;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ; Sid Meier’s ALPHA CENTAURI ; ; Dialog box scripts ; ; Copyright © 1997, 1998 by Firaxis Games, Inc. ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ; ; INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSLATORS! ; ; 1) These files must not be saved in “Microsoft Word Format”, or they will ; be ruined. They MUST be saved in “Text Only” format. ; ; 2) Please do not insert extra blank lines, nor remove existing blank ; lines, as this will cause the program to malfunction. ; ; 3) But it is normally okay to turn a long line into two shorter lines; ; for instance: ; ; This is a very long sentence; it probably won’t fit on one line in German. ; ; is equivalent to: ; ; This is a very long sentence; It probably ; won’t fit on one line in German. ; ; 4) It is also okay to have lines be pretty much as long as they need ; to be off the edge of the screen (up to, say, 150-200 characters ; long. ; ; 5) Lines beginning with “#” are control lines, and the FIRST WORD ; immediately following the # should NOT be translated. Subsequent ; words on the line SHOULD be translated. For example: ; ; #caption Hello ; to ; #caption Bonjour ; ; #button Yes ; to ; #button Oui ; ; 6) The “{” and “}” characters are used to indicate text which should ; be displayed in BOLD type. The “[” and “]” characters indicate ; text which should be displayed in ITALIC type. A {} sequence or ; a [] sequence can begin and end on different lines. ; ; 7) Lines beginning with “^” begin on new lines. ; ; 8) Lines beginning with “^^” are centered. ; ; 9) The “$” character indicates a string is to be substituted. The ; $ is followed by the name and ID of the string, as in: ; ; Greetings, $PLAYERNAME1. ; ; In this case, the ID of the string is 1. The name of the string ; is for informational purposes only, so $PLAYERNAME1, $NAME1, ; $STRING1, and $WHOZIT1 are all equivalent. The names themselves ; do NOT need to be translated, although translating them won’t ; cause harm as long as the numerical ID is left alone (except in ; the case below). ; ; An important EXCEPTION is that $NUM0 (or $NUM1, $NUM2, etc) ; indicate a numerical value is to be displayed, and $HEX0 $HEX1, ; etc indicate a hexadecimal value will be displayed. “NUM” and ; “HEX” must NOT be translated or their special meaning will be lost. ; ; 10) Sequences enclosed in < > angle brackets are used to perform ; gender and plurality substitutions. ; ; $<…> sequences must BEGIN AND END ON THE SAME LINE! ; ; Here are the substitution forms, followed by some examples: ; ; $FACTION3 = Substitute string 3 ; $<3:has:have> = Substitute based on plurality of string 3 ; $<3:le:la:les:les> = Substitute based on plurality & gender of string 3 ; $<3:masc:fem:neut:pmasc:pfem:pneut> = plurality & gender, includes neuter ; $<3:$FACTIONADJ4> = Inserts string 4 and parses based on ; plurality & gender of string 3. ; $ = Inserts string 4 and parses for the ; masculine singular form. ; $ = … Feminine plural, etc. ; ; Since English doesn’t have have the exciting masculine/feminine ; problem, and no plural problem for “the”, there will be cases where ; YOU THE TRANSLATOR will have to add sequences of this type. For ; example, you can convert the following sentences (For “faction”, ; imagine substituting any of “University”, “Gaians”, etc) ; ; The $FACTION4 $<4:has:have> … ; ; into: ; ; $<4:Le:La:Les:Les> $FACTION4 $<4:a:ont> … ; ; and convert … ; ; $TITLE0 $NAME1 of the $FACTION2 ; ; into: ; ; $TITLE0 $NAME1 $<2:du:de la:des:des> $FACTION2 ; ; Note that the “4:” or “2:” is important as it tells the computer which word ; in the sentence to take its gender/plurality from (there are often ; several substitutions in a paragraph). ; ; FRENCH translators note that the program will AUTOMATICALLY handle ; the L’ and D’ contractions for le, la, and de. ; ; 11. English also doesn’t have adjective gender/plurality ; issues (rah rah English!) which means you’ll need to correct ; those as you go along. There are two basic situations you’ll ; encounter. The first is adjectives present in the text and ; used to modify words being substituted in: ; ; the pretty $ITEM3 that $NAME4 … ; ; which you can convert to: ; ; $<3:le:la:les:les> $ITEM3 $<3:bel:belle:bels:belles> que $NAME4 … ; ; Again the “3:” reminds the computer to substitute based on the ; plurality and gender of $ITEM3 rather than (for instance) $NAME4. ; ; The other situation you’ll encounter is where an ADJECTIVE is being ; substituted in to modify words present in the text: ; ; $ sisters … ; ; The “M1” calls for a masculine singular substitution (remember, ; English doesn’t have this problem so I’ve set everything to the ; default). Obviously “sisters” is neither masculine nor singular, ; so you’ll want to call for the feminine plural form: ; ; soeurs $ … ; ; 12. GERMAN translators can do the same thing, and simply use ; $<…> sequences with SIX items to take care of neuter forms. ; Unfortunately I don’t know any German at all, so I can’t give ; you any good examples. ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; #TOPMENU #xs 420 #itemlist #x -5 #y -5 START GAME QUICK START SCENARIO LOAD GAME MULTIPLAYER VIEW CREDITS EXIT GAME #MAPMENU #xs 420 #itemlist #x -5 #y -5 MAKE RANDOM MAP CUSTOMIZE RANDOM MAP THE MAP OF PLANET HUGE MAP OF PLANET LOAD MAP FILE #MULTIMENU #xs 420 #caption MULTIPLAYER GAME #itemlist #x -5 #y -5 New Multiplayer Game Multiplayer Scenario Load Multiplayer Game #SCENARIOMENU #xs 420 #caption SCENARIO #itemlist #x -5 #y -5 PLAY SCENARIO CREATE SCENARIO LOAD MAP FILE EDIT SCENARIO #WORLDSIZE #xs 400 #caption SELECT SIZE OF PLANET #button Random #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist #WORLDLAND #xs 400 #caption SELECT OCEAN COVERAGE #button Random #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist 30-50% of surface 50-70% of surface 70-90% of surface #WORLDTIDES #xs 400 #caption ADJUST EROSIVE FORCES #button Random #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist Strong (Rolling and flat terrain) Average (Hilly terrain) Weak (Rough, mountainous terrain) #WORLDORBIT #xs 400 #caption SELECT PLANETARY ORBIT #button Random #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist 100 million miles (cool planet) 90 million miles (average planet) 80 million miles (warm planet) #WORLDCLOUDS #xs 400 #caption SELECT CLOUD COVER #x -5 #y -5 #button Random #itemlist Sparse (light rainfall) Average Dense (heavy rainfall) #WORLDLIFE #xs 400 #caption NATIVE LIFE FORMS #x -5 #y -5 #button Random #itemlist Rare Average Abundant #DIFFICULTY #xs 440 #caption PICK A DIFFICULTY LEVEL #x -5 #y -5 #GENDER #xs 440 #caption Indicate Your Gender #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist Male Female #FACTION #xs 350 #caption CHOOSE A FACTION #x -5 #y -5 #listbox #button OTHER #NAME #xs 440 #caption ENTER YOUR NAME #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist #button Change Gender Name (Male): #NAME2 #xs 440 #caption Enter Your Name #x -5 #y -5 #itemlist #button Change Gender Name (Female): #CUSTOMNAMES #xs 440 #x -5 #y -5 #button Restore Defaults #caption Customize Your Faction #TIMECONTROLS #xs 400 #x -5 #y -5 #caption Select Multiplayer Time Controls #USERULES #xs 440 #x -5 #y -5 #caption GAME RULES #itemlist Play With Standard Rules Play With Current Rules Customize Rules #RULES #xs 440 #x -5 #y -5 #caption Customize Game Rules #button Standard Rules #itemlist Higher Goal: Allow Victory by Transcendence.
