More about Russian SCI...

[Eero R]

You can't post Russian letters on the board, even if you want to exchange games... Oh, and did Russian company Fargus (Фаргус) translate any Sierra SCI games?

[Farlander]

As far as I know Fargus only translated KQ8 (Which has a bug with a feather, I think... well, patches can't fix that problem). And they translated QFGV which even don' start. I don't know why these two games are so fargus-buggy.

Why, I played QFG V by Fargus, which is translated completely except voices. And Fargus translated Kq7 too.

P. S. Hey guys, This thread is about technolohy of translating, not quality. I just wanted to know how to translate SCI0 parser commands. Anybody has some ideas?

[Farlander]

Well, I remember repainting english fonts to russian fonts, so they were as in russian keyboard layout. (I did this with Hero's Quest) So english a is russian f and so on (and to add words to vocabulary, so look, will be posmotri, which interepter will understand as gjcvjnhb. But if you add that word to a group that is in look, it will work fine). But there are some problems that I realized.  menu. Menu is in script, but I don't know how to script in SCI Studio. Of course if you know how to scrip, you can make your own new scripts, that are the same as old ones, except they will have russian words. That can be done with some other scripts that are not menu's, but in games.

Hey, I'm translating Hero's Quest too! Did you finish translating it?
And about your translating way... I tried this too. But I can't write english letters with such font (for example, I want to write my e-mail in the help menu, but I can't). All I have to do is to wait for a new SCI studio and to convert the whole game to SCI01.

[Farlander]

Well, it is only 2-3% done. Because the current SCI studio can't support my needs to translate that game.
