SH3 Finnish translation

[Saukko]

This is something what I made for myself, but I thought sharing this with you. Well, at least with Finnish members...

15.11. Update to version 1.3, now works with NYGM and GW mods!

And this it should look like:

Thanks! I was about to translate my game too, but now I dont have to!

[Marhkimov]

I'm not Finnish, but if I were, this looks like it would be a nice mod.

[Dowly]

Only one problem, it doesnt work for me. I think the SH3Commander overwrites the en_menu.txt.

No it doesn't... Make sure you rollback before you install.

[Saukko]

Hmm, and I made this from original file, so if any mods make changes to en_menu.txt, this "mod" will change it back to original, only the language is Finnish.

Congratulations! I'm sure it will be very helpful for the Finnish-speakers.

SHCommander keeps changing the flotilla descriptions, ranks and medals and the "Loaded via sh commander line rolling down the menu screen. When starting the game without commander, no changes happen to translations.

PS: @ saukko, I did some editing in your en_menu ( it's only for my personal use). Changed some terms to more authentic and grammatical changes. I also translated the whole file. Thank you from the original idea It actually works surprisingly well, the finnish translation with german voices I mean. Heh, we are used to subtitles anyway

Yep. If you use language translations of the en_menu files, you should also translate the equivalent SH3Cmdr files, as SH3Cmdr adds new and extra text to SH3. Just translate the following files...

-Menu static.txt (en_menu.txt block)
-Menu variable_en.txt (you could get away with just changing 902 to 904 and up to "||---- News" in each 46 line)
-Ship displacements.cfg (en_text labels if the language pack alters any ship log files - optional)
-SH3Cmdr_en.txt (if you want your SH3Cmdr Personnel Files, Crew Lists and date format in Finnish too - optional)

SH3Cmdr will then pick up your translated text. This ability is mentioned in the SH3Cmdr Help.html file. Further instructions ar ementioned in the header of each file.

*NB, replace "en" with "de" or "fr" if you have translated de_menu.txt or fr_menu.txt respectively.

Cool, why don't you share it? So far I have translated some of the texts that were still english in my original version. And yes, I use german voices and finnish subtitles too.

Thanks JScones!

@Saukko, about sharing my version, I'm not 100% happy with it yet.I need to fix those parts JScones mentioned then play the game with it for test purposes first and read the whole damn file through like a hundred times to be happy with it (and that the terminology is right etc...). Then perhaps I could use other opinions. I'm so shy too

Kiitos, täytyy kokeilla

"Blow all ballast!"


Just to get this thread on the surface...

[Saukko]

Rosencrantz, thank you for your suggestions. I agree that weather report really needs some improvement. Plus I don't know real terminology, or official translations, I just translated them directly from English.

Recoil operated = ?
