I think quotes will be great for the Russian version. I'm waiting for Love123's opinion on that.

I can help with czech translations , too ....
I have them written but would appreciate if sga_girl woul hepl me, because i am not sure it the translation is the best suited one...

So here are Czech translations. I have tried to make it as suitable as possible ...

Title for Shopping Rack
"Přihrádka na blahopřání "

Catalog Description for Shopping Rack
"Chcete žít život pomalejším tempem? Jste nešťastní z elektronické pošty? Dáváte přednost starému dobrému poštovímu systému, jisti si tím, že vaše blahopřání budou časem doručena? Pošlete přátelům hezká papírová blahopřání poštou - tak jak by se to mělo správně dělat."

Title for Card Box
"Blahopřání všech druhů"

Catalog Description for Card Box
"Nejrůznější blahopřání pro poslání vašim přátelům"

Menu/Dialog action strings for Card Box
I have put '&' character where there is an inserted string. The inserted string is the card type and they are listed below also for translation.
"Send Card of type " - "Poslat blahopřání k .." ( exact ranslation here is sent a card for ..which is te best transtion I could think of )
"Send Many & Cards" - "Poslat mnoho blahopřání k .."
"Send & Card to" -here I got stuck -would it be possible to change it for "Send Card & to" which translates as : " Poslat blahopřání k & simíkovi " Since it is imposible for all the types of cards to have the same fitting in my language ...
"There are no tables or desks for me to write at." -"Nejsou zde žádné stoly pro napsání blahopřání "

"Address Book" (title on dialog) -"Adresář"
"I don't know anyone to send cards to. I need to go and meet some people first, before I can send cards to them!" -" Neznám nikoho komu blahopřání poslat. Nejdřív se s někým musím seznámit než mu pošlu blahopřání "

"Valentines" - " Den sv. Valentýna"

Emptied for deletion

There was not already one so thank you so much for providing me with the translations - they will be used in the object very soon. I am happy to receive them whenever they are ready - no rush - so thank you for producing them.

That's OK - thank you for the translations for these - I expect if there are not many people knowing about them, then players using the game in Korean may decide not to download cards of these types - but if they do, thanks to your translations, at least the words will not be English and look out of place.

An alternative might be the word "Death" or "Loss of person" perhaps? In Korea do cards get sent to say "sorry to hear that someone you loved has died"? Is there a name for those types of cards? I see you have translated it to something - if you think of a better translation from my words here - feel free to change it.

I expect this is a general problem with Sims because from my investigations into the internals - I would say that there are not different strings for different relationships between Sims - they all say the same thing to each other. So, if the translations you have produced are the best one to be accepted - that is probably what the Maxis translators did too. If you - as a Korean speaker - are happy with that - I am too.

Many thanks,
Mog

And how the description of cards? We won't translate them? And how the text which appears when sim receives it? They will be in English?

That is up to the makers of the cards. The way the mod has been made - everything except the poem/verse in the greetings cards that other people make is translated because it is part of the Postal System. If card makers wish to translate their verses they can request help as I have done. The card description (seen when choosing the the specific card to write) and the text which appears when the Sim receives and views the cards, are the same text - only written in the card package once, so only one translation would be needed for the card maker - have tried to make it as painless for them as possible (Selfish really - I wanted lots of cards to make up for my lack of artistic talent for making them myself!!!)

Welcome everybody!
I made a Hungarian translation, so, here is it.
(Some of the English sentences/words have no meaning in Hungary, so I modified a little. Just a little.)

Italians love words... Hungarians love long words!

Is this translation thing still going on?
If it is, I'm more than happy to translate both the Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
But.. seriously. There's a Chinese version of The Sims 2 + Packs?

Note: I have poor english.

It is still going on yes. I would welcome those translation. We believe there are Chinese versions because the in-games files we edit show translated strings in these languages.

Wow thanks for translating Hannukah. I don't even know what that was =p.

But to me... It seems a little bit weird here..

May I just point out.. Don't use that Norwegian translation (I don't know if you have included it or not since it's not in the list).

There are so many errors there. Like direct translations of words that has no relevance to the subjects and the sentence structures are way off.

Thank you for the heads up - I have not yet included then - manically busy - so just haven't made the time to gather up the new translations yet (I edit the first post when I use them). Are you able to provide an alternative correct Norwegian translation? It would be very much appreciated.

Sure I could do. Would maybe take some time though as I'm swamped with schoolwork at the moment. Is that okay?

I assume you don't need direct translations of the descriptions? Like the one about using snail mail instead of electronic etc, I assume it's okay to somewhat edit it to fit in nicely?

Take all the time you need. I will happily accept it whenever it appears. These are hobbies for us all, no deadlines applied

Exactly - so long as there is something similar to say, that is perfectly fine. Imagine how you would have the game describe things to your in Norwegian, and make mine fit that, rather than trying to directly translate something that is perhaps slang in English and nonsense to other languages.
