Iena · 01 January 2007, 14:41

Hi to all , i want to start the translation from Italian to English of this Adventure game from Simulmondo here is what i have in mind :

1) Extraction of the text files for the english translation
2) Translation from Italian to English
3) Correction from a native english guy
4) Whdload version of the game
5) Translation of manual from Italian to English
6) Correction from a native english guy
7) Pdf version of the manual

I will do the translations , i need help with the extraction of the text files of the game.

The game is an adventure , you are a private detective with 24h of time to solve the case.

Thx Diego.

wish you a good work! i'm sure someone will be able to help resource it as the project is interesting indeed.

That rocks! It will give a chance to non-Italian gamers to complete it, as I've been stuck at some point for 15 years now...

I commend you for your intent Iena... but I'm afraid all the help I'm capable of giving is just what you've already committed to do yourself... translations.

Perhaps I can extract text files from this game. If I remember right I ripped all files from this game, when I ripped game music. Then you can send to me email at donadan@wp.pl.

Well, I guess ripping the text would be one first step towards a solution. Are you still up to it?

I sent italian text files to translator many months ago. I don't know current status of this project. Perhaps project is stopped, similar like my translation project of "Death Or Glory" (no german translator for mission texts is available).

Heck, if there are no news yet, I hereby commit to translate IN1999 myself! Shall we?

(I've subscribed to the thread so hopefully I won't miss new posts this time around!)

Hey, being italian i might help, however am planning to do an homage game with GRAC once have enough time (and going more toward semi-serious approach)

Never played the game, but I've translated quite a few games in the past (most are unreleased as I'm too lazy to finalise them

). Never touched an Amiga games before though when it comes to translating (mostly DOS, SNES and GBA - PSP as well) so it could be an interesting project for me!

How many lines of text are we talking about here? How long is the game itself? (As every good translation needs context awareness, I definitely need to finish the game before even thinking of translating it)

We could form a collaborative translation effort with a spreadsheet on Google Docs

Well, someone has finally completed it. A hintbook in Italian was compiled as a Scratchpad on http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Ita..._1999_Hintbook

It might be worth starting an actual Simulmondo wiki on Wikia and making this part of it, who knows.

By the way, the game is disseminated with red herrings - useless objects, useless courses of action, even useless interface commands... like it was supposed to be a much bigger game but was cut down.
