Death to Spies - Moment of Truth Unofficial German Translation
 

According to statements of officials there will be no German localized
version of DtS Mot. This is why I decided to take this as a challange
for a new project.

I will post my progress from time to time in this thread. I don't know
if somebody is interested, but perhaps there are some German speaking
people here who can help me out with some advices or ideas.



OK let's start: Till now I translated the following texts strings from:

• UI/HUD
• Main- and ingame-menus
• Messages

I also made german letters in main menu available. The original font
just showed cyrillic letters instead of German umlauts.

You can see of the current state of work on the attached pics below:

Heeelllppp....

I wanted to put subtitle text to final cutscene, but the engine ignores the
command.

I used:
CutScene.LoadSubTitles(ns, "Levels\\Rolik_Addon\\rolik_8.shad" );

and put it into function "Level.InitRolik_8()" like the other cutscenes do,
but nothing happens....

Can anymbody help me?

Did it work with the others?

Cutscenes 2-6 have already subtitles. They are shown if you select
Russian as cutscene audio lang.

Yes the others work well...
