I was wondering if you could make some languages packs (only subtitles)
English isn't my native langauge and I think I didn't understand all the story. I think I am not the only one in this case
I doubt the TNM team would do so, but any person with the DX-Editing kit (and a LOT of spare time) could probably do it, since it only involves translating the stuff in the dialogue files.
And of course said person should know his/her english and the translated in language well. Personally; I speak none of the 4, so I cannot be of any help... sorry .
Can somebody tell me how I can get a custom avatar?
Oh wait, I already got one...
Google Translate maybe? I would just copy/paste all of the text in the mod and then paste the translated text back into the appropriate game files.
But Google Translate has been known to **** up, so it may not be perfect, especially if the word in the mod does not have a translation into the other language.

German/French/Spanish/Italian would be very great
Hey Petra, yeah that would be very great, but just so you understand why I'm going to say no, you should realise that there are over 195,000 words of dialogue in The Nameless Mod, which is 780 pages of text assuming 250 words per page. That's like having to translate a fairly sizeable novel, and you're asking us to translate it into 4 different languages. None of us has that much time on our hands, and that's saying a lot considering how much work went into the mod in the first place
That said, if any of our fans would like to translate the mod into another language, we'll be happy to host the project on our webspace!

I know! Same here. Five years, and then two in postsecondary. I still haven't mastered the past tense, and I can only say that things are just about to happen in the future tense. Not to mention that I didn't learn the actual language, and people are always saying "We don't actually say it that way". To quote Maya Angelou, "Donde esta mi padre?, I asked. My formal Spanish must have sounded as pretentious to the ears of the paisano as "Whither goeth my sire?"...it brought on a howl of laughter".
Google Translations is usually enough to get a message across, but it probably wouldn't do well with TNM's conversations. IIRC "This sucks" turns into "It vacuums this", etc. The most fun is taking your national anthem's lyrics, and translating it back and forth in different languages.
