Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
If this one is good. I will translate more map images for wesnoth.
Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
Hi. My first impression was that some names are more clear than others. E.g. forest names are good, mountain names are not so distinct. However, English variant is similar in this regard. So, your map translation is great
P.S. Wesnoth Simplified Chinese has good coverage (95.78%) https://www.wesnoth.org/gettext/ However, "Descent into Darkness" campaign has only 22.74% lines translated https://www.wesnoth.org/gettext/?view=l ... lang=zh_CN I don't know if you are interested to translate that campaign, and I don't know if translator is currently working on it https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ChineseTranslation. Posting this just in case. You know, DiD is considered one of the best Wesnoth campaigns

Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
I am interested in northerners only(And I can only play them well too). So I have no much interest in translating other factions' campaigns.
If nobody is working on translating DiD into Chinese, I may translate it.
But someone is working on translating DiD into Chinese now, and he works slowly recently.
I won't help him.
Why? You may not believe it. Actually, the more translators working on it, the speed of translating will get faster but the quality will be lower.The speed may also slow down, because it's easily to happen argument on how to translate some sentences. English is concise but Chinese is complex......
And, some translators just translate sentences one by one. They won't play the campaign or open .cfg files to check the story line and dialogs in detail.
Such as the Chinese translation of Heir To The Throne, there are a lot of mistakes in it.
Another one example.In Chinese, The "play" in "play a game record" and "play a game" is different. The translation of "continue play" button is a mistake and didn't correct even now......
Whatever, I hope he can finish it with high quality.
Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
It was interesting to hear that. I agree that several translators arguing about their work may make things worse. And perhaps it is better if a single person is working on that. Anyway, that's my opinion, I may be wrong.

Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
I forgot to tell you:
Unfortunately, most of Chinese translators quit translating for wesnoth...a long time ago.

Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
You could try contacting the current maintainer so that you don't accidentally work on the same file at the same time, and then start by fixing the translation mistakes that annoy you.

However, latest commit on the github was made a few days ago https://github.com/CloudiDust/wesnoth-cn/commits/mastergaojicainiao wrote: ↑September 4th, 2019, 12:40 pm https://wiki.wesnoth.org/ChineseTranslation

Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
Wow, I need to learn to use github.....
Thank you for telling me.
I will contact him. Then keep working on translating map images.
I do believe that few translators can translate and make translation map images successfully.
Because the old script is not suitable for new versions of GIMP. I used a version of five years ago then made it successfully.
Also, no many Chinese have the ability to use GIMP skillfully.(Photo$hop is too famous.)
So I won't do the same work accidentally.

Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
I have contacted the translation maintainer. With his assistance, I have translated and made six map images.
Two of the other four have been translated and made by another translator last year.
I will finish translating and making the last two map images soon.

Re: Map images translation in Simplified Chinese.
有没有中国玩家来看看新翻译制作的地图啊?
(Are there any Chinese players coming to see the newly translated maps?)
