I would like to know if you are interested in playing Imperium in a different language. It wouldn't take much time for me to adapt the localisation files for other languages, as long as other people took care of the translation. My own suggestion is that we limit ourselves to German and French. Still, if you're very keen on adding Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese I could naturally include it as well.

Sadly, we can only use symbols that you find on an American keyboard. The Scandinavian 'å', 'ä' and 'ö', the German 'ß' and the French 'ç' are out of question. (Still, for German and French, I suppose we could use double 's' and 'c'.) None of the Cyrillic symbols show up as they should, as far as I know.

Cheers,
Descartes

"ç" is not a double S, even if its purpose is indeed to be a "c" pronouced like a "s". So using a double "s" would be wrong spelling. Better to use a standart "c"

Due to time restraint, I can't help you with traduction, but check the french board there: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=436139

This Sylla guy started a translation of vanilla game. He will perhaps help you.

I think he meant "ß" is a double "s" in german. And the "c" could be the "ç" in french.

Yeah, what Tobear said. Sorry if I was a bit unclear.
Sylla's project looks good btw.

While i would gladly help you with the German translation i really think you should invest evry little chunk of your time to get the english version ready. Lots of work to do i think, when all the features you metioned are actually in the game, i compoleted the characters (no time at all ATM) and the map reaches to Asia t might be the time to think about adding another language. Way to go...

Don't worry, this is far off in the future. There's no point in translating something that isn't finished. I just wanted to see if people were interested in playing in other languages, so I know what to include when I create new localisation files.

Frankly, I don't think the english forum is the right place to ask if anyone needs a translation The people who understand english won't necessarily need one and the others don't read this.

Later, when the mod is finished we can talk about translations to make it more accessible to others, including an announcement in international and also national (German, French, depending on the number of translations) games-magazines. What do you think about the latter?

Good point. It sounds like a good idea to announce it in foreign forums.

I already ask you Descartes about a german translation..
Send me a Pm when its done.

Also in german you can use ae=ä , oe=ö ,ue=ü and ss=ß .

If you do the translation, sure. You'd probably do the playing too.
