Translation template online

[Holy_Diver]

I've taken the liberty to setup a translation template here (http://www.swordofmoonlight.net/wp-print.php/ex/lang/ja_JP/LC_MESSAGES/Trismegistus/)

Tris is a little different in that the interface is liberally customized so I went to some length to reproduce all of that baked it into the template so any new translation will start with the Tris changes in English. I added some extra stuff which would remove the disembodied numbers from the interface and stripped out some stuff that should never appear in the game.

I'm not positive I got everything but fixes down the line are not a prob.


PS: I'm not nuts for puzzle/adventure games but the opening/atmosphere are really great. It seems like a universe that could have room for another adventure possibly of an entirely different kind. I did finish a few King's Quest games and Phantasmagoria once upon a time in my erstwhile youth. Damned if I can come up with another one...

EDITED: The actual directory is here (http://www.swordofmoonlight.net/wp-print.php/ex/lang/Trismegistus/) ...the link above is for Japanese translation in the hopes that some will do it and so to have at least one translation visible. I'd post the non-printer version of the link but IE is having difficulty with the theme here lately.

Btw, there is a string of weird text artifacts in one section like so...

I replaced the character with em in the translation template for appearances, however that won't work very well work if this text appears in the game. If it doesn't appear then I suppose the lines may as well be removed so to avoid unnecessary translation work. However I'd like to know myself what is actually in that place. I can't think of any reason Exgettext would generate that unless it's in the file itself.


EDITED: I thought we'd got Unicode working Todd??

I emailed Coffee last night. He thinks he will have time to look at this sometime in the coming weeks but this instant he can't catch a break for the business climate. I asked him to let any Japanese communities know they could cooperate effectively now.

I don't know if Todd is still planning to get a DD translation file up or bless his KF1 translation or not anymore.

It probably would not hurt to post a call for translators in whatever KF communities exist if anyone can do so.
