Translations needed

Fri Oct 19, 2012 12:22 pm

Hi,

There are some nice Leader Biographies in the game files, all in French!

If there is a volunteer who would like to translate them to English I'll forward the file for your effort.

Similar: translate to German....

You must be willing to work with the Spreadsheet Database [MS Excel or OpenOffice]


Please reply via PM to me, including your email address.

Thank you! :)

I could translate quite a bit to English, but I'm completely blank when it comes to Excel. Haven't worked with that since 1997.

Older versions of OO have had intermittent problems with truncating large test strings.

Latest version handlse the infamous "Division Names" text in AACW, which is over 1000 characters long! [it used to cut it off at ~ 800]

I've found that most of the OO issues are traceable to two things:
Use of forbidden characters ; & $ "
Imbedded carriage returns from copying an intire cell into the end of another cell.


I just deciphered the carriage return bug yesterday!
So, I search replace the forbidden, then extract and load game with new file: if I see allias errors inMainLog, I search those lines for hidden <CR>

All the recent patches for AACW, NCP, WIA, ROP and RUS were done using only OO....
