Hello everyone, I'm a fan of this game since I bought SkullKeep DM2.

I found your website and I loved it, there are a lot of documentation about the series.

This game is a great unknown in Spain and that could have many followers if I was writing in Spanish.

I would like to translate for some games to Spanish, is it possible?.
What tools could be used for the translation?. (items, messages, etc)

Thank you very much.

Hola a todos, soy un fanatico a este juego desde que compre DM2 SkullKeep.

He encontrado vuestra pagina web y me ha encantado, hay muchisima documentacion sobre la serie.

Este juego es un gran desconocido en españa y se que podria tener muchos seguidores si estubiera escrito en español.

Me gustaria traducirme alguno de los juegos a español, ¿es posible?.
Que herramientas podria usar para la traduccion?. (items, mensajes, etc)

Muchas gracias.

Let's do it in spanish
Hola Riverwind ! DM2 existe solo en ingles, aleman y frances.
Si tu conoces RTC, hai una version de DM2 que es un poco diferente. Pero puedes utilizar el editor para modificar los mensajes y los niveles (Setup > Text Strings).
Para todo lo que se ve sobre las paderes y los pergaminos, aconsejo que utilizas un editor de textos como Notepad++ en vez del RTC editor.
Hay que modificar tambien los items, pero sera de larga duracion porque tienes que clonar todos los items del juego en el editor...

That was long to write, i've lost my spanish abilities for a long time !

RTC (return to chaos) could be a way, but there are others:

there's a chance to change the language by editing graphics.dat
maybe with some editor? There is a program that can look into all different dm-formats and display graphics etc..

--> maybe look at skwin?

Maybe you could create a new branch in the DM-wiki for DMII related information? From there a Spanish section.

Quizás se puede crear una nueva rama en el DM-Wiki para DMII. Desde allí puedes crear un sección en español y adelante!

Todo la gente aqui puede hablar espanol? Si hay un version en espanol puedo jugar para practicar la lengua...mejor que haciendo deberes!

If there is a Spanish version it will be a very good excuse to play...I can pretend that it is educational software.

It is very possible. Take a look at http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/721 . I would recommend changing all the English text entries to Spanish. It would be easier that way.

Best thing is that someone provides a full list of spanish translation (table with spanish in front of english).
Then I'll do the graphics.dat.

The graphics.dat is already designed to contain multilanguage. Make use of this possibility!

Alright guys, I combed through the graphics.dat in kentaro's editor and pulled all the English text into an Excel document. I'm hosting it on Google Docs for anyone here to edit.
