Important! if notepad mentions an issue with the characters you used save it as a unicode text. This ensures you dont mess up the text (default was ansi - russian characters cant be handled with it).

That won't be an issue anymore actually. I just created the original file with the wrong encoding. But I pass the blame off to Icarus cause he sent me the TEXT instead of the FILE so I was forced to make it :p

Me and hellfire noticed something that might be a problem - when people make changes to your txt, there's no easy way to tell what, and why. Something like an "updatelog.txt", could already be enough to counter that.

Japanese
- base translation (guy)
- proofread, no complaint (dude)

Latin
- base translation (lad)
- changed "plaustrum" to "currus" (closer to original meaning) (boy)

adding additional files would just confuse, lets keep it inside the file, and just say what you basically did some lines further down

example:

translated text, blablabla, blablabla *eyample blablabla...

-------
*changed x for y because this and that....

that way we won´t litter the folders and keep the discussion between the translators

if both translators agree, the file can be cleaned and is ready to go

I'll do Polish, but keep in mind I usually don't have a lot of time during the week; I'll try my hardest though.

Why there was no notification of new map to translate?
