FOV - german translation

Hi everybody,
AFAIK BG was published in german by the name of "Die schwarze Pforte" without the FOV-addon. This addon was. as I suppose. never translated. So, if someone would be interested in translating the missing part, would it be possible to use the already existing german parts from DSP or would it be necessary to start right from scratch?
Regards

You wiuld most likely be able to use the BG usecode for most of the parts but more translation savy people would need to say
Good luck

Sounds good - less work to be done.
It would be grand to get support by someone who is into scripting, programming an how Exult works in general. I never did stuff like that before. Iïve tried to read me into, but most of that sounds like greek to me. Iïd prefer to focus myself on translation work.
So, maybe somebody would be able to extract those files that still need to be translated. It might be helpful, but I think it neednït to be someone who speaks german at all. Besides this other help with translation of cause is welcome.
Until not long ago, I didnït even know about a german version of BG. I always played it in english. I got myself the german version and played a little into it. I quickly noticed that especially the item translations up and then donït really hit the point, so I suppose some overhaul will be necessary as well.

Don't get me wrong, you would still need to rip out the usecode for BG and then compare everything. But at least you wouldn't need to translate the already translated stuff
Even though German I'm not very interested in a translation since I rather read original English text than badly translated German one. That's in general, read too many badly translated books
