Ok as i said in another post i was translating the ingame help files.
But as engputer said they already have them translated, but not put on website yet.
So i decided to post what i have so far.
Dont be discouraged, because most pages are still in bablefish's chinese->english, i have merely made a setup for multilang, which is extensible by setup

So how do you install this patch? MultiLang-v1.4.0.TL.EN.0.3a.rar (1.78 MB)

• Rename the old help directory in de PDO directory.
  Example: "C:\Program Files\Phoenix Dynasty Online\Help" becomes renamed into
  "C:\Program Files\Phoenix Dynasty Online\Help-original"
  
• Un-rar the attached rar file in the main PDO directory.
  Default install directory is: "C:\Program Files\Phoenix Dynasty Online"
  
• You now have the multi language ingame help files installed and ready to use by pressing the H key ingame.
  

Good luck and have fun, and let me know what ya think of it

*edit*
Updated some pages.

Annoying thing: this means I will need to select my language every time I access help.

Solution: be clever with a cookie or settings file.

Also, do you have engputer's permission to post this?

1) Well yes but whats more annoying: not being able to understand at all or one click?
2) It would be possible to make it use a cookie setting, which ain't that hard to code in.
3) I didn't have explicit permission to do this, because as title says its an un-official patch.
But ill put this project on hold for time being, to see the reactions and needs.
Perhaps they have also made their official one multi-language, doubt it, who knows...

Currently the most time i spend on this would have been the translation of the chinese, the coding ain't that time consuming for me....

Normally makers of games are pretty hostile to people modifying the game files "unofficially".  But obviously things might be different here.

Yes i know what you mean, but these cant be really categorized as "game files" because it does not alter the way the client works internaly.
This is only information files meant for reading while playing.
Also note that we are in a process of translations atm

Slippery slope, but yeah, who knows.  I suggest you ask Eng yourself.

Different publishers have different interpretations of this and can sometimes result in legal action for something so simple as renaming one file. If you've been around the 10/15/more years you claim, you should know this ;). There are publishers that go to such lengths as verifying the CRC of every file in their install directory. RF Online is one such game in which every file with a corrupt or invalid CRC is deleted and redownloaded before the Login Screen displays, even if it's the mp3 that plays during the CRC scan.

mmhhh there is to translate a possibility the Client in such a way everyone which of it has? German, Polish, Turkish etc.. A test made: German WoQ2 - DLG files into this play copies, and it was much on German also the Queste etc.! If now many would go through could for man a multi languages Client nevertheless make or? Ok Chaten only in English however, vintages can then everyone in its language. Believes it gives enough Poland, German, Turk etc. in the translation a taking part became.

( noch mal in Deutsch, wenn was nicht Stimmt   )

mmhhh gibt es eine Möglichkeit den Client so zu übersetzen das jeder was davon hat? Deutsch, Polnisch, Türkisch usw.

Habe einen Test gemacht : Deutsches WoQ2 - DLG Dateien in dieses Spiel Kopiert, und es war vieles auf Deutsch auch die Queste usw. ! Wenn jetzt viele mitmachen würden könnte mann doch einen Multi Sprachen Client machen oder ? Ok Chaten nur in Englisch aber, Lesen kann dann jeder in seiner Sprache.

Glaube es gibt genug Polen,Deutsche,Türken usw. die sich an der Übersetzung Beteiligen würden.

Yes ofcourse i know that, but this one is not doing CRC checking, and im posting it on their own forum before i continue with it. Its only meant to help them....

Replacing dialog files would be altering game files, which this is not.
Its only html files that are displayed in the client, but not used for play.
But nevertheless if engy wants me (us) to continue on this, then feel free to help translate the german part

It's great that players like TriMoon has a lot enthusiasm about the game and constantly seek improvements to contribute and help other players.

However, it does touch the sensitive topic on file/client modification.

If it's just suggestions and ideas, it is okay to post them.  If it goes into any further detail (such as modifying/replacing files), please contact Engputer directly and present it to him instead of posting details directly on the forum.  Any thread in similiar nature found in the future will be removed.

Thread is closed.
