Hello! I just wanted to inform everyone that I've recently released the last beta version of my swedish translation of The Secret of Monkey Island. You need the CD version (obtainable from GOG/Special Edition) and patch the data files using an IPS patcher. The game's text, graphics and verb grid hav...

During the parrot scene the verbs are exchanged, so a simple swap of any verbs that didn't fit was easy. The death Easter egg is in a completely different file (0017) and uses some weird enumeration for the spots. 02, 04, 08, 06, 0A, 07 and so forth

I noticed that the death easter egg verb grid has different values, since they have no function connected to them. I hacked together a version for my translation where I couldn't get "Stare" to fit where it's supposed to be. I'll do more experiments using the original data and will update ...

Great! This will help a lot of people trying to translate the game! Cheers

Nice. I'll probably do Maniac Mansion next as well. There's already an official Swedish version released for the NES but it's all censored and badly translated. Length constraints might be interesting.

Nice! Are there any major differences between versions, in for example Maniac Mansion?

I've managed to reverse engineer the verb grid, I will disclose the info after implementing into my translation and doing some tests.

EDIT: Success!

Happy new year:

The SE isn't translated but one can extract the original CD version off it. The patch works on any CD edition of SOMI, I only used the German version as basis as it already had modified verbs. After applying the English scripts I was able to translate it from there. The patch is binary modification ...

I used German version with English script as I haven't found yet where to reorder the verbs. I will make a deep dive later on and see if I can hack this myself as I want "talk to" rather than simply "talk". If anyone knows where I can change this, please give a shout. Beta 2 (ful...

Just a quick update on the project I started roughly a year ago. Finally managed to begin translating The Secret of Monkey Island to Swedish! Fonts are updated and am currently plowing through the script. After that I will translate some graphics and then the tedious proof reading process can begin....

I've recently found the tools for extracting dialog from SCUMM games and I've been beginning to fiddle with some translation. I noticed early on that swedish å/Å isn't supported by the default charset, however the rest are (I'm guessing because german also has ä/ö). My question is, how easy is it to...

I'm bumping this thread! Please read first post.

Should we scale down the King's Quest-icons? Whatcha think?
