Romanian translation of Quake 2 Dawn of Darkness update



 

Strikethrough always updated in (TBD) DoD romanian translation button.

The text 2_1_adrianna text has the most letters encountered yet.

In the romanian language the following vowel letters exist :
ă, â

I must test in Dawn of Darkness, if for example i add the word "hotărât" which means "decided" in english language, the word must be seen without problems.
Other vowel letters exist.
Other than this, i must test the following consonant :
ț,
If for example i add the word "țap" in a text, which means "goat" in english language, the word must be seen in Dawn of Darkness.
After i translate all texts, i will add the vowels and consonant and test them in Dawn of Darkness.

"weak in power, but he caught me in this weakened, depleted state.`
next:14"

I don't know if leaving the following sentence in text, where the backtick "`" is on the next line, will make any difference, because sometimes this happens if more words are added :

"state.

`

next:14"

Backspace resolves it. 

"The Sphere shows the exact location of the sword." 

If i use "sphere" and not "Sphere", should not make any difference.

Also, "Then return here, and we shall talk once more" in romanian language, is without "," before "and" and is like this :

"Atunci întoarce-te aici și vom mai vorbi o dată"

Some words, like "Cheitan" and "Amarath" should not pose problems if i put them like "cheitan" and "amarath".

I believe that the way they were written with a uppercase, is for developers to remember as keywords.

Other programs for Quake 2 editing

PakScape: Is used to import/export/delete files, folders from the opened pak file,  which is some sort of a archive. You can rename the .pak file to .rar  and vice versa but it cannot always work. Quake Army Knife can open pak  files, import files, but cannot make folders easily.  

PakScape  

WinBSP: This program is used to convert .bsp to .map. or .map files to .bsp  files. Bsp to map screws sometimes the quake 2 map polygons. (walls,  prefabs,etc.)
