...and I've written, we found the subtitle preparations for videos, what we used to our Hungarian translation (it contains Hungarian video subtitles...)...so I think, there will be video-subtitles in the English version of the 'MoT'...

No I didn't mean the subtitles. I mean all strings like:

• Briefings
• Menu
• UI
• ToolTip
• etc..

If the file structure is like DTS then this will be no big deal

Briefings are plain text files with pseudo html. All other stuffs are
in binary format (SHADVS-file) but they are quite good to edit,
due to the fact the string lengths are known.

I did not understand you. Will there be a english version or not?

I think, there are around much the same texts in MoT and the original DtS.

In MoT:

- levels (only 7)
- during videos (only few - not too important - sentences)

+ conversations between NPCs (and between NPCs and us)
+ briefings ("VCH-communication" texts)
+ help and clothes-info texts

Files structures are very similar to DtS'

...and I think, it will be an OFFICIAL English translation, according to Anatoly's words...

Great then I going to translate it to German And bug fixes of course ^^

Cannot beleive we are still waiting for this and have no real news on here. Where are they with the localization on the European (not Russian! ) release ? Has the project to localize been shelved in favour of other projects ? Give us some REAL news - please !

[hykao]

Maybe not the localization is the problem...I think that's already done...(in the original Russian version, the most part of dialogues are not Russian, but German and English...there is only one Russian languaged level, and there are not too much conversations on it, as well as the videos - although are Russian languaged - contain also not too much words...)...maybe the "Western" publishers have been hesitating, because of Bletchley Park and American missions and/or swastikas and nazi things or so...

As an American, let me state that I could care less about playing a mission where I have to infiltrate an American base or even kill an American. It's just a game. One of the reasons I loved Death To Spies was because I got to play a game solely from the perspective of a role rarely seen in computer/video games (that of a Soviety spy).

I sincerely hope that this is not the reason 1C/Haggard is taking so long to find a Western publisher for The Moment of Truth. I'm guessing Atari (Death To Spies' North American publisher) does not or did not want the publishing rights to the sequel because of either less-than-stellar US sales of DTS or because Atari themselves are in trouble financially. Don't know.

I saw Death to spies 1 laying in a shop, never seen it before here in The netherlands.
