So sorry, but no, the Radio Messages are not translated.

Yep, having had a look at them, It's just a wee bit intimidating!

I've had a bash at translating some of the traffic, but I think it would take me a few years to do the whole lot!

Here's a look at what the messages for June 41 say:

At the moment, this is for my own use, so I'd only consider releasing it if the BfB team gave the nod. Curiosity's gotten the better of me!!

Hotmenandre, If you'd like, I could send you a copy of what I've translated for the mission orders, menus and subs for your perusal? If you want to use any of it in the mod, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand.

PM sent!

Can someone please PM and list the correct order to set this up? I have tried but there are too many ways listed here and it is a bit confusing. I have tried starting with the basic mod then the fix the then the fonts then the two English mods and it is not working the fonts part does work but the English mods seem to do nothing.

Also I am not 100% sure that the Soviet part is showing up at all even though I am getting the splash screen that they made and the menu that they made but their patrols don't seem to be there so far as I tell without there being any English I might be missing it.

Thanks for any help.

My GME:
Great_War_p1_Battle_For_Baltic_Ver_100
GW_BfB_Fix
History_target_Submarine_GW_Balt

English
English weapons data


Update:
OK I have found the Soviet campaigns but it seems that the primary English translation dose not work for me but the second one does.
I can deal with that.Now my question is where should I add in say an environmental mod? Currently I am adding first direct Baltic mods then things like uniform mods then English mods not sure where an environmental mod would go.








P.S. it would be awsome if someone made a "one stop" version of this mod set up for English or even the Russian version all in one part it would limit the mod soup.
P.S.S Sorry I thought I was in the main thread for this wicked (if I can get it to work mod) but I'd still like some help.
