M. TRANSLATION OF MODS
Many of the used mods are possibly not available yet in your language. Hence, translation is very important and voluntary
translators are urgently searched.
.tra files
Translation of mods is very simple: Most of the mods include already a folder with one or several files with the ending
.tra in the source language (e.g., Language/English). Copy this folder and rename it into your language (e.g., Language/German).
Open the .tra files with a text editor and simply overwrite the text between the tildes "~" with your translation. Every
string within a dialog file begins with "@0 = ~", "@1 = ~" "@2 = ~" et cetera and ends in each case with "~".
NOTE: There is a limitation to the length of the strings of maximal 4096 characters. Longer strings will lead to crash if
the string is called.
In some texts the main character is addressed directly. Depending on whether the main character is male or female
the texts varies. These text variations are written one after the other, thus: @123 = ~I am the son of Bhaal.~ ~I am the
daughter of Bhaal.~
If sound references are given, it looks thus: @1234 = ~male dialog string~ [SOUND01] ~female dialog string~
[SOUND01] Both sound files can also be different.
Placeholder (token)
APPENDIX
In some strings place holders are used. These are replaced in the game with different variables. The texts between
the sharp brackets < > may be never translated.
Only in some foreign languages: If in a string the token cannot be applied because the sentence would not be grammatically
correct, for example, or a word should be at the beginning of a sentence but the token begins with a small
letter (e.g., ) the entries must be created in two variants, once as a male (given) string and once as a female
string.
Mostly the token refer to the character being spoken to. If is spoken about the main character in a conversation, must
be preceded "PRO_". Example: " is actually quite nice, even if is sometimes strange."
Only in some foreign languages: Other than in the English original string the token and can be used only in collocations because of the included declension!
