Well, it's almost a full add-on, as far as I can see. However, we don't need to translate everything, I think we need to translate only the parts which are an absolut necessity.
So, even if google translate isn't perfect, as long as we can understand the general idea, we can play the game.
I am willing to pay for this mod, I've read about it on the russian forum and it seemes very interesting.

It would be awsome to have this translated, I downloaded the mod, as I figure it wouldnt hurt to at least try and use a online translator to translate it (its a start, and we have to start somwhere) and then once that was done, one of our russian friends could go through and fix up the rest,(I realize that the cultural refs and such would not make sense, but if we dont at least start the translation..) unfourtunatly, I learned that as I have windows 7 home premium, I cant install the russian lang pack unless I upgrade to ultimate edition, but I dont have the money to do so, so the russian lang just is a bunch of symbols on my computer

Yes awesome mod so far and i tried to translate it, units and specials mostly but the translators simply messup the code and put "spaces" where it must not, hence breaking the code. Several translators all do the same errors. It worked in part but the info tooltips we're garbage letters because of the spaces. There was LUA errors too (special_hint.lua) related to non-translated mismatched names and info.

Here's what it did in the translate
cpi_defense_res_D=^def_hint_t1^[dis](Защищен)[/c]
=
cpi_defense_res_D = ^ def_hint_t1 ^ [dis] (protected) [/ c]

If anyone interested in further check localization\eng_units.lng, eng_units_features.lng, eng_units_specials.lng

Renamed from rus_units..lng etc

here are some screens that show some units, their abilities and some other new stuff:



as you can see, text on screens is in english, so good news everyone, translation is on the way!

Omg awesome

I wish i could help.

[ShadowTek]

Great news!! Thanks for your hard work to do this!!

[Mandea]

Awesome news. Do you like the mod, is it good? it seems to be from what I've been reading about it.

Oh, hmm, that's true. I installed the Russian language pack because it's really helpful to have when modding King's Bounty.

You're my hero. >:3 I don't know Russian well but if you need me to do any file or editor grunt work of sorts I'll be willing to help.

When finishing on the translating, tell me. There are some bugs, which meant to be fixed, i'll give it to you.

Great job on translating.
Gorgul Council meant to be named Genom Council.

Thanks everyone for your support, i appreciate it a lot!

@Mandea - there's so much new stuff (new quests, characters, units, items, item sets, companions, locations, whole new race, new race features....), so it's not just mod, it's much more than that, a true expansion and it is amazing to play
Your units now gather experience and level-up upgrading their characteristics, but enemy units are leveling and upgrading too, so there's a need for a whole new tactical approach, especially in the early part of the game. Trust me, stack of 200 upgraded Berserkers with +1 speed and initiative can be really scary

@fillyra - unfortunately, at least some basic knowledge of Russian is needed to be of any kinda help, but i appreciate your offer

@zini4_tha_grunt - thank you very much, i hope to finish "other" by the end of the week and i'll send it to you right away so you can correct all wrong unit names and some other miss-translations.
I'll try to translate quests too, but like i said it to you before, all new text regarding conversations is a too big bite for me to chew right now and with my "humble" knowledge of both languages in question, it would take me forever to translate it properly, so i hope there are some guys among your team willing to do this part.


cheers
