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 appropriate charset data
- If you must define new charset data, submit it to the patch tracker (ScummVM already has support for hebrew, russian and european fonts)
Tools
- compress_queen allows to remove the queen.tbl dependancy from the original queen.1 datafile.
- Vag from the GreekRoms team programmed several tools to help in the translation process. TODO add link to homepage
