Hello Dafedz, I have a small idea concerning your appelation %Empire%. In fact, I would like to make a French translation of your texts and here is my idea. :

It would be nice if the word %Empire% is modifiable in some sentences and to create a page of description as the text below:
(I saw that in the string table of BOTE) and it gave me the idea to make the same thing for all other languages of translation. What do you think of it?

%TheEmpire%
-------------- (with article in the beginning of a sentence)
The Cardassian Union
The United Federation Of Planets
The Klingon Empire
The Romulan Star Empire
The Dominion

example:
your modified text:
%TheEmpire% gave %Total% credits %toEmpire% in a manoeuvre of diplomatic bargaining.
The United Federation Of Planets gave 200 credits to the Klingon Empire in a manoeuvre of diplomatic bargaining.

my translate:
%TheEmpire% a donné %Total% crédits %toEmpire% dans une manoeuvre de négociation diplomatique.
La Fédération des Planets Unies a donné 200 crédits à l'Empire Klingon dans une manoeuvre de négociation diplomatique.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%theEmpire% (with article in the middle of a sentence)
---------------
the Cardassian Union
the United Federation Of Planets
the Klingon Empire
the Romulan Star Empire
the Dominion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and also
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%femEmpire% (internal security, fleet, technology, sabotage team, sabotage squad.....etc)
-------------
Cardassian
Federation
Klingon
Romulan
Dominion

example:
your modified text:
The %femEmpire% fleet consists of a single ship.
The Cardassian fleet consists of a single ship.

my translate:
La flotte %femEmpire% se compose d'un simple vaisseau.
La flotte Cardassienne se compose d'un simple vaisseau.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%mascEmpire%
-------------- (controller, engine core, scientific department, spy, territory.....etc)
Cardassian
Federation
Klingon
Romulan
Dominion

example:
your modified text:
An agent placed inside the %mascEmpire% territory has died in an accident. Foul play is suspected, but no proof was discovered.
An agent placed inside the Romulan territory has died in an accident. Foul play is suspected, but no proof was discovered.

my translate:
Un agent placé à l'intérieur du territoire %mascEmpire% est décédé dans un accident. Un acte criminel est soupçonné, mais aucune preuve n'a été découverte.
Un agent placé à l'intérieur du territoire Romulien est décédé dans un accident. Un acte criminel est soupçonné, mais aucune preuve n'a été découverte.

-------------------------------------
%femPluralEmpire%
------------------- (espionage activities,scientific structures......etc)
Cardassian
Federation
Klingon
Romulan
Dominion

example:
your modified text:
Surveillance of an accountant in the economics department has revealed that he is an active agent for %theEmpireCitizens%. Items discovered include plans for assassinations and their technical arrangements. %femPluralEmpire% activities may be deterred for a long time.
Surveillance of an accountant in the economics department has revealed that he is an active agent for the Klingons. Items discovered include plans for assassinations and their technical arrangements. The Klingon activities may be deterred for a long time.

my translate:
La surveillance d'un comptable dans le département de l'économie a révélé qu'il est un agent actif pour %theEmpireCitizens%. Les articles découverts incluent des plans pour des assassinats et leurs dispositions techniques. Les activités %femPluralEmpire% peuvent être dissuadées pendant une longue période de temps.

Good idea starfleet.command. We have a number of people waiting to translate into other languages like Russian, Romanian, Portagease....
This would give them a place to start.

It would be necessary that Dafedz agree to study together and see the modifications to bring.
I am convinced that it would make a very simple support simple for the other translations.

I've sent Dafedz a PM with a link to your thread, starfleet. I haven't actually seen him on the forums in a while though, so i'll give him a nudge if I see him on MSN as well.

Of course starfleet go ahead with whatever suits you. But I can't at all help with the translation itself, not being exactly fluent in French...


(sorry for the delay in getting back to you)

Hey guy, it's just the way to do it!!! not translate it. i just gave you some sample of my idea.
In fact, i make the translate myself, i just need of your opinion on the word %empire% and the formula that I propose to you, ok?

(I began to translate the "en.txt" demo file and others files of your diplomacy page)

What I'll probably end up doing is allow complex expressions to be embedded in the text, which gives you the ability to inject just about anything from the game context.
