Re: Undocumented SE4 i18n! Modders rejoice!
Looks like it, and as I said, even down to the data files. So they can mod in Portuguese as well. If they get as hooked as the rest of us.
Only down side, the file is a nice big 415K, with around 5400 lines of text that would need to be translated. While a bunch are pretty similar from line-to-line (eg "System Resource Gen Modifier"), it would still take quite a bit of time to do the search replace just for that file; and even longer to translate the rest of the data files. But there's room there for a start. Estimating from my own (rather poor) Spanish skills, I would probably take a few months at about an hour or two a night to translate a meg and a half of data files via search/replace... and a lot faster if I just wrote a program that would take the relevant strings from all the files, pass it to a computer-translation software package, and write it out to new files in a different language. Too bad I have no idea how to do that at this point, and too bad some of the translations would be... strange.
