Information

When a game is being developed, typically only 1 language is used by the development team. In some cases, the developers will also build translations for some other major languages, however this is not common for several reasons...

It complicates the development of the game
It costs time and money to do the translation, both of which are limited
Often the costs outway the benefit, as games in alternate languages don't sell well

There are several groups on the internet that address this issue by providing translations for games. However, it can often be hindered because the languages are hard to find, or use a proprietary file format. What this means is that translations are slow, and a programmer needs to be involved to translate the files back and forward.

Game Translator, following in the footsteps of Game Extractor, provides a simple interface for translating a number of games into different languages. Through the use of plugins, it can easily support new games, and the common interface makes for faster and more efficient translations.

Furthermore, Game Translator can be used by anyone who wants to change the language in a game, such as changing the names of enemy teams, and renaming players, weapons, or cars.

The interface is quick and simple - all the strings are loaded up into a table for you, so you just have to go through them one at a time and change it to the translation. If the language file contains other parameters such as code names or formatting options, they will also be shown, allowing you to completely modify the language to suit your needs. If unicode is supported by the language pack, it will be used.

I hope you enjoy the use of Game Translator and find it helpful to your needs. I welcome any advice, suggestions, and comments - please use the contact link at the left of the page. Thank you.
