[quote name="Enkida" post="535840" timestamp="1330043261"] Wow. So, like, wow. After looking at your answer in my other thread, I looked at the install.bat and I think it needs a really good proofreading in English. Hoo. Anyway, anyone can do with this info what they will. Some of it is a direct copy from the other thread. Also, my written German is pretty crap, but at least more understandable than not having a translation at all... translation 1: "Choose your language" (completely missing) [spoiler][code=auto:0] CHOOSE YOUR LANGUAGE ══════════════════ Please choose the language for the game now. If you want to play the game in only German, press L. Otherwise the Mods will be installed in German when possible, otherwise in English. ASIAN will integrate the asian Mods into your game in your chosen version. Press A. If you do not want to make any language changes, then press Enter.[/code]By the way, this sentence doesn't really make sense to me: [code=auto:0]Andernfalls werden die Mods soweit wie möglich in Deutsch, ansonsten in Englisch installiert.[/code]It's contradicting the first sentence, logically, or the meaning of the last sentence. I think what was meant to be said here was "If you want to exclude all non-German mods, press L. Otherwise, you will install mods in German when possible, but when not possible, to install them in English instead." However the last line reads "If you don't want to make any changes, press ENTER." What does that mean? If you don't want to make any changes, press enter? If it's showing that in GERMAN when you run the install.bat in GERMAN (I guess), wouldn't that mean, "install all the mods in German anyway?" Which is the same as pressing L? I don't really get it, and I asked another (native German speaker who doesn't play BG) about it, and he didn't get it either. Logic fail somewhere in there.... Hmm, unless the last line means "don't make any changes (to the mods, which normally install by default in English, or whatever their native language was)" ... it's still not clear to a normal joe schmoe user what that is supposed to mean. There was another wording fail somewhere in the installer, something about the "install suitable mods, install unsuitable mods, or install them all" or however it was worded. I think I understood after staring at it enough what was being asked, but probably seeing the original German translation could shed some light on the ambiguous question.[/spoiler] translation 2: English to German, @119 [spoiler] [code=auto:0]Der Cespenar Audio-Bestandteil für Item Upgrade ist noch nicht bestehend.Bitte installieren Sie es in ihr Hauptverzeichnis.[/code][/spoiler] translation 3: German to English, @47 [spoiler] [code=auto:0]You haven't made a choice.
