old Unreal Software Translations [WIP]

This is a project inspired somewhat by the fabulous thread us Unreal Software - Pink Design v1.6.

One of the most requested ideas for the site has arguably been translating it into other languages. It's a lot of work, so it's understandable that it won't be implemented natively for a while still. But who needs native implementations?

This project is a script I've written over the last couple of days using Greasemonkey. It translates the Unreal Software website on the client side, using translation files hosted on my GitHub repo. The script uses cookies to store the active translation file.

The script is still being tested, and it's far from complete. I've entered some initial values into the text files (mostly to translate the Portal page), and I'll be working on it alone for a little while. Eventually I'll compile a full list of strings that are able to be translated and share it with everyone - I will happily accept all translations on GitHub, provided they're good quality.

In no way does this condone posting content in different languages. This script is meant to help people understand the site's structure and rules better - all content must still be in English or German, as per the rules.

You can see some early screenshots below (forgive my poor Brazilian Portuguese translation )

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Great now I can finally translate fire to flames and flashlight to torches. That's been bugging me ever since I heard 'murica had their own English version when I was young.

If you ever need a Dutch one, I'm here.

That's great! Maybe when I'll have my spare time I'll dedicate the rest of it at translating this site into Italian once you've finished testing the script and compiling the full list of strings.

Thanks everyone for your support, I'll be glad to have your help on this. You can make an account on GitHub and contribute to the repo once I've got a reference.

I've made some progress - the number of strings has grown from 35 to 103 since the initial announcement. The portal page, the shared footer and the forum list, thread list and single thread pages are more or less translated.

Once there are enough strings in the system I will make a reference file and accept translations from all of you.
