Man of prey translation under way - need help

[_12]

Hey Milchknilch, check your PMs for details on what you can do to help.

And can anyone provide me with a link to any info on official English version? Google and Buka have failed me here and I seriously doubt it even exists.

I have mine offical english subtibles version from a magazine insert:
Play PC 1/2012

Thanks. I take it you didn't like this translation? Who made it? Was it official? Subtitles only, no voice?

[void1984]

Thank god, it was subtitles-only translation. That's much cheaper anyway.
It seems to be done by the game owner (Buka?), as a magazine like that don't do translations themselves, because of the costs. That's even more true, as it's an english translation, not a polish one.

My russian language skill is too low to play the russian version without trouble, but enough to clearly see that the translation is very dull. Original dialouges have more "live" in them.

If I knew where the dialogue files are located I could send them. That's a good base for translation.

Which version is this of? It'd seem that even the game UI has been translated. Tried to visit Buka's site, but no luck.

This is probably the same version void1984 got. Nice find, all the videos I've seen were from Russian version.

I also played the translated version after somone alerted me to its existence.
Its pretty good, considering the difficulty that translating russian has in it´s self.

All the UI and text is translated, some retarded things here and there but i understood everything. The russian voice is still there with english subs.

I really tried getting a hold a legal copy or any info but no dice.
BuKa directed me to a small polish publisher but they didnt give me any info.
Now, i really have to try to get a hold of that gaming mag it seems.

For those interested just google man of prey + prophet.
The box art seems very legit, even with a "games for windows live" seal on one version.
A small thing though, in my version i could not load grenade launchers.
Had to fix one of the item tables, the Vog nades were not translated.
The funny thing is, the german version of 7,62 had exactly the same mistake.
