Hi there guys! I'm back again! :laugh:
I post here because I'm needing of help. I need someone to translate some documents in German to English (or French if possible) from another game that is only in German language. It would be great if you could help me!
By passing, what's up guys? Did you miss me? :laugh:
Are some of you tried Lemmings on PSP?
Have you heared my Lemmings1c song?

I'm fine! I didn't finish the school at Ubisoft: I missed! :sad:
I'll restart in September during 8 months and I hope I'll be accepted.

i see.
I can offer you a German to English translation, no French unfortunately.
Just tell me what text it is and whether the translation should be exact or only reflecting the meaning.
Ok. Read carefully:
Download this file (30 mo): HERE (http://www.dungeon-keeper.com/files/dk1/totranslate.rar) and this little file: HERE (http://www.dungeon-keeper.com/files/dk1/evil_keeper_back.jpg)
As you can see, this is Evil Keeper, a German expansion of Dungeon Keeper.
Inside the rar, you'll find all of this:
- BMP files: Less important, but it would be great if you do: there are some texts inside to translate (not the menus)
- Monster.dbt: Open this file using a Text editor or an Hexadecimal editor and you'll find some texts inside to translate
- DOC file: To translate entirely
- TXT file: Same thing
- INI file: Less important, but do the same thing. It's a tiny file.
- Start.exe: Less important, but it would be great if you do: just do the same thing as with Monster.dbt file.
- WAV files: Don't worry, you don't need to record your voice here! Just write down the english version of the voices in a simple Text file.
Just do simple TXT files, that will be enough (excepted the Doc file, of course).
I just hope that it isn't too much work! :embarassed: But thrust me, if you could help me, then it will be so great!!! :laugh: If you do: Thank you so much!
You must know that if I would understand German, I'll do it entirely myself. But for now, I don't. I can, of course, use automatic translators (like Altavista Babel Fish), but this is crap! :winktounge: I want REAL and GOOD translation!
Finally, when it's all done, just send me a zip or rar file with all the translated things inside. My email: dragonsloverATglobetrotter.net (AT -> @).
Ok, it's quite much, but I'll do that for you. Just give me a little time.
For the exe file, you mean the texts beginning at byte 0x00113600, right?
For the EXE, in fact, I'm sorry: it's a wrong file. Forget it! :embarassed:
Download this single file: HERE (http://www.dungeon-keeper.com/files/dk1/DK.rar)
Inside the rar, you'll find DK.crt. It is in this file that there are some texts in the executable, it is why I was wrong. You will realise that this file is kinda big (8.59 mo) and looking inside for sentences will be long. So, here are what you must search for:
- Leider ist es uns
- Um die einzelnen
- Nun m?۳sen wir
- Jetzt k??nnen Sie
If you search for each of them, you'll encounter some parts of texts inside. This is what it is required to be translated. That's all. No much.
Big thanks for the translation! It helped me! Thank you so much! :thumbsup:
I'm still waiting for the voices translations and names of cities translations and it would be done! Hope it'll be ready soon!
I had sent it to you some time ago. Check your inbox.
Here's what you said:
QuoteI'll do the waves and the jpg soon.
I'm still waiting. If you sent me another message, then I didn't receive it.
For the jpgs, that's ok, I don't need them. Only the .txt for the wavs and it will be over.
Strange, it's in my 'Sent Mail' folder for Jul. 24, sent to your address. I didn't get any delivery error either.
Anyway, I resent it, original content is quoted, txt files attached.
I got it! Thank you very much! :thumbsup:
There's just one thing:
Names of the cities aren't translated. Do you think you can do that?
Because: Frohenwalde, G??ntringen... What's that?
According to the text, these towns exist in real. It will only hardly be possible to translate them exactly. I can give you some information how the names of the towns are built up of German words...
I should get it ready in a few minutes.
Thank you so much for all the work! :thumbsup:
But it is not over... :embarassed:
There is another expansion for Dungeon Keeper in German that I just received. However, there are less files to translate with few texts! :laugh:
Download this file (http://www.dungeon-keeper.com/files/dk1/ToTranslate.rar).
Inside, you'll see 5 txt files to translate. That's all!
Ok, check your inbox.
Wow! That was quick! :laugh: Thanks!
There are a few more and it will be over. Download this (http://www.dungeon-keeper.com/files/dk1/2Translate.rar).
Still there, this is only few texts, so it will be as quick as you did for the first one. :laugh:
Ok, done. It should be over anyways, since I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks.
Don't worry! It's FINALLY over! All other texts are only made of few words that I can understand by using Altavista Babel Fish. Like: Suchen (Search), Ende (Quit), Kopieren (Copy) and so on...
A big THANK YOU!
...question, if besuchen freunde is to visit friends, how is suchen 'search?' That's confusing! I sometimes wish that our class would study this German stuff a little more in depth, as all you can get out of it is this:
Besuchen freunde = visit friends
Machen eine reise = vacation
Wie heisst du = what's your name
These have more complex meanings, right? What I mean is, doesn't 'wie heisst du' really mean how are you called or some variation of that?

I know nothing about German, but it seems pretty logical that you have to be able to find where you friends are in order to visit them. :winktounge:
Well, every language has its irregularities. Some have more, some less. I'd consider German one of the former group.
Those things probably arose with the development of the language.
"Besuchen freunde = visit friends" is actually an exact translation
"Wie heisst du = what's your name" well, the dictionary says 'heissen' (or actually 'hei?
