This is amazing work you are doing. Good quality translation without even knowing source language.

34. Вызов кобольдов
#Трёх кобольдов-рабов посредством магии отправляют из замка в отряд героя. Подобная телепортация опасна, и часто заканчивается гибелью пересылаемых.
В отряде героя должно быть место для этого.#

Word-by-word translation:

34. Summoning kobolds
Three kobold slaves are being* magically teleported from the stronghold to the hero's army. Such teleportation is dangerous and often ends with death of units being teleported.
The hero's army should have slot (-s?)** for such operation.

* Not sure this is correct tense in this case.
** Literally: "space".

This ritual summons a weak creature, which attacks your guard. After battle you can see battle-result screen, wich shows you guard detailed(units, their level and quantity). There is no way to see something except name of the province guard without this ritual.

This word used by some ethnic group(race/community) to name itself.

Kobolds are small race, without provinces. Mostly has been enslaved by dark elves

This ritual send random amount(1-3) kobold slaves to hero's army. And yes, if you don't have enough slots in army some kobold slaves should dissapear.

OK, so I started merging files manually to get a feel for the work required, and it is obvious that I must find a way to automate most of the work if I ever hope to finish something.

I noticed something strange in var/quest.var

In Russian there is
/22
Name: Свиток %s;

and in English it is translated to
/22
Name: Obtaining the Scroll;

The format string has disappeared in the translation.

1) This means it is possible to have format strings in "Name: X" lines (there are 12 others in var/phrases.var)
2) Isn't there a potential problem when deleting a format string? (or just changing %d for %s ??)

Bye

Thanks for all these clarifications!

IIRC, in MotBW I could examine the guards in my provinces (at least their health level, and maybe composition/levels) but I haven't played in several months.

In D&D, Dark Elves are also called "Drow".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_elves_in_fiction

And it's really nice that I learn also English words in a Russian forum!
Even my spell checker didn't recognize endonym (although I did recognize the 2 latin parts, Doh!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exonym_and_endonym
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/endonym

Kind Regards.

I have one more doubt about format strings.
In ability.txt, entry 52 used to be

/52 Повреждение оружия
#Атакуя противника врукопашную, воин снижает его атаку на 1. Эффект длится 3 хода.#

and in NH it became

/52 Повреждение оружия
#Длительность эффекта: %d.
Любое существо, атакующее этого воина врукопашную, повредит своё оружие - атака и контратака снизятся на 1. Не действует на бестелесных противников.#

I note that the NH mod introduced a format string in the description.
Is is possible without changing the core executable?

Regards.

Ability "weapon damage" now works differently. And yes, the executable file is replaced.

In unit_upg.var, two upgrades have the same name
(Used to be Ядовитый укус and Ядовитый удар, Poison Bite and Poison Strike)
Could this be a problem?

/78
Name: Ядовитая атака;
Only Once: 1
Need: (0)
Upg Type: 41
Quantity: 2;

/133
Name: Ядовитая атака;
Only Once: 1
Need: (0)
Upg Type: 41
Quantity: 4;

OK, now the hard part, campaign_dialog.var

For example, in entry 1345, a single '-' character was added

Максимальная ставка - 250 энергии. Вас это устроит?

Is this character just cosmetic? Or is it interpreted by the core game with a special meaning?

Regards.

OK one more for tonight (sorry)

In site.var there are some strange translations for the English version :



AFAIU, the first one is correct, but the next seem incorrect...
(These are for sites 28 -> 31... are they impossible to reach ? obsolete ?)

Regards.

Nope.
Punctuation error corrected.
They are always destroyed on find, so these strings are never actually shown ingame.

Thanks Kettarienne!

@Jazz (or anyone reading this!!)

Would you still have version 13.04Z (in Russian) lying around?

I am hoping to use the translations made by Drakon and co.

(I have done all of var, except the two huge dialog files.
Using Google Translate for the stuff new in the mod, so fairly low quality.
I will post the dictionaries if someone feels like improving stuff, hehe)

Regards.

Here it is. Well, at least the topic-related parts thereof.

Thanks again Kettarienne, you are very helpful!

OK, so I took a look at the google translation for ability.txt
It's awful, but enough to play the game (I hope).

Google refused to translate this: истолчённые
(from /328 Опаляющий-Плоть)
so I changed ë to e (I used the wrong symbols on this line)

истолченные -> which is translated to "comminuted"
(wow, I didn't even know that word)
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/comminuted

I've translated to pulverized.

Google has a problem with

/282 Стать стреломётом
#Изменить конструкцию баллисты, после чего армия пополнится стреломётом.#

/282 Become strelomС‘tom
#Change the design of the ballista, and then the army will replenish strelomС‘tom.#

Looks like стреломётом might be "arrows" or "missiles" (something hurled by the ballista)

arrows -> стрелками (same prefix, but not quite the same)

And what does Стать стреломётом mean?

Добавлено: Пт Окт 10, 2014 13:37     Заголовок сообщения:

Same problem with the catapult

/284 Стать камнемётом
#Изменить конструкцию катапульты, после чего армия пополнится камнемётом.#

/284 Become kamnemС‘tom
#Change the design of the catapult, then the army will replenish kamnemС‘tom.#

Or powdered. Better yet "The strongest among The Pack's Greatest receive another runic token. The ritual uses magic crystal powder that gives the glyph its bright blue glow"
Translate камнемёт as stonethrower. Lithobolos, you see? It is a catapult upgrade.

Just for laughs, this is the current translation from Google

/328 Searing Flesh-
#The best fighters of the number of the Great Warrior Pack adds another rune insignia. Used for ritual pulverized magic crystals give the sign a bright blue glow. Fleece vests warrior magic hit.#

Contrast with your improvement
"The strongest among The Pack's Greatest receive another runic token. The ritual uses magic crystal powder that gives the glyph its bright blue glow"

The basic translation is "Engrish" but I think we can (barely) discern the intended meaning

One more,

Вольный стрелок is Der Freischütz for Google (I think it got English and German mixed up).

free shooter ... maybe sniper ?? sharpshooter or marksman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marksman

(literally franc-tireur in French)

I think I will go with sniper.

Still dealing with Google's rough edges... How about

135. Силок
136. Капкан
217. Тенёта

Snare, Trap, ?? Snare again? (I think it would not be a good idea to have the same name for two different spells)

The description for 217 is

217. Тенёта
#Круг 2.
Школа: Некромантия.
Обездвиживает все существа в радиусе 1 тайла, повышая при этом их параметры защиты на 1. Запутанная цель не может сражаться. Действует 2 хода (3 хода для целей со слабой рукопашной атакой).
Не действует на врагов с сопротивлением выше 3-х.
С ростом концентрации мага увеличивается шанс запутать цель на 3 хода.
