DavidW Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Merging SCS and SCSII created some inevitable issues with .tra files. What I did was basically: - Start with the SCSII .tra file - Add any required strings from the SCS .tra file, with their string number increased by 20,000 - Add any new strings required for the new version As of the v22 beta I've only done this for the English version of the game. This means that there are currently no translations of strings pertaining to BG1 into languages other than English. Partly I skipped this on shortness-of-time grounds, partly because I was worried about breaking something and not noticing. (I don't really read any of the languages into which SCS(II) is translated.) I'd like to crowd-source this. If anyone wants to make the effort to convert any of the tra files for other languages and send them to me (either posted here or by email to david dot wallace at balliol dot ox dot ac dot uk) I'd very much appreciate it. Here's what you have to do (using French.tra as an example): (1) Start with the French.tra file currently in stratagems/tra/French as a baseline (2) Download version 21 of SCS (not SCSII) and open the french.tra file in scs/tra/french. (3a) If you have time, look at stratagems/tra/english.tra, and for each string with a number greater than 20,000, subtract 20,000 from the string number, find that string in scs/tra/french/french.tra, paste it into stratagems/tra/French/French.tra, and add 20,000 to its number. For instance: if stratagems/tra/english/english.tra contains string @22007, find string @2007 in scs/tra/French/French.tra and paste it into stratagems/tra/French/French.tra with number @22007. (3b) As a quicker way of doing this, just take the whole of scs/tra/French/French.tra, add 20,000 to each string number, and paste the whole file onto the end of stratagems/tra/French/French.tra (4) Optionally, by all means provide me with translations of genuinely new strings. (But don't for goodness sake try to translate all the strings missing in v22 without raiding the already-translated versions in scs v21.) Link to comment
Silent Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi DavidW. Russian translation of SCS v22 is ready. stratagems_v22.rar Link to comment
DavidW Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Star. Many thanks. Link to comment
Graoumf Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 We're on it for the french one. I recommend to compare SCSII v21 to the language.tra of SCS v22 before: there are a lot of strings which were modified or added before @20000. Link to comment
Graoumf Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hi David, Here is the update of the french tra directory (always made by Mornagest). We tested it on a BG2 install and it works fine. Link to comment
DavidW Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Marvellous, thanks. I'm not yet ready to bring SCS back out of beta, but I'll be doing a beta v23 release shortly (probably today) and I'll include the new French and Russian translations. Link to comment
DavidW Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Incidentally, don't bother translating english_scs.tra; it's not used in game. Link to comment
Leonardo Watson Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I saw only today your request. attached is the German.TRA SCS_v23_german.zip Link to comment
Graoumf Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi David,Here is the french update for SCS v24, always made by Mornagest. Link to comment

Cahir Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Hi DawidW. I looked at the translation folder where fhere is additional folder named EE. I assume that there should be a copy of setup.tra file with changes regarding EE inside. I noticed, though, that item descriptions have the same style of statistics block as in vanilla. Mainly, I refer to usability blocks which are handled by engine itself and are not needed in item descriptions in EE. But there are some other cosmetic changes that differentiate vanilla from EE. Do you plan to change these descriptions in English version with the upcoming release of SCS29? If so, I could also adjust Polish translation to reflect EE style. Can't tell if other translators went ahead and adjust this by themselves, but IMO this should be addressed because it kind of stands out while playing EE. Thanks in advance for understanding:) Link to comment
Graoumf Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hi David, Here is the update of the french translation for v29. No hurry, I saw you have only change "SCSII -> SCS" in some strings of english.tra, and delete @15000 to @15037. french_SCS_v29.zip Link to comment

Thanks in advance for understanding:)The code in SCS should automatically strip out the "usable by" block when patching the description of an enhanced-edition item. Is this not working in Polish? (It's hard for me to test in languages I don't speak.) Link to comment
