It's basically just the language files... So for example english.txt located in the languages directory.

I can do all of those.

I'll do French first, where do I give it to you?

I'll have it done in no time.

EXAMPLE.

See, I used my translator to say this in French, All I have to do is type it in English, hit translate, then it automaticly does the rest.
*Hit Translate To French*
Voyez, j'ai utilisé mon traducteur pour dire ceci en français, tout
que je dois faire doit le taper en anglais, coup traduisent, puis il
fait automaticly le repos.

Plus, that translates to "See, j'ai used my translator to say this in French, very that I must make must type it in English, blow translate, then it makes automaticly the rest." which makes no sense. no, you must be able to speak the language.

It makes no since because you typed it wrong. very? No, it makes sence when I typed it.

It's because online translators do not work very well. They convey general meaning, but it is no where near as good as having a real person do it.

yes that is a bitch, especially with french, got me so embarrassed once.but seams to do good between two lenguages with similar construction logic? usualy i put it to another one just to see the difference

Saba, try somthing from dutch to franch than from french to english (dont edit) than english to russian and back and post results

Tank, i should do just a stuff on right side of file? I glanced in German version, commands must stay in English right? and this?

You've got as much time as you need. This will change the language of the menu's in the game. everything that is english must be changed, including the comments. Just not the things on the left with the '_' things in them... I hope that is clear enough...
