Opening loading screen

[Dooz]

I can't say I'm sure this is a bug or whatnot, so I thought I'd post it here to be seen faster and assesed appropriately and moved. This is usually the loading screen at the beginning (I think about every time I can remember actually) which in itself might be a mistake because I guess it's not randomized. But anyhoo, my question is if the structure of the sentences is intended. As in, if the original quote and translation should be next to eachother in one line as they appear here or if they should be under eachother seperately, like the rest of the quotes. Is it because of space constraints?

You know I've been thinking about the quote all day at work...

I wanted to get different quotes in quickly and without a lot of fuss, so I just edited Data\text\quotes.txt, instead of the transition screen files, etc. Those files I didn't edit specify which quotes have translations. It looks like that same screen and quote are used every time. It's not a mistake; that's the way the game is, but it lets us put that specific loading screen and quote for the first one you see. Since that first quote didn't have a translation in the lookup, I just made the translation part of the latin text so it would work. You probably have seen it many times if you frequent this forum, and now you have the translation (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?u=636). ~;)

Short answer: if someone edits that transition screen file in the Data folder, they could probably get it on 3 lines like the other quotes with translations. There's another quote with the problem that the translation was so long, I had to split it and put part of it with the Hebrew text. It would run off the screen otherwise.

I see. Well, is it necessary to make that quote specifically the one for the loading page? Another, shorter one that would look more pleasant might be a better fit, and this one could be in the other quotes where it'll fit fine. I mean, either way it's fine, it's just that since it's possible to have it look better, why not?
