Re: BouT englische Texte

Excuse me - somehow I took it for granted that you'd speak german given that you've translated all ingame texts of a _german_ game. Now that I learn that you don't I'm even more curious about how you managed to create the english version of all the texts & dialog! :O

I'm one of the programmers involved in creating the game so I know that all the data is easily available in a pretty human (and machine) readable format and easy to modify but my first guess was that some work-in-progress data from the official localisation had gone into the wrong hands! I just thought I'd drop you some lines to let you know that you really impressed me there... Curious to see what my collegues have to say about it when I'm back from vacation. It's great to see how much effort and enthusiasm fans put into creating walkthroughs, reviews, posters or even english subtitles. )

So thanks for that nice surprise and rest assured - an official translation is coming! I'm really impatient too but on the other side I'm glad they (as the developer we have only provided the tools but are not involved in the localization) don't rush it. Part of what made Bout a success in germany is the quality of the dialog, the humor and the great voice acting... there's so much to mess up when not localizing it properly.^^

Cheers,
Thomas

It was on 2009 and since then i didnt hear from them about any legal translation or privecy or anythingl ike that.

Maybe im wrong here but specific in this game i dont see any translation problem with the law. " It's great to see how much effort and enthusiasm fans put into creating walkthroughs, reviews, posters or even english subtitles"

Maybe in movie its something else. Maybe the publisher of this game Jwood thinking something else. But its on youtube since 2009 and more then 3000 ppl viewed it and downloaded the subtitles. Im sure if it wasnt legal or something they were asking me or youtube to remove it.

But again maybe im wrong.
