dear Team fusion group:

    I am a COD TF MOD fun from China, and we have a lot of friends who like your mod and also COD just like me, but you know Chinese are familiar with Chinese language, so it will be grateful if you can give us some guide for making a Chinese version. We all know that your team have being very busy on updating the TF MOD, so we can do the translate work, but need your help to insert the CHINESE language into your fantastic MOD.You know we are trying to let more people to know COD and your TF MOD, we believe that we can bring more friends to join us if we have a Chinese language MOD, or a Chinese language version.We also hope that your team and TF MOD will be better and better in the future, and bring us more surprise, thank you very much for your great effort and wait for your reply.

    Best regards

    Re: A letter from China funs

    Thanks for the PM and this post too. We need to have a look and see if the software supports the Chinese Character set. Appreciate please this is not a priority but it is something we can ha e a look at when and if time allows. Don't give up hope but if it can be done and we can find someone to do the translations it could happen.....just can't say yes or no at the moment.

    Cheers, MP

    Wow, this is cool Never thought there are people playing this game in China. Gr8 stuff. I can help you guys with translating and then mutual proofreading since I studied Chinese.
    But my question is what would need to be translated? The in-game chat? The text in the menu and options?

    Now we have more and more CLOD players in China, and more than 70 members in our QQ group.we believe CLOD will have more attractive if we have a Chinese language version.
    About the content of Chinese version, we think it would be great if it can include of all the menus, especially the control & plane menu, single mission,and the radar information in red which on the top of the screen when in game.
    Perhaps the sever message and chat message can not be translated in Chinese,otherwise we can not communicate with friends speaking English.
    We are also intrested to know that whether the Chinese version will be a patch that can be installed or we will get some methods so that we can modify ourselves,or any other form.
    Meanwhile, we all understand that TF group must be very busy on V5.0 updating, so all these issue can wait until you are free.
    Of course, these also depend on whether the COD can supports Chinese characters.
    Thanks for your concern and wait for your news.

    BTW, we welcome 卓群 to join our QQ group, here you will have a lot of Chinese friends who love CLOD.You just need to download a QQ.

    OK, I think I can translate that, but first I would need some help from Team Fusion members to somehow extract the text to be translated (or at least just a tiny bit for testing) and then check if we can put back in the translation (don't know if CLoD can display Chinese characters correctly). Is that possible?


    Thanks 4 the invitation, I will join soon

    Re: A letter from China funs

    What need be translate is only text files (no .DLL involved).

    This files are inside the folder $core\i18n\, inside game SFS files.

    You guys can extract this files from STEAM installed CloD version (no TF MOD installed) using Keygets.dll and add back after for test purpose as -MOD.

    Make a copy of the game inside SteamApps for other place for do this test, so no mess you normal copy.

    But this MOD will be not compatible with Team Fusion MOD.

    Hereafter if TF has interest and the game engine have no problem with Chinese character - with the above suggested test you guys will know - this translation maybe can be integrated to their MOD, as explained by Mysticpanda, err, Mysticpuma.

    The translations available in game besides English: French, Spanish, Czech... are bad done (probable using Rustran).
    Even the English have some errors, e.g the infamous "Afterburner" for Boost/WEP fixed in previous TF patch, or bad meaning like the "Toggle Selected Engine" - should be "Start Selected Engine" and other issues, like some words not in English.

    Sample of translation done be fan, for Portuguese-BR, until now not integrated to TF MOD.

    http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.co...ad.php?t=10750

    Mysticpuma

    What can be done - without additional work for Team Fusion is use the solution that MOD did for il-2'46.

    Make the folder i-18n accessible for users - they are only text files - this allow people do their own translation, and add to their own game copy, without be -MOD.

    During SoW development I ask the same for Oleg, they promise look with the programmer... and the rest... is history.

    Re: A letter from China funs

    Hi and thanks for your work on this

    So it looks like you have managed to add the Chinese language to the Sim, which is great news

    So the next thing to do is follow the steps you took to.change the intro text and do it with all the text. Once done, send it to us in a .rar file and we can send it to our coder to.add for v5.00 release. Then, once it comes out you'll have the option to choose Chinese

    Cheers, MP

    I see great opportunities here, boosting the online player number with 70 in a day, adding China into this world would like being adding a new world of possibilities. And with players from Australia online it should not be a problem . Man this is great news

    Re: A letter from China funs

    How you change the game language, in conf.ini

    culture=en-GB <<<<

    China is cn or zh-cn

    In the text files you add Chinese translation replacing English or add code for Chinese (as above), and at Chinese text after others?

    category key en ru cs FR de it pl es <<<< ?
    cockpit cockpit.Nil Nil Нуль Nula Zéro Null Nulla Zero Cero 零 <<<<?

    As the main menu "wpf.txt" was translated correct, seems the game engine/DLL recognize Chinese characters.

    I added Chinese translation replacing English before.

    I didnot find "culture=en-GB" in conf.ini,so i added it under the [core],then change it to "culture=zh-CN".

    the text file:

    category key en ru cs FR de it pl es zh
    cockpit cockpit.I_Altitude Altitude Высота Výška Altitude Höhe Quota Pułap Altitud 高度计

    Is that correct? but it didn't work,still English.I think that i didn't spell or put them correctly.

    Yes, I test there and if I add the 高度计 after other languages the game don't load the text from -mod folder, but load pictures modified.

    If I replace the English words with 高度计 the files is load, but is show only the box instead letters, as in your example, what is expected.

    What is curious is that in your case part of text, the menus are loaded correctly.

    Try adding the -debug in Laucher.xe shortcut, to see if the error is pointed.

    I doubt that where "culture=zh-CN" put is not correct,as other parameters under [core] are 0,1,2
    are u sure the spelling and where it should been insterted are all correct?
    I did as your way above but the menu cannot load Chinese translation either.Only replacing the English words is effective.

    Re: A letter from China funs

    A new language has to be added by TF but you can indeed test changing an existing one.
    What you shown on the cockpit instruments is what I was afraid of. It might need more than just adding a new language for non ASCII characters to show up there.

    Edit:
    In DirectX graphics, an image containing all possible characters is normally used in order to show text on screen. What I see complicated is creating an image with 10000 different characters

    I can mix English and Chinese in main menus - 2D interface in CloD - but in game all changes result in 。。。on pop-ups, HUD messages, or orders message,
    as Mr. "Escorredor de Macarrão" explained related with DirectX/3D Interface...
