Is spacegodzilla (or anyone else) working on a translation for 1.20 yet? I'm working on some tools that might make it easier. The idea is to pull out all of the translateable text from the .ks files and put it into a normal text file. Then you can put your translations for each line in that file (tab separated), and the replacer script will use that text file as a dictionary to lookup and replace lines of text in the .ks files.
I pull the text out in "chunks", which are basically anything between tags and # lines, where some tags and macros like [p] or [name] are ignored and treated like text. This means that one "line" of the text file may have several consecutive lines from the .ks file, so you should be free to make whatever changes you need to.
I've already generated a dictionary file for spacegodzilla's translation and merged it with the 1.20 beta. It seems to work okay, but the tools are pretty rough now, so I won't be releasing anything just yet. Just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone was already working on the translation.
