Help translating CopperCube

Do you know a bit about game development? And do you speak Spanish, Italian, French, or another popular language? If so, you can help translating CopperCube: Since version 5.2, it is able to be translated, and comes with a German and English translation. Time to extend this to more languages!
If you translate CopperCube - which is a lot of work, it contains 950(!) strings - you'll also get a free Professional license of CopperCube as thank you from me - worth 380 euro!

Here is how it works:

* Download CopperCube 5.2 and locate the language file named 'coppercube_language_en.xml' in the sub directory 'language' of CopperCube (or inside the .app bundle on Mac OS X).

* Create a copy of that one, and instead of _en, rename it to end with the two letters for the language from ISO 639-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lis...), like _fr for French or _pt for Portuguese. (For this you need to be a system admin if your are running Windows 7 or newer).

* Change the content of the second line (the one with lang="en" name="English") to your language. Edit the file with an editor able to use UTF, like NotePad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/)

* To check your translation, you can start CopperCube and select your translation under Tools -> Options -> Language. You'll need to restart it afterwards. Also, if you are unsure how to translate anything look into the existing German translation. It helps, although you might not speak german at all.


You can send me the translated file or any questions to niko (ät) ambiera. Note that I'll verify the translations, so I cannot accept poor quality texts, I'm sorry. Also, if I get more than one translation for the same language, the quickest translator wins. So be sure to post here that you have started translating

UPDATE: Translations done already are now: Frensh, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Brazilian (Portuguese), German and English.

I saw that bluepug already started the brazilian portuguese translation, but i already was working in this traslation some weeks by myself, so when i finish i can send my version too. Is about more than half done and still need a overall revision of grammar and spell.

Thanks! Updated also for Brazilian / Portuguese. Question: Is there a big difference between Brazilian and Portuguese? Or do you think this could not only be used for _BR, but also for _PT?
