Is it machine translated?

BlutZegue translates his mods by hand but english isn't his primary language so sometimes the grammar is weird, it's better than a machine translation though that's for certain.

Really? Props to him, even with small scale mods I tend to translate within several weeks or so, granted, I try to do a near spotless job but still, he pumped out two mods back to back recently.

Great job BlutZeuge86!

Thanks, comrade. :) STALKERvoir said it absolutely right. Yes, all my files are translated by hand. I had the last 2 weeks a lot of spare time and wanted to play the apocalypse trilogy of zaurus, finally. First I've translated the basic framework, which is usually very similar in every zaurus-mod, with a few exceptions. Game tested. Paused. Then I always translated a few hundred dialogue lines. After that I continued to play until I got to the untranslated dialogues. Game paused again, translated again, and then always so on.

Next week I will have much less time and according to that there will be less releases. I mainly use "Notepad++" for translation. The tool is simply great. And a big advantage is that I can read Russian. Of course this helps a lot. Nevertheless, it is sometimes difficult to translate everything meaningfully, because the original mods sometimes also contain spelling and grammar mistakes. But most difficult for me to translate: Russian proverbs, colloquial language, "folk wisdom" and words for which there is simply no meaningful equivalent in German or English. The disadvantage with the whole thing is that English is not my native language and I probably accidentally include too much German-influenced sentence structure and word order in the texts.


However, I hope that some of you will have some fun with the translated mods. Best regards!

That "play, pause, translate, test" routine is what makes it tedious for me and the reason it takes a couple of weeks to translate mods, even shorter ones.

I was actually translating and 85% finished with the mod "Gott Mit Uns" but stopped a couple of months back due to playing the same mod over and over to test it was getting tedious. I will surely get back to it though, seeing as more people are taking their time and breaking down the language barrier between Stalkers is fantastic, and I see it as a duty for the community.

Of course some words and sentences will be lost during translation, cultural differences and the like, it is expected. English isn't my native language neither, but hey, it is better than no translation and somebody has to do it!

Here's to seeing more obscure mods in English, and thanks again my friend.

You're absolutely right! I don't really have to add anything else. :)

But I would also be very happy about a corrected and cleaned up "Gott mit uns" version. I've played through the machine translated version, but that's always a bit unsatisfying. I also work on handmade translations of the other 3 mods of the "V.I.V.I.E.N.T. Team":

"White Squad", "Good life contract" and "Bad life contract: Butterfly effect". They are the same authors as on "Gott mit Uns". At the moment I paused the translation because I wanted to finish the zaurus-mods first.

Best regards

I hope you like it. The beginning is a bit strange, but once you've found your way in, it's fun. At least that's how it was for me. :)

You're welcome. :) But I'm surprised you had problems with the archive. Actually the mods are all optimized for version 1.0004. But it's nice if you can play it now. Does anyone else have problems with the archives?

The files are all tested and functional. Often there are problems with unpacking if you use 7zip or an older version of winrar. I recommend testing it with the latest version of Winrar: Win-rar.com

If it still doesn't work, try a mirror for the download or write me again. A screenshot would also be nice. Have a nice day.

Addition:
I downloaded the archive again for testing and unpacked it with the following programs:

winrar 5.71
7zip ver:19.00
winzip24
peazip-6.9.2

No errors. Everything works without issues. Please make sure that your operating system is always up to date. Independent of the mod. This avoids many errors. Best regards
