Howdy!
I can do this translation in no time if you want me to. When do you want it to be done and what the reward will be?)

PM sent.I mailed you before. did you get it?

Bearing in mind that you're, as you say, totally broke I can suggest doing it for free. Anyway, I've got nothing to do while looking for a job - language practice will take place 

Ok. It's time for me to go to bed. 3.25 a.m. already. Keep me posted.

I put Killap in touch with 3 guys.  I am not sure if they are actually doing anything though (unlikely), as Killap is managing the translation.   I would suggest a couple of other guys step up and help out.

Hi, guys! English is not my native, so don’t judge strictly.

I need help in translation to Russian.

As you probably know, in 2006 an official localization of F2 was made by some company named “1C”.  I spent all the last weekend experimenting with game files, and here are my thoughts. In Russian version all (not sure about all, but at least their major part) *.MSG files are encoded in CP1251 or CP866 and English *.EXE file doesn’t read them properly. On the other hand, Russian *.EXE  file is not supported by SFall. So I see two variants: either modification of English *.EXE can be made (if there are any sources), or SFall (but I’m not sure it’ll help).

That was one problem. Another one is that half of the texts are already translated. All I need is a small tool that will do actions like these:
1.   Read two files dir11/file11.msg (English) and dir22/file22.msg (Russian). Files have the same name.
2.   Search in the file11 a first string with some number (ignoring comments) and search in the second one a string with the same number.
3.   If a coincidence is found, skip the string. If not, paste in file22 a string from file11 and write this string to a file22.LOG.

This pretty simple utility will help much to make the game look like original “1C” translation + Killap’s RP in English. Having this, we could move forward.

Now I have RP installed on the “1C” Fallout 2 v.1.2. It works, but I’m not sure, does it work correctly. For example, I have some issues with automaps – in Arroyo there is a superfluous one named ‘Desert’ and there are no maps in a Primitive tribe and in Abbey. Also I didn’t succeed in finding EPA on the world map.

Let’s discuss.

Hi! I’ve got good news!

A new Google.code project for Russian translation of “Killap’s Fallout 2 Restoration Project v.2x.x” was started here Fallout 2 Restoration Project RU. All you need to help it with the translation is to download any Subversion client (for example Tortoise SVN), checkout a repository using it, contact me and get a committer’s role. That’s all! Now you can really help!

There are many advantages in such a system of collaboration. You can learn them by yourself from Google or Wikipedia. The main one is that you always may have a current version of the translation. No duplicate work! No waste of time!  The goal now may be reachable! :)

And still we need a programmer to make that utility I described above.

Please, feel free to join us!
