Translation Files

The tutorial phrases that have been irritating me are these:

<id=2609623951>PLACE:$Click and drag the coordinates up and down to set the place. Click on the symbol on the right to reset the place. Click on the plus on the line below to save the place. Click in the symbols next to it to set the place to one of your saved place.$

<id=555842113>PLACES:$Click and drag the coordinates up and down to set the place. Click on the symbol on the right to reset the place. This object has two place fields letting you split the beam. Click on the plus on the line below to save the place. Click in the symbols next to it to set the place to one of your saved place.$

First off, would it make sense for this to be "TARGET" instead of "PLACE?"
That's basically what it's doing, it's a set of target co-ordinates for relays/power lines. It would also help to make sentences like "set the place to one of your saved place" less awkward. I also think the word "click" breaks the fourth wall unnecessarily. So here's my suggested phrasing:

<id=2609623951>TARGET:$Drag the coordinates to set the target location. Select "+" on the line below to save the location. Select one of the symbols next to it to set the target to one of your saved locations. Select the symbol on the right to reset the location.$

<id=555842113>TARGETS:$This object has two target fields letting you split the beam. Drag the coordinates up and down to set the target location. Select the "+" on the line below to save the location. Select one of the symbols next to it to set the target to one of your saved locations. Select the symbol on the right to reset the location. $

here's another minor edit

<id=1508263112>You don't have enough power to use the the tool you have selected. Find more power pods or select another tool. The power counter in the HUD tells you how much power you have and the cost of using your currently selected tool. The power counter will turn red every time you don't have enough power to use your selected tool. If you have less then 25 power it will slowly regenerate itself.

Should be "less than 25 power" , right?

Yeah it's definately less thAn.

So, the game "shipped" with numerous typos... Cyborg (or anyone else with teamspeak) might want to bring this up with Eskil next time he's around so he can include the proofread English game strings with the next client release.

One thing I noticed is the "design tool" is referred to by the power well as well as power wire I believe some other building...but yah it's supposed to say config tool.

[zex]

good catch, I think config is also referred to as "display tool" in a couple places which has caused some confusion.

Eskil's added new things to the file, so the current one should be ignored until it's fixed again. Also, was talking to Alex in chat earlier and he's working on fixing the English version, and said he'd send it to Eskil so that Eskil can have a correctly translated file to distribute for the game, rendering the need for an English file unnecessary.
We still need foreign language files though.

I am still working on the french version but I doubt it will ever be useful hehe.

[iamacyborg]

Are you working on the new translation file or the old one? :P

[Globz]

The new one!
