How is the text organized? I think automatic translation does a good job nowadays, wasn't the fan manual translated that way?
Maybe, much of the text needs only to be copied pasted; let's assume we find enough volunteers who can split the work in several pieces, so maybe we can have an English version which is playable.

Can you tell us some of the features in Red Sands? When we know what we will have as an end product, there might be a bigger chance in finding volunteers.

You see, there are realy lot of text, there humor, sarcasms, jokes and some cultural references. I realy don't think, that google tramslate is cappable to outstand such a task.

As far as i know, literaturic translation of the campaingn costs about 300-350 usds. I guess, my free time costs much more.

Well then.

There about 15 new playable units, 6 unplayable enemy units, which can be met in the very end of the campaign. Each unit can gain expirience in battles, lvl4 rewards for hero. ultra-beholder Asmadeo, which gain exp in battle too and has it's own level-up system with various upgrades. About 30 new items, 5 companions, about 8 new item sets, new race bonuses for each race (like Adrenaline for Orcs in Orc's March). Huge all-new story which is tainted in main story-line (about 10 hrs of gameplay) with various quests (about 15). And this list is not even half fulled...

As i said already, we spent about 7 months to create this masterpiece.

Wow it`s allot of content, i like what i see here.
So you spend 7 months making this, we`ll give you 7 days to translate it to english and release that version for public OR . . . well there is nothing we can actually do but we would appreciate new mod playable in english
And question : how is individual unit exp related to enemy units ? Do they also advance during game, or all enemy stay on 1 lexp vl ? I referred to this in Adventure mod tread, since this `Red Sands` mod for KB looks allot like `In the wake of Gods` mod for Heroes of might & magic 3.

The advance of enemy is mastered by locations difficulty and somehow by your creatures expirience.

Well, it's almost a full add-on, as far as I can see. However, we don't need to translate everything, I think we need to translate only the parts which are an absolut necessity.
So, even if google translate isn't perfect, as long as we can understand the general idea, we can play the game.
I am willing to pay for this mod, I've read about it on the russian forum and it seemes very interesting.
