BF1 Morgansfort - German Translation
BF1 Morgansfort - German Translation
Hi folks,
This weekend I have started translation work on BFRPG's "BF1 Morgansfort" to create a German language version of this introductory module. I will pin any files ready for your perusal and critique to this entry post.
For the main body of text I will be using Open Office for now. If there are any ready-made formats for Open Office conforming to the layout style of BFRPG, please let me know where to find them ('cause I really suck at layouting and haven't had much experience with it). Thanks in advance for your interest!

You could use the original document as a template or use the templates found here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2333Argamae wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 6:05 pm For the many body of text I will be using Open Office for now.

As for layout don't worry about it, Solo will go over the layout once you get the translation done.

Use the original document, and change the text in place. If decorative artwork messes up your flow, delete it and I'll deal with it later.
If you send me an unformatted "galley" I must warn you the book may never make it to print. It's just too hard to retroactively do all that formatting all over again.

Just last week I thought it would be nice to have that module in german language. I'm eager to see the result.

Hello folks,
just a quick update on the state of things. I have done about 10 pages which is rather slow progress up to now. Main reason is another translation project which is now being finished so I expect to progress much faster over the course of April.
You take care for now.

Re: BF1 Morgansfort - German Translation
I was wondering about the isometric maps of Morgansfort. Is there a way to change the text in the original graphic? Same with the map of Morgansfort and surroundings.
Work is progressing although not a fast as I had hoped. Translation of introduction, background and Morgansfort descriptions is complete. Translation of the Olde Island Fortress is underway.

Welcome Argamae,
I am very pleased to hear that we have another german translator.
I would also apreciate to have Morgansfort translated to german language.
If you mean the inscribes in pictures on page 6, 10 and 11, then I can do these changes for you.
Please send me your german translations per pm and I will send you the changed images back.

Thanks for the offer, HeptorColeslaw. As soon as I have finalized the translation I'll gladly do that.HeptorColeslaw wrote: ↑Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:03 pm Welcome Argamae,
