Hello everyone,

I’m a andalusian (southern Spain) guy that loves Morrowind and I’m following your work for years, great job! Really amazing.

I would like to translate Tamriel Rebuilt to spanish language and make it compatible with spanish unofficial translation, that spanish speaking people use very often (personally I use both, english version and spanish too). I think that my english reading and translation skills are really better than my expression skills so… probably I could make a good job translating TR.

I made translations of some of your old releases in 3 maps, but only for my personal use, and now I would like to share with spanish speaking community and help to spread a little more your marvelous mega-mod.

What do you think?

I’m not a part of Tamriel Rebuilt Team, but translation is still just a mod and you can freely mod Tamriel Rebuilt.

Thank you very much for answer, Undertaker.

I just wanted to report to development team my intention to translate TR just in case there is any problem with this.

I have also written here only for knowing if developers advise to wait for the next version 16.09 (if this version introduces many changes, in addition to the change of "data structure") or if they believe that it's advisable to start with version 16.03., since the new naming system maybe makes the transfer of translated text, problematic.

Well, I don't like to disturb, I'm sure that developers are too busy, but I think I will wait some days or some week to see if anybody one can answer me.

Thanks!

Hi, you’re welcome to translate TR to Spanish, no problem.

There have been translations in the past (I’ve played the once-upon-a-time German translation), and I’d be happy to see more translations. It’s a monumental task and Morrowind’s data structure makes keeping up the English release pretty daunting, I imagine. TR1609 will create a massive amount of surplus work since it unifies assets from three different province mods, so if you are able base your translation off that, you will be far better off in the long run.

I think TR in the past has been contend to just sit there and let translations happen. We might want to help you translators along, but don’t quite know how to. If you go about translation TR into Spanish, please supply feedback to your pitfalls, so we know how to accomodate translations in the future.

This is supposed to be plugin translator, but I’m yet to try it.

Hi Atrayonis, thanks for answer.

Good, so I’m going to begin with some large texts (books for example) out the current build and  I will begin with the inside translation with TR 16.09. And yeah, any problem (or doubt) I’ll let you know.

Undertaker I’ll try that translator, but sometimes the use of that tools  is not that simple how “local translation” + some words in the dictionary, how the description claim,  the resulting texts sometimes are too literal,  limited because the different structure of languages. I don’t know how works with polish (or the another slavic language that the images shown), but Spanish usually build the sentences with a little less different words than english but with far more complex grammar (more morpho-syntactical variations). But I will try, maybe that could make the translation easier. Thanks!

Hello, I see that this is an old post but I am interested in helping out to make a Spanish translation for TR. To be honest I stumbled upon this post because at the time of this writing I am looking for a Spanish translation patch but it seems there ain't one available yet. If there is a Spanish translation still going on I'll be glad to join, because it seems that there are quite a lot of topics that aren't displayed on the mainland NPC's due to the dialogue being in English and the game language being in spanish.

Andalú si todavía andas haciendo una traducción de TR mándame mensaje me gustaría ayudar con las traducciones siendo que es una tarea enorme por lo que tengo entendido, saludos.
