Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce that we're searching for people willing to translate NS in other languages. We'd like to primarily concentrate on the in game text, but additional projects are principally possible.

<b>The finished translations will become official and be included in Natural Selection at the next given opportunity.</b>

Should you be interested, please contact me at <a href='mailto:Nemes1sZer0@gmx.de'>Nemes1sZer0@gmx.de</a>.

Thanks for your interest,

Florian 'Nemesis Zero' Schwarzer

    Please note that only the translations of in-game text will be official.

    If anyone translates the manual, we won't be hosting them officially. It would be more work then it's worth to keep all the manuals up to date (the manual is ALREADY out of date with 1.01), and we need to keep control over the game world, which we can only do in English.

    I MIGHT be able to translate to german because I have a good understanding of many parts of the language plus with world.altavisa.com or something I could do it.

    I haven't e-mailed yet or maybe never because I am still trying to make sure if I can for sure.

    I can do Japanese, though Im not sure if the Japanese community has found this MOD out yet. They are mainly into consoles though there are a few TFC, CS servers in Japan.

    I think I can translate to Dutch. I understand English quite good, so I don't think I'll have to much difficulties to translate it to Dutch (I am a Dutchmen myself <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->).

    Thanks everyone, but <i>please</i> E-Mail me if you want to translate NS.

    watashi5000: We've currently (6am EST) got 13 Japanese servers up. I guess there <i>is</i> an audience for a Japanese translation <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I thought I could translate it in to Finnish, but then I checked the titles.txt. That's alot of text and it seems like much of it is a part of the code. I would most likely end up messing something up <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You'd have to hack it REALLY bad to support hebrew, but GL beggeh <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    (NS guys: you'd be the first HL mod to support hebrew if you work with BEG, fame and fortune awaits)

    Ok, I nearly have finished a german translation. I am german so it's no problem for me <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Here are some pics just want to show you guys that it's not difficult. Flayra uses a really nice system, great coding job. I got nearly everything done but there are some grammar errors which I still have to fix.
