Re: [Adonthell-general] Docs for Translations...

[Sasha Kushnirenko]

Hi,

There was a discussion about translations.  As I started to look into
russian translation I wrote a little web page which have step by step
instruction how to get you favorite language into the game (well there is a
step which include translation of about 1000 lines - but I bet you can handle
it :)

If any of this will be useful for experts who work on adonthell translation
documentation - please feel free to use.

Hope it helps,
Sasha.
