Game translation

Post by fluke »

Hi,
is there an option to translate the game language? Maybe as a mod or something?

Specialised translation companies do this. Game localization, as it's called, is complicated and not cheap or trivial.

Most of our text is in separate files that are included in the SDK download. If someone translated them I would be more than happy to build a new SOWGB.SOW file with the translated files. ADukes and I started a project to make this easier, but it didn't get done in time for testing. So now we just have the SDK, there is still some text in the exe that cannot be translated, but most is available.

Cool, I didn't thought of the SDK to solve the problem. I just tested around with it a little bit and it works great :) Thanks!
