The release of the patch is not based on the progress of the translations at all. The only reason the patch hasn't been released yet is because it still doesn't exist.

I think most people have realized this is gonna take a significant amount of time. Now what im wandering is, now you have said that, will the patch be released at certain points. I.e when not everything has been fully translated. Maybe just the item and move descriptions or whatever. Obviously this will have to be after the patcher itself is finished and the translations are done.

A deadline would be impossible to predict, considering the level of translating we're doing. We don't really have many people who actually understand these languages enough to get a really well understandable translation of of some of these lines of text, so it'll take a lot longer, especially for the bigger lines of text, like quest data, etc.

100% won't be complete for a while. Sit back and hang tight until it's finished. Until then, a patch with a decent amount of it translated with be available sometime in the near future, though no date is predicted for that.

If we can give a deadline of this translation until may then our fans know that we can release not the 100% but a beta.
So i suggest we can release our english patch (beta) on 5 may.
Is that a good suggestion?

Kind Regarts,

Here's your deadline : Coming Soon

Stop asking. It'll be ready when it's ready. It'll be tested before it's ready to be tested/used by everyone else.

The translations are stored in a simple text file that the Language Patcher reads. Anyone can change that text file, and I can release updated versions of it file whenever I want.

The users who are providing translations are determining what gets translated and how fast. Ideally though, I'd like to release updates once a week. At the current rate of submissions, that would mean 1,000 - 1,500 new translations a week.

Well as long as you don't get trolled and have them tell you DBO english is coming out before you release patch making all that hard work in vein

If an English version is released, you'll be able to pull all of the translations from it and use them on any of the other versions to get a true 100% English Patch.
