French Translation - Full With 6 Expansions (8.019) (21/10/2014)

[Joubarbe]

Hi/Bonjour,

------------

Introduction - English

This is a full translation of AI War and its six extensions, made with the version 8.019.

- This is a non-literal translation, consistent and regular, maintaining the meaning of the original words or finding some equivalences that better suit to the French language.
- Improving the style when the translation does not alter the ambition of the developers, and making texts generally lighter and more concise.
- Daily tips, descriptions and tutorials have been improved.
- Capital letters in excess have been deleted.
- Some ambiguities have been reduced or removed (type/design ; ship/unit, etc.)
- After a lot of thinking, names of the races have been completely frenchified. See below for details if you understand French

I release this translation as a "beta" version, because there are some texts I translated that I don't know the location of. Playing 150 hours of AI War is not enough to know all about it
So please, if you see any errors, report it here.

To install this, first backup your ...\AI War Fleet Command\RuntimeData\Logic\LobbySetupScripts folder. This folder only contains translations for startup scripts. Not many texts here.
Then copy all the files included in the archive to ...\AI War Fleet Command, where you see "AIWar.exe".
It will ask if you want to overwrite the folder you've just backuped, but nothing else. The translation is in a "trans" folder than can be removed at any time to switch back to english.

Introduction - French

Traduction complète d'AI War et de ses six extensions, en version 8.019.

- Traduction non littérale, cohérente et régulière conservant le sens du propos original ou trouvant des équivalences s'accordant mieux avec la langue française.
- Amélioration du style lorsque la traduction ne dénature pas l'ambition des développeurs, de façon à rendre le tout plus léger et concis.
- Les astuces quotidiennes, descriptions et tutoriels ont été améliorés.
- Les excès de majuscules ont été supprimés et certains formats ont été normalisés.
- Quelques ambiguïtés ont été réduites ou supprimées (type/design ; ship/unit, etc.).
- Les noms des races, après moult réflexions, ont été totalement francisés. Zénith, Spire et Neinzul sont donc des noms propres possédant un masculin, un féminin, un gentilé et un adjectif. On trouve donc l'Enclave neinzulle,
les vaisseaux zéniths, les avant-postes spires, les Zéniths, les Spires, etc. C'est déroutant au début, mais finalement plus immersif. Ils font partie du jeu et doivent être complètement intégrés.

Cette première version est une « beta », car malgré mes 150 heures de jeu, j'ignore l'emplacement et l'utilisation de certains textes traduits. De surcroît, les textes sont nombreux et il peut rester des erreurs diverses çà et là.
Si vous voyez le moindre problème, n'hésitez donc pas à le rapporter ici.

Pour installer la traduction, commencez par faire une copie du répertoire suivant : ...\AI War Fleet Command\RuntimeData\Logic\LobbySetupScripts. Il s'agit d'une quantité infime de textes concernant les scripts de démarrage.
Copiez ensuite l'intégralité du contenu de l'archive dans : ...\AI War Fleet Command, où vous voyez le fichier "AIWar.exe".
Le système vous demandera si vous voulez écraser le répertoire copié précédemment, et c'est tout. En effet, la traduction complète est dans un dossier "trans" indépendant, qui peut être supprimé à tout moment pour repasser en anglais.

Wow!  This is quite impressive, thank you very much for the effort

• main.xml : <ln id="PlanetAlertType_X_THREAT_UNITS_PRESENT_Description"> and <ln id="PlanetAlertType_X_ENEMY_UNITS_PRESENT_Description"> are not in the game (they are overwritten by their names).

Good catch!  Just fixed that for 7.010.

• ships.xml : <ln id="MercenaryFighter_Desc"> and <ln id="Fighter_Desc"> are the same in the game (these are the descriptions for Mercenary Fighters and Standard Fighters).

Whaddya know, it was just using the fighter's one for the merc one.  Fixed for 7.010.

Other Errors

• <ln id="MiningGolem_Full"> -> The description of the Mining Golem says that it leaves planets unable to sustain supply. But in the minor faction's description, it says otherwise, that Golems do not affect planets supplies. Which one is it ?

I could check the code but to some extent the result would be ambiguous without an in-game test.  I think this calls for !science! (from someone else, as I'm trying to get as much done on Bionic as I can at the moment).


Anyway, thanks again :)

Mining Golems effectively nuke the planet they hit, leaving it permanently out of supply.  Just like the AI's nuclear command stations.  I had one...once a while back.

Ah, but how recent is this !science! ?

You may traffic in the ways of the Cretacious period, but it is not the way forward

I've been busy!  Passports to verify, family to feed and keep warm! D:

Passports to verify

Do you mean, catching smugglers?

[Draco18s]

Passports to verify

Do you mean, catching smugglers?

Yes, but I'm too honest.

[Ancestral]

Thanks  .


These is a chance to see it included directly in AI war official release ?

Yes, but I'm too honest.

I'm quite interested in it, but I also lose internal debates over playing bureaucratic games versus just working in my spare time.

Sorry, that's probably unlikely, as any future official release after that would have to have an updated version of the translation, or not have it at all, as a lot of strings would have changed (or been added) by then

Well, hire me !

Or maybe you could put it on a sticky ? I'll try to update it when new official updates are released.

jesus...O_o You're amazing, bro! Well done!

It doesn't feel like work though.  It plays like a puzzle game.  A puzzle game with multiple valid solutions.
