Translation Instructions

When a new language is added to New World Scheduler, Google Translate is used to provide an initial translation. If Google Translate is not available, the text will remain in English.

In either case, the translation needs manual checking and improving.

English <tags> are in blue, while the text to be translated is in the middle of the tags and in black.

  • Example: <Brother>Hermano</Brother>

New terms that were added since the previous Major Release are highlighted in yellow. These will remain highlighted in yellow until the next Major Release.

  • Note: Yellow highlighting does not mean a term has not yet been translated. It simply means the term is new
  • Example: <Campaigns>Campañas</Campaigns>

Translation Principles

A translator is someone who converts material from one language to another while maintaining the original meaning, format, and tone.

A translator works hard to make the meaning as clear as possible, while being careful not to change or alter the original meaning.
