Translating

Postby Dee » Mon Sep 26, 2005 12:59 pm

When I get the translating page, I get two options.. First, view untranslated items. The second one is to also view the translated items.

Can we get an option that allows us to view only translated items?

Why? :) ... There is already a search option, no?

(This is not meant as a 'no' ...)

It's just easier.. Well I made a mistake in all of my translations and I want to correct it... So, it's easier to show only translated items...

Dee suggested I should try to translate Cantr into Urdu.. just for the sake of creating different cultures in the game.. Most of the Pakistani/Indian players who'd come to play Cantr would be able to communicate in English, but might join the Urdu/Hindi section, too.. The urdu would be typed in Roman characters.. because that is now the standard script for it over the internet.. so it'll be easier to type.. and I've been good at this, at school.

Cool idea. The rules for this are the same as any other language. I forgot the exact rules, but it's along the lines of 1) at least one translator; 2) at least 4 players; 3) at least one advertiser available ... If you satisfy those, you can start ;) ... Just apply through the staff recruitment form.

After the "search" is implemented ... The easiest way is to put the phrase that you used in your translation ... either arabic or english ... than press the "magic" button ... Tadaaa ... here it is ...

Before that ... It was a mass to do it ... Searching from pages of events ... without descriptions only the numbers ... *hits his head to the wall* :wink:

So my suggesiton is .... Try the search future ... you will like it ...

........................................................................................................

And for creating a new island ... the numbers that Jos gave are exact ... But 4 players is not enough to have a good RP ... It is just a start we say ...

So you should do some Marketing ... also .. be prepared for it also ...

I wish you good luck ... When you finish all ... and see things run ... It makes you feel really good ... At least I felt that way ... :wink:
