Hi all-wonder if anyone can help with some translations for me. I'm putting in support for several languages and so far have German, Swedish and Russian but not been able to find any who could do a French translation.
Here's the text to translate if you can help. It's a comma separated list with the following columns:
Number, English version, German version, French version (copy of English at moment), Swedish version, Russian version.

This is a piccy of the titles (in Russian). It's a little more lively than can be seen in that snapshot.
Hope to get the game out for Windows, Mac, Linux, PocketPC, GP2X (F100 and F200) and Smartphones near the end of March. I'm entering it into an GP2X competition.
If you can help translate the words above to French it would be greatly appreciated.
Alright, you're going to need to organize that list a bit for us to make it easier. Perhaps you could not make it painfully uppercase'd, and use the beautiful thing called a space?
It's the direct import file I am using, and all the text in the game is uppercase which is why it is as it is. Here's a version with just the English which should be easier on the eye.
Why no Spanish? ... do one and it shall be in. I've put the language in where people have been kind enough to translate it.
I've added some comments to some where their meaning may not be obvious. Any help appreciated.

No French speakers here? I've used google to translate but I dread to think how bad the translation is! Shame as all other language versions of the game will be spot on. If you can help (and correct the poor translation below) then please post a reply...

Many thanks both of you There will be a Norwegian version now. I shall add your names to the credits.
I've made a slight change to some of the words. Could you both take a look at these?
// this one replaces GERMS - it now means an 'active' object that will move or react. Includes the player, the germs and stationary objects - 7 characters max please.
27,ACTIVES
// the following words can be longer than 7 but if can keep it brief it will help!
// Exit the level editor

Alonso - Spanish would be cool. If you can convert it, I can put the text in. I'm currently working on the core part of the game now but will certainly get the text in for the final game if I'm not able to do so for the competition deadline. Just post it here if you can help
Yes, just post here (use UPPERCASE please) and I shall certainly get the translation in by completion.

Thank you so much Alonso! Did you include the slight alteration to the list? (reading number 38 I think it might be the older list). There's not many changes...

There... Note section 27. There is no counterword in Finnish language that fits in 7 characters. The other word for ACTIVES is AKTIIVISET, which is better than TOIMIVAT, but takes more space. Other notable sections are 19 and 21. Section 19: Do you mean certain apples or just some amount of apples that are need to be eaten in order to get an extra life? If you mean some amount of apples, sentence SYÖ OMENOITA SAADAKSESI LISÄELÄMÄN is more suitable to that section. Section 21: You probably mean FRUITS in plural that are needed to eat in sequence. If so, sentence SYÖ HEDELMÄT JÄRJESTYKSESSÄ SAADAKSESI KORKEAMMAT PISTEET is again more suitable.
Well I got a version entered in time for the competition deadline. If you're interesting in helping testing of the game (still things to add and refine), drop by our forums at www.ovine.net and say hello ... or if you want to see some screenshots.
