If I'm not mistaken, I already send you files in the past but there was no response from you...
Nevermind if you still want to help then contact our editing director Snikers http://www.nma-fallout.com/members/snikers.62085/ all the editing process goes through him.

But keep in mind you must have at least some decent knowledge in English language and writing, and as well you must know Fallout 1&2 games. The structure of text files and things you should watch out for will be explained to you or you can check your mail box to see the guide I sent you.
Contact him he will give you some files to see how you'll do.

I've done the first lot of files I was given, they weren't too bad except one really long script for NCStrikr, his editing needed a lot of changes and concentration to fix as it was sometime hard to understand what tense really needed to be used as the grammar structure in the sentence conflicted, but such is life when translating from Russian to English!

I used a bit of artistic licencing in a few places to make the script feel a bit more like authentic English to native speakers, but the meaning all stays the same. Hope that's ok ;) Also made a couple sentence seem a little less dry and more like a conversation by dropping in a few phrases and exchanging some words which are translated correctly but not used very often in that sense with typically used words.

I'm really trying to get a good feel for the environment in Nevada here, but the resolution is pissing me off much more than I thought it would! I've tried fucking around with the configuration files in the folder, but I must be doing something wrong.

If someone has an answer, fan-fucking-tastic! If not, but you've somehow had success... PLEASE! Post a copy of your config file in the link. I'm sure I could compare and figure it out that way by myself as well. Thanks boys, I appreciate any advice.

Great site for dropping small files like .ini etc. No sign up, just drop and leave:

If any of you translators or editors need more help with improving/perfecting the English translation, please let me know.
I'd love to be involved.

Then you did a really fantastic job out there.
 
Hi saw this mod/translation on retrospective gaming channel. If you want any help I can lend a hand, love the fallout games and this translation/mod looks really interesting and something I would like to play when it release. I have some limits experience from college with website design and programming, so editing text may not be to much a stretch, I have played all fallout games bar BOS, and I truly prefer the Frist and second, their dialogue was much better. So if you need any files checked though I be happy to help.
 
Hi, I understand that the translation is not complete yet (and thank you so much for working on that!) But at this stage is there a playable "beta" version or are we talking about files not integrated with the game? Cheers!

There was a Google-translated version earlier in this thread somewhere, which is sufficient to complete the game (I did so) even though you'll be missing a lot.

Currently, a few towns are fully translated and edited, but some other locations have not been touched.
 
Hi Dionis I admire your dedication for the fallout fans, I was wondering how is the progress going on the translation.
thanks
 
I installed the google translated one over GOG's version of fallout 2. The normal executable gives me an error saying it was expecting "Fallout 2 v1.02 US" and the HR executable launch the game then crashes during character creation. Anyone had these troubles?
 
Uhm, you're not meant to install this over a game of Fallout 2 though. Fallout of Nevada is a standalone file that you download from here.
 
BTW, the game is awesome! Even with the google translate version is perfectly playable and very well done (obviously you do lose background story and interesting dialogs)! Does anyone know if there are companions? I'm probably around 8h into the game (only started new reno though) and haven't met anyone I could recruit...
 
They were cut due to various reasons. Companions wouldn't fit into the game anyway.

It is.
But from the recent discussion with Dionis I concluded that he's currently experiencing a burnout and is quite frustrated with the state of translation. Presently I'm working on my part of the files he sent me. I assume, they will be done by the end of the week, it's about 100 Kb of text.

The lack of updates is killing me. :(

Please , I hope this project is still alive.No rush or anything, just that it's still being worked on.

Unfortunately, while we have a lot of people touching up the English texts, the actual translation all comes down to Dionis, who is experiencing technical difficulties that are slowing him down considerably. The project is not dead by any means, but things might be slow for a while.
 
Just make sure to regularly save everything that's already available, it'd be a waste to lose it by accident.
