Differents languages

[prince-de-rien]

i hope I'll post in the right section and that this topic wasn't posted before, Warlock, because I didn't find it...

Does anyone know if KQ9 will be available in other languages (not for the voices but maybe subtitles...)?

[Warlock]

You're right on, this was the correct section


And I don't believe I know the answer to your question, but I'm sure somebody out there does!  

[prince-de-rien]

Anyway, I can translate if it's needed... It would be a great pleasure...

Right now, we're just developing the English version.  Once the game is completed, we'll work on doing translations (subtitles) to other languages.

OK... TY again Yonkey.. I hope you won't forget french people as AGD interactive who did packs for every languages (even Latin !!??) except french  

[Yonkey]

I won't!  But, remember that the translations are based on who is willing to translate them.  Probably what happened with AGDI, is no one offered to translate the game to French, so there is no French version.

I offered...As many persons... But they had too much work to do translation packs...

Ahh I see.

In our game, I definitely did not want to forget about internationalization, so we built it into the design.  One of our programmers designed a custom-built DialogueEditor which allows us to take the dialogue from the game's script and turn it into a dialogue file that the engine can use during gameplay.

When we want to do translations, all we have to do is simply copy and paste the translated text into the DialogueEditor, and replace all the English dialogue files with the translated ones.

Actually, it would most likely provide the option of switching between English and the other languages as opposed to just overwriting the English dialogue files, but you get the basic idea.

I could translate the game in the future if you want... I would be the official KQ9 ambassador in France..

Can I promote the game on the KQ website I'm currently developing?

[Yonkey]

Cool!  

I'll keep that in mind.

[prince-de-rien]

haven't answered my question, Yonkey   Can I talk about the unofficial KQIX project on my website?

[Yonkey]

Oh, I didn't notice you added that to your post.  Yes, you can definitely talk about our project on your website.

I heard that Vivendi, the company that bought out Sierra, is French. It's cool that we have people from all over the world that like king's quest and Sierra adventure games.

I'd love to get the chance to travel more than I have right now. I've never been to the Northern states of America, I'd like to see New York City, never been there. I'd also like to go to California. The thing I like about Tennessee is that people are so friendly there. In other parts of the south around that area people are generally nice and polite.

I asked about translations some time ago, so I'll add to this topic. If you should need any more German translators, just pm me  

[Jeka]

  If you need translation in Danish I can also help you hihi!!! I don't think so...

But actually I think that a lot of Danish people play King's Quest!  

[Warlock]

Unfortunately not many, but I do

[Yonkey]

Excellent!

Wow, this thread is becoming the official game translator thread!

[Rosella]

I'll translate it into....Parseltongue! I spent my whole 5th grade life with my friends developing it. It's scary, I'm sure most of the sounds are at lest 57 different words, and no one would understand it. But I'd do it anyways!!! Actually, I'd have to dig up the dictionaries...and it only has words a 5th grader would use. But that's not the point. I wanna help!!!

[Raforever]

Maybe I can help out too  

[Rosella]

As long as you stay away from my Parseltongue
