Greek localisation for MTW-VI 2.01...

[hellenes]

Ive started a greek localisation and im in the fonts phase...
They are working fine and ive managed to edit them im using the russian localisation's fonts (cyrillic is the child of greek alphabet) and by the next week ill have some functional results now if anyone of the greek or greek speaking members of this forum could write a part of the loc file in greeklish (unfortunately the localisation will be only in greek and not in english BUT it works (the russian does) for Multiplayer)then the whole progress would be much more quick the order of fonts is:

A B G D E Z H Q I K L M N J O P R S T Y F X C V
Α Β Γ Δ Ε Ζ Η Θ Ι Κ Λ Μ Ν Ξ Ο Π Ρ Σ Τ Υ Φ Χ Ψ Ω

a b g d e z h q i k l m n j o p r w s t y f x c v
α β γ δ ε ζ η θ ι κ λ μ ν ξ ο π ρ ς σ τ υ φ χ ψ ω

Any help will be cencerely appreceated.

Obviously you need a *.txt file from the loc folder written in greeklish?
(i have no idea thats why iam asking)
You could asign me a txt file (whatever you need) and tell me exactly what to be changed.

ps i dont have the viking expansion yet, does it matter?

example from HistCampaigns.txt

["Barbarossa_Description_Label"]
{"Frederick Barbarossa was the King of Germany and Holy Roman Emperor for nearly 40 years. Like all Emperors, he dreamed of bringing the Empire back to its former greatness, which meant bringing Italy back.............

in greeklish:

"Barbarossa_Description_Label"]
{"O Frederick Barbarossa htan o Basilias ths Germanias kai Agios Romaios Aytokratoras gia peripou 40 xronia. Opos oloi oi Aytokratores oneireyotan na ferei thn aytokratoria sto palio ths megaleio, poy shmainei na ferei thn Italia........

is this like that?

Hi there,

An admirable event task, just some stuff to note here ....
1. The Q is used in the Greek locality for ; and : so since there is at least one or two TTF files that the MTW uses than I would recommend sticking to the standard ISO format.
2. Since you will built a Greek locality ... what is the need for a Greeklish text????
3. Since you are aiming for HTW usage ... is there a possibility of an English font with Ancient Greek like letters?

[hellenes]

Komnine
1.and 2.Im overwriting the english fonts with the greek to make the process faster and easier thus the : and ; will remain the same as its in english, now the above is the reason for the greeklish text since the latin characters in loc correspond to greek characters in monofont...
3.Im making medieval style greek fonts...the greek style latin fonts are doable BUT since im changing all the fonts manually it would take long time to change each font maybe if there is another way of changing them ill give it a try.

Ps: Komnine i know that you have a workload with the HTW but is there any small time that you could devote to some loc? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif *runs to hide from komninos' fury*

[Paxx]

Komninos could we localize HTW? could we use greek language in it? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[komninos]

hellenes,

What exactly do you need from loc folder? I spend a lot of time in it since everything that you read in HTW finds its text.

Paxx,

Let there be a V.2.0 Beta and you can localize it in any language you like

[hellenes]

Komnine ive been looking for the frontend main menu parts like the

QUICK BATTLE
SINGLE PLAYER etc etc

NOW they are some in the changes and i presumed that they are working BUT after changing them nothing HappenedI changed the fronted but they are working only for the camp diff level and the yes/no to quit the game

Hellenes

[hellenes]

Ive managed to make the greek fonts correspond to the greek fonts in loc So now the localisation will be in greekNO GREEKLISH ANYMORE
Komnine do you know where the frontend files are? I need them to test my morris24 fonts...

Hellenes

[komninos]

hellenes,

I meant to replay to you sooner ... but other problems took precedence ... any way, As I said before I have little to no experience on the front end files other than some I use for the factions/units/buildings. There are actually many files that deal with the text and you have to find and change them all it is a huge work

For the front end you will also need a number of files that give the images ... they must be in the Frontend folder ... I can not really help you sorry.

[hellenes]

Sorry Paxx but if you want send me what youve done so far and ill change them...What i mean is that the loc now should be written in greek cause when i was channging the latin fonts it created problems in Multiplayer and now you can have both english and greek localisations and switch them the way you want http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif *hides in the dungeon untill Paxx's fury ends*

I am disarming my sniper......ok.
Well I am going to write them down again in greek. I 'll send you what i've done by end of next week.
But...may i suggest on working on Hellenic TW better? A hellenic mod with hellenic language?

[hellenes]

Well im planning to make some fonts for the HTW mainly capitals in long term till then i think that a greek loc for the orig will draw more ppl to the game and help the greek gamers http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Hellenes

[hellenes]
