• New client 1.15 has just been released (27th April). The main new feature of this is it now has the option of showing Spanish text, which should give any Spanish speakers a good laugh since I used Google to translate it.
  
  I chose Spanish as a thank-you to Victor who's been an excellent player of this game and stayed at the top of the league pretty much forever! Please place your requests here for whatever other languages you would like adding. :)

  • • Thanks for the offer. If you download the latest version of the client, there is an OpenOffice spreadsheet file called ./data/strings.ods. This has all the English words in the first column. Thanks!

    • • I'll sent you the appropriate file, i think theres no problem by the length of the strings, but i'll try to make them shorter. By the way, i'm preparing an map with units also.

      • • I've sended Steve the spanish translation. By the way, Pedro how do you translate "Snap Shot"? Maybe is better to keep some words in english?

        • • Hi victor, in that special case i tried to do an aproximate translation. Like in spanish "sacado" or "tiro sacado"(?!?!) we in portuguese have the work "saque" that means making a quick shot almost without pointing. So in this case i have replace by: "Tiro Rápido". "Tiro" stands for fire/shot and "Rápido" for quick. By they i have maintained Auto-Shot as "Tiro Automático". Cheers victor.

            • I think I've translate it as:
              Auto Shot = Disparo Automatico
              Snap shot = Disparo Semi-apuntado
              Aim Shot = Disparo Apuntado
              
              Don't know what you mean with 'tiro sacado', I don't think we have that expression with that meaning in spanish, but as you said in this case an aproximation is the better choice.

            • • "sacado" in Portuguese stands for the movement of grabbing the weapon from its holster and fire almost without pointing. "sacar" is the verb in portuguese language. Sorry victor for trying to use similar words but i've noticed that you don't have like that in spanish words. :)
                
                Gracias Hasta ahora
                Obrigado e até logo.
                Thanks and see you soon.

• A couple of (probably basic) questions:
  1.) How do I subscribe to the topic?
  2.) When I upgrade to the latest version of a client, do I just copy everything and dump it into the Stellar Forces folder and overwrite the files? I tried that a couple of days ago and it didn't work, so I went back to a previous version.

• • 1. You have to go to 'Community' menu option, then click 'Forums' and then click on 'Feature Request' forum, there you have the the option of subscribe/unsubscribe to all existing topics.
    2. I usually delete older files except 'properties.cfg', 'login.txt' and 'autologin.txt' and then copy new files. Not sure about the names but it is something like that.
    That should work.
