Fanmade Translations

Notes

If you intend to translate FOTAQ, here are some notes to help ScummVM supporting it :

  • Release a rebuilt datafile (ie. don't rely on queen.tbl to be modified for your version, this extra datafile only references retail versions of the game)
  • Update the second byte of the "JAS version string" in queen.jas, this allows scummvm to perform correct language detection and select the correct appropriate charset data
  • If you must define new charset data, submit it to the patch tracker (ScummVM already as hebrew russian and european fonts)
