Hey there,

Please, can someone give me the French language files?

Would be nice. :3

No official French localization is known for this game.

There is a inofficial Italian translation for practically all the Text.
There might is the same thing in French.

How ever as Plokite_Wolf pointed out there is not a offical French version, so there are no professional French voice overs for this game.

-- If you should feel the urge to create a translation read on --

There is a Mod that contains the files that you would need to look at if you would ever decide to make your own French Translation: https://www.moddb.com/mods/colony7-for-ef2/downloads/german-english-dual-compatibility-languagepack

PK3-Files can be opened with a Archiver like 7-Zip or any other Program that can open ZIP files, as they are basically renamed ZIP-Archives.

The relevant files that would need to be modified have the extension .loc, but are basically just renamed text files and can be opened with Notepad.

This is where the loc-files would be located in that Mod:
ef2_sprachpacket_languagepack_de_en_v2.zip\english\zlocpak3_text-en.pk3\loc\Eng\stringresource\

You can extract the loc-files to your game folder and edit them from there start the game and see the changes.
If you don't have these folders in your game install folder, create them, except for the /base/ folder as it should already exist.
/base/loc/Eng/stringresource/

Thank you very much for this informations, the German mod that allows to edit the texts seems promising. I will look at what I can do with it.

Fell free to ask me anytime if there are questions towards ef2

Je suis également intéressé par une trad française. J'ai jeté un oeil aux fichiers et effectivement c'est assez simple a changer mais y a un sacré boulot. Je vais voir si j'arrive a avancer un peu (j'ai démarrer sur le fichier "globalstrings" qui est le plus gros, 67 pages et 10 000 mots en tout, en réalité dans les 4000 a traduire).

Je promet pas d'y arriver rapidement, mais vu la faciliter pour les modifier ça me semble faisable, après evidemment ça demandera son lot de test et de vérification pour éviter les débordements en jeu, bug etc... Pour l'instant j'ai fais les 4 premieres pages, juste pour voir le rythme, c'était facile et rapide car c'est essentiellement des menus. Mais j'ai pas encore tester pour la simple et bonne raison que j'ai pas encore acheté (racheté m^me, j'avais le jeu en version boite j'ai d'ailleurs certainement encore le cd pas loin... mais j'ai plus de lecteur ^_^). M'enfin ça viendra certainement dans les prochaines semaines.

Bref je tiendrais au jus d'ici fin decembre pour faire cas de mes avancements (et si par hasard d'autre francophone veulent s'y mettre hésitez pas a indiquer quel fichier vous traduisez qu'on soit pas sur les même, moi je devrais avoir de quoi faire avec globalstrings.loc).

----------------------------

I am also interested in a French translation. I took a look at the files and it's actually quite easy to change but it's a lot of work. I'll see if I can make some progress (I started on the "globalstrings" file which is the biggest one, 67 pages and 10 000 words in total, in fact in the 4000 to translate).

I don't promise to get there quickly, but considering how easy it is to modify them it seems feasible, after obviously it will require a lot of testing and verification to avoid in-game overflows, bugs etc... For the moment I've done the first 4 pages, just to see the rhythm, it was easy and fast because it's essentially menus. But I haven't tested it yet for the simple reason that I haven't bought it yet (even bought it back, I had the game in boxed version and I certainly still have the cd not far away... but I don't have a player anymore ^_^). But it will come in the next few weeks ;).

Anyway I'll keep you informed by the end of december to report my progress (and if by any chance other french speaking people want to get involved don't hesitate to indicate which file you are translating so we are not on the same ones, I should have enough to do with globalstrings.loc :D).

Hi Duke,
that sounds good.

It is a text file, it is not suppose to have pages like a word document, so I am just wondering what you mean by Pages ?

If you have questions about the game files you can ask me any time.
