STALKERSOUP in German

Hello German S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s,

I have translated the .xml files (eng folder) into German with a document translater. But these still aren´t suitable to play the game in German.

I´ll start with a file workaround. When someone have desire and mood to participate may like to do that.

Here´s the link for the files:

Hi Zonecamper, it will help if you contact the Dialogue Improvement Team as under their help, the game text has been applied to other languages. It also will help you find out if German translation is already being done and to work from their English text makes for continuity. Stalkersoup is always welcoming to helpers. Regards TrueB

Hi TrueB,

I have asked and so far no translation of the STALKERSOUP into German is in progress. Well, I thought I'd start with that myself.

Some .xml files are already ready, but the whole thing will take some time. I'll contact the Dialogue Improvement Team in due course, thanks for the tip

Regards Zonecamper

Maybe create a group in discord and share with a group link to share info and send a link to the patch?

I have completed nine .xml files so far. Of course not everything has to be right, I wanted to start with that. It's just stalled a bit due to time problems. The Discord thing would be a good idea, let's see...

Hi Zonecamper

May I suggest that you start with the smaller files to get the hang of them, and only work with .xml files that state 'Completed' in the editor's notes at the top of each page

Avoid machine-translation if you can, as you can easily lose context. The files in their current English form have been painstakingly re-written from the machine-translation of the original Russian

However, some of the dialogue files have not yet had a full first draft, and the majority of the files containing dialogue are currently undergoing a second draft to complement the evolving storyline as the game approaches completion

The weapon files require a lot more work in terms of descriptions, and ideally need the help of someone with real-life experience of guns and knives. Fortunately, we've already got bows covered  

Please feel free to contact me privately about any of the text files, especially if you've modified a file and now your game won't boot up...  

And if anyone is prepared to help rewrite the weapons files, please contact me. Military experience would be a major advantage, although simply being a gun/knife enthusiast would do...
