Bad translations and mods translations.
« on: 28 February 2014, 14:33:05 »
I'm italian but I always use Megaglest in english because italian translations are very bad, specially in some factions like Magic. So, could I improve some language particulars in the Megapack? For the mods, must I ask the mod's creator if I want to translate also some mods?

You could join the translation team on Transifex and talk to your fellow translators. Improvement is always good :)

Please read http://translate.megaglest.org to get started as a contributor. Improving translations is (almost) always good except when you do not test your improvements on the game since then you may actually make them worse (such as too long text which are thus cut off, badly positioned line wraps, incorrect interpretations of the source which is not noticeable without the context the game provides).

The Italian translation team currently consists of five members, which is more than most other teams have, but some may be inactive by now, so increasing the team seems like a good idea to me.

GunChleoc has previously translated MegaGlest and continues to maintain a translation, so he knows this process well.
