So you can copy these fonts to the mod you want to translate, but in this case your strings.tbl and tstrings.tbl files need to use the "Western (Windows 1252)" encoding, otherwise the special characters won't show up! Where are located the files to be translated? This mod uses specific fonts for languages with special characters, without using Unicode mode. If the Unicode mode is not possible for whatever reason, there is a possibility to copy the behavior of the fsport mod translations. If the mod uses a version prior to 19.0, then you will need to change the fonts used by the mod, and hope it doesn't break the mod. If there are errors, then the mod is not compatible and you will have to ask help from the authors of the mod. Once the unicode mode is enabled, simply run the mod and check if there is no error. Inside this file, you need to change/add the following line under '#GAME SETTINGS' section: vp file so you will have to extract it with the tools provided by the community.

How to create my own translations for other mods? Then browse the mod files and copy the translation files in the mod folder, keeping the same file tree.įor example for the mod Between the Ashes, copy the 'Between-The-Ashes\1.5.6\data' folder and its content to: %Knossos location%\FS2\BtA-1.5.6 after having installed the mod Between the Ashesįrom here you are ready to run your tests. Set the game in French language with the Knossos settings. Translations into other languages could also be included in this project.
I would be happy to welcome new translators or testers for translations in progress. If you are interested in taking part in this project, or if you just want to know more, you can contact me on the discussion tab of this project, or in the translation board of HLP forums. How to learn more about the project or to get involved? The main objective of this project is to translate as many mods as possible, not to make them better.
