No , what i've actually said is that one part of translation will be finished by the end of the week, but there's a lot more work to be done...

Hey guys, just pointing out my release while we wait on a full translate. It should allow people to try it out and maybe help in the process.

Thanks n enjoy

Hi guys,
I peeped in this forum by chance, but I would help with RedSands translation if it's required.
Im a native russian speaker and my english's good enough to give a precise meaning of dialogues/texts even though I can't make a Shakespear-like masterpiece.
Now, I don't know in what way my help can be applied so I'm ready to hear suggestions. For one, you can just post whole paragraphs in russian and I will give a translation. I can't translate everything cause I believe our craftsmen wrote A Lot there.
I passed Red Sands once myself, and I have a picture of quests-structure, though I haven't developed it myself.

Hi, your help would be appreciated.
In Red Sands there are three folders in "localization". Two of them: "other" and "rus_quest" are being translated by karabaya.
I just started translating "rus_chat" and, considering there's 184 files there and my "humble" russian, it's not going very fast.
If you wish to help, you could take a portion of files (for instance: from "rus_chat_1076788295_0660678793.lng" to "rus_chat_2084421464_0171086550.lng" ), and translate them.
You could always take more, or less files depending on how it suits you.

K, I got you
Found them files in question, will see how it goes at work tomorrow :p

2 things:
1) I leave all those system tags as they are? like I don't touch

chat_system_660678793_snap_6_answer_0=^?^

but only translate russian words that go after it or before the line end tag?

2) I've never done such stuff before. Any practical recomendations? Or do I just load files into a text editor, and replace the russian words?

On a sidenote, I've played only russian versions of KB, so I'm not familiar with standard english names and terms for stuff. Thus, my translation may be a bit different, but I hope it won't hurt. In the worst case, you will understand what I meant and replace my words with common.

Thanks for clarifying!

EDIT: Also, Grimeleven pointed out that there are some files: eng_chat_2084421464_0041400475.lng and rus_chat_2084421464_0041400475.lng that have similar text that you can copy and paste for the same labels in files. I'm not sure if you can entirely replace them, but if you want me to I can match up the ones that have already been translated in the retail version of crossworlds and send it for the translators to look at (if you haven't done so already?)

I can't really answer question 1 yet, but for 2 I would say any text editor of your choice.

EDIT: For question 1, you would include stuff after the line end tag <br> as well. I.E: you would translate all of this in chat_system_1383350787_snap_0_header_0=^?^

Однажды ко мне заглянул человек, назвавшийся Владом Вегетом. Ему так понравилось в моем заведении, что он вложил в развитие "Здорового Духа" просто огромные деньги! А вскоре после его ухода ко мне повалили клиенты, называвшие себя вегетанцами, последователями графа Вегета.<br>А сейчас мое заведение и образ жизни, который оно представляет, вошли в моду не только на Элоне, но и в других странах! Откуда только ни прибывают ко мне гости...

if that is what you meant?

[Glorfindel1982]

Well, as I said Im not familiar with all those formats. I think I understand your example.

To rephrase my previous post:

- I Leave all service symbols and words as they are. regardless of their place in text documents. <br> is a paragraph break or something, but it shouldn't matter for me.
- I just replace all russian phrases I meet as I look through files with english equivalents, and try not to damage file format. (by file format I mean those service symbols and words).

Thank you very much for your help, but I don't translate chat files, bladeking77 is translating these, so maybe you can help him with that
I've done same thing with quest files, there are 10 files that are basically same as the ones that already exist.
