This "addon" only includes english translations for Arsenal Overhaul port for Call of Misery. It is not addon itself, all credits to authors of Call of Misery, Call of Chernobyl, Arsenal Overhaul and people who translated the files. I've only merged translation files.
How is it merged/translated:
I've wrote short program to read xml files (which contain translations), program adds missing lines for new weapons from Arsenal Overhaul to original Call of Misery english translation. This way all Call of Misery's items descriptions are not touched, only new Arsenal Overhaul's weapons descriptions are added.
Releases:
2017-04-08: merged AO and CoM eng translation files for CoM 1.0d + AO_1.0.3 port.
2017-04-29: added 5 missing translations
Versions and installation:
The weapon translation files are prepared for CoM 1.0d + AO_1.0.3.
1. Install CoM or patch it if You have earlier version than 1.0d: Stalker-gaming.ru
2. Install AO for CoM (unpack and overwrite data): Stalker-gaming.ru
or this: Yadi.sk (I believe second is most up to date, although translation files will work with both),
3. Install english translation for CoM (unpack and overwrite data): Moddb.com
4. Install this AO translation by extracting and overwriting previously installed CoM translation (it will overwrite only 2 files needed by AO).
5. Ready to go
Remember that if You start using AO it will not work with previous save games (pre AO). If you get crashes You should report these to AO and CoM authors, the translation files itself won't cause any crash.
If You find any bugs in translations (like wrong description for AO weapon because primarly descriptions are taken from CoM) then feel free to report it here, I'll try to provide the update, but please list mods and versions of mods which You use (if any different than I described in installation instructions above).

Tool for XML:
Only if you want to merge some other translation files by yourself: Github.com
p.s. Also thanks to crazyiscombine for inspiration.
I've added 2 links for different versions of AO for CoM in description, second (AO_for_CoM_1.1.1.7z) is most up to date according to readme. Translation files will work for both.
Added link in description to XmlTool I've wrote, if you want to merge some other translation files feel free to use it: Github.com
Moddb.com
I think you did a useless job
Yeah the one you mentioned does the job, I'm using it for a quite a while.
The addon you mention is full AO installation + eng translation + additional tweaks according to description. I prepared only eng files for original AO port, this one: Yadi.sk.
If Moddb.com works for you then it's fine and you can stick to it. I find original AO port more stable.
Additionaly the files I've prepared do favour Misery translations over AO. It means that only missing AO translations will be added, Misery ones will stay untouched. I don't know if this has been solved by crazyiscombine because some time ago he wrote this (I believe it's him): Reddit.com
According to this post the translation files in addon you link might be incomplete, can't confirm that, maybe peych13 or someone who uses it can say if there is anything missing (like knife descriptions).
Also, the program itself can be used for further merging translations if new version of CoM will ever be released. It will take few minutes instead of hours/days of work.
All in all I did it for myself, but decided to share it anyway for people who have issues with the version you link.
Cheers!
That was me yes, and I did fix the missing translations a long time ago including knives and etc.
Nice. How was it done, you checked id by id and included missing ones in Misery or used some tool?
Yeah it was mostly id by id, sometimes descriptions were missing in game because the id name didn't match the descriptions id.
I used notepad++, other than that there really isn't any tools that I know of.
Roger that. Now there are is at least one tool. ;)
Updated missing translations based on crazyiscombine's version:
st_wpn_
st_wpn_scar_h
st_wpn_scar_h_descr
st_addon_scope_c_more
st_addon_scope_c_more_descr
I've also updated software, it was previously overriding ids, now it only adds missing ones as stated earlier, although I think I will add option for override also because it just worked fine for this kind of job. It is possible to dl software from there: Github.com
Nowadays I plan to make Polish translations for both AO + CoC and AO + CoM.
