"YOU ARE VICTORIOUS" is exactly "VOUS ÊTES VICTORIEUX".
We can use simply "VICTOIRE !" too, more common.

For the ranks, the problem may come from the fact that my po file isn't synchronized with the pot file, but I didn't see the "YOU ARE VICTORIOUS" string in any po or pot file.

Code: Select all

	if(gamewon == TRUE)
	{
		console("YOU ARE VICTORIOUS!");
		gameOverMessage(winMsg, MISS_MSG, 0, TRUE);
		setEventTrigger(checkEndConditions, inactive);
	}	
}
I found this string in the "warzone.wz" file, once extracted (it's a PK file), under: \multiplay\skirmish\rules.slo

Dunnow if we are allowed to modify that.

Right. As you translated a big part of the weapons names, you should be in charge of the *.po file updates...  ;D

We have made those translatable now.

Apart - a little reading ?

(Preview. Prefer the PDF below - From Canard PC n° 166).

With Presse Non Stop/Canard PC agreement (they provided the PDF too). Thanks to them.  :)

[In french, a "canard" is a duck. But in french slang, it's a newspaper too. Here a mag. Note that these guys are mad, as the newspaper mascot is a (little bit silly) rabbit ^^].

Would anyone be able to translate? French is not my strong point  :)

(Although I can pick bits and pieces out.)

Is it more like a critique, or a mini-review, or a overall picture of what is going on with warzone now?
and it ends here.

first part is history of the warzone project (from pumpkin studios' first release to 2.1beta1), second part looks like a mini-review

Mainly, the author takes his hat off to you.
"Hi-res support, XP and Vista compatibility, working sounds, legible menus, improved textures, the Warzone 2100 2008 edition is perfect, not a freaky unstable do-it-yourself...Compared to much more recent, and much more payable games, WZ2100 remains very competitive...If you are a RTS addict, but didn' t get enough money to buy the last Sup-Com add-on, and the required computer,install this "reloaded" Warzone, I guarantee you will be surprised". And the author has a dream: that games such as System Shock 2, Fallout 2, Sim City 4 ("... all the games we loved in the 90s...") may have the same destiny (so guys, you know what you have got to do when WZ2100 development is finished ^^).

'"utiliser" is correct too, but less good in my mind.

Thanks for the paper  ;)

.



Le transporteur a été abatu avec des unités de la base alpha à son bord.
Il s'est posé en catastrophe à cet endroitet il est attaqué par le collectif.Former un groupe de sauvetage et récupérer le transporteur avec sa cargaison.

That the true version. Try to modifie it.(that a général idea of the objective)

L'analyse du site du réacteur indique que le collectif se préparait à dériver son energie vers cet endroit.Ce site semble être le central NASDA. Capturer le avant que nexus et le collectif n'ai le temps de s'en servir.Same thing.
The best tactit is to mixted up the great tank,the little tank, the adav and the cyborg. And whit this army, doing great stratégie.

French is often more litteral than english.

There is a important choice to do here :
- taking the same way as the french original version.
=> the best for french users, more immersive. Not a problem to do.
- translating the english string.
=> more technical than litteral, but easyest. Adapted to military context.

So ?

@ gnou:

"It" refers to the shot down transporter:

Code: Select all

/* Cam2_1 player indent - Transport Down */
CAM2_1_MSG1			_("TRANSPORT MISSION: Transport Down")
CAM2_1_MSG2			_("Our transport carrying units from team Alpha Base has been shot down.")

/* Cam2_1 briefing - Transport Down */
CAM2_1_MSG3			_("TRANSPORT MISSION: Transport Down")
CAM2_1_MSG4			_("It is under attack from The Collective at this location.")
CAM2_1_MSG5			_("Assemble a rescue team to recover the transport and its cargo.")
I didn't modify the last string french translation ( the one I found in a PO file) as it is correct.

"Le Collectif... se préparai(en)t" : ouch ! where do you see a plural form here ? (cam2strings.txt:112/cam2strings.txt:113)

I don't understand. What do you mean with this "true" ? Looks like the original translation ?

A concrete exemple maybe ? Thanks  :)
