Looking for Game Translators

[neo]

A translator wouldn't work, it would mess up lol, more than I would.

[Hunchman801]

Here is the opening sequence:

Je t'ai extirpé de ton sommeil
après qu'un homme ait eu raison de toi.
Maintenant cet homme revient, s'attaque à ta maison,
et a des amis aux origines célestes.
Réveille-toi de suite.
Défends-toi.
Fais tes preuves.
Tue ceux qui t'ont tué.

This is not a litteral translation but an idiomatic and even literary one, with a spelling warranty. No online translator could do this

By the way, I think you meant Prove yourself

[Minisaurus]

I wish I spoke French like that

[Katteise]

Where's Phoenixan? I'd like to help!

[Hunchman801]

He must be busy with other schemes ^^

[Reese Riverson]

Maybe Ryan just forgot about this topic.... I'll let him know of it once he is online.

[Phoenixan]

Yeah, I haven't been hanging around all the forums a lot lately... XDD

Anyways, do you know of any symbol replacements I can do that's actually official or that'd at least work? I do know that in the place of German with symbols like Ä, you can do AE.

[Hunchman801]

I'm afraid there is no symbol replacement in French

[Phoenixan]

Ah.. Well, I think I might have found a way to work around it to get the symbols in there. Unfortunately, they're not available in the header font I'm using... .__.;

[Reese Riverson]

Is this due to the font you use or due to gamemaker itself?

[Phoenixan]

Both actually. The extra symbols sometimes effect the game code for some unknown reason, but I found a work around that... but now I have to deal with my font, which doesn't even have symbols available for them.

There is another font I could consider using.



From copying and pasting Hunchman's translation... The top font is the one I'm currently using, and the blocks indicate missing characters.

[Reese Riverson]

I think it will be worth using a different font in the French version, so....

[Phoenixan]

The other one has German characters too...

[Reese Riverson]

Univeral font right? That is a good thing. What is this font called that has the French and German Characters?

[Phoenixan]

Well, I have the font converted over now.. so we're all set.

...It's called... Stuntman.

[Reese Riverson]

Still need any more translators? Hunchman is not that avaliable right now.

[Raie de mes quatre]

I could help to translate some texts in french, if you need help.

[Phoenixan]

Well, I had to change my menus around a little bit... I'll list them again soon... .__.; XD

[Hunchman801]

You'll just have to use a font with French characters, many of them are great

[Phoenixan]

Well, that's all sorted now.

Um... I kind of need to step back with the menus again as I changed the wording around a little...

And here's some screenshots so you can kind of get an idea for how the layout is now.

Thanks for all the work so far though, I really appreciate it. I think I will do Spanish afterall as it seems to be a bit in demand too. XD
