Translation
Go to our translations website.
Originally the game was in Polish, with proper translation in German, and mid-quality translation into Russian, thus, you need to know any of those languages.
In your profile choose languages you understand (in Settings -> Secondary languages), then the website will present you with the relevant strings in those languages, which could help you do a better job. Also, pay attention to the nearby strings, as that often will provide you with the context of the dialogue (it gives +/-5 lines of context).
The translation strings contain service words and symbols. Those must be copied as-is.
Possible service words:
dialogNNN
HERO:, OTHER:, P#OTHER:, P#P#OTHER:, P#HERO:, OTHER2:etc. Those designate the speaker and must be present at the beginning of the string.$1-$19– dialog tree variants. Must be at the beginning of the string.#E2#X0, #E7#E8#B0etc, starting with #. Those are special symbols for branching in dialog trees. Present at end of the string. Sometimes they're the only part of the string.- '|' . A newline symbol. Use for extra-long string to ensure the breaks are in the designated place.
Rest of the files
- '|', '*' and '+' – special symbols, pause, pause and newline respectively. Need to stay at the line where they are.
