THANKS THIS IS GREAT

2009-01-24: Updated to v1.11. Added Building Party Phone Call, ComputerGlobals and OFB Craftables.
This time, "Read Sections.../(hobby)" menu was really fixed in German and Brazilian Portuguese.
Chili Con Carne and Grandma's Comfort Soup use "Grab a Bowl" instead of "Grab a Plate".

In French, "Make" is translate into "Faire". "Faire" is too general and not enough specific. "Crιer" is more appropriate.
But it will be better if we have (in French) a specific verb for every craftable, but it will not match others languages and it would be redundant.
As per your suggestion, I changed both "Gestion.../Fabriquer plusieurs.../" and "Gestion.../Composer plusieurs.../" to "Gestion.../Crιer plusieurs.../". This only applies to Management menu on employees. Strings for crafting stations themselves were not altered, they still use "Fabriquer" and "Composer".


2009-03-27: Updated to v1.12. Added Phone Call - Magazines - Subscribe, computers, Drama TV channel and OrchardTreeGlobals.

"Drink (potion)" in Sim pie menu will be merged under "Drink.../(potion)", just like CS potions.

I'd love a fix for the phone menu. I have the Happy Holiday Stuff and I get two "Throw Party" menus. One of them Throw Party -> New Year's Bash (or something like that) and the other Throw Party with all the regular (House party, Sports party, Wedding party etc.). So maybe you could make them all appear in one "Throw Party".

Duplicate "Throw Party" glitch in UK English and many other languages was fixed in my SP Objects Fix Collection for AL. It's not included in Pie Menu fix, because it doesn't work in Downloads folder.

If you don't have AL or M&G, use this separate fix.

Hello
I am using a Traditonal Chinese version and want to raise requests.
Should I request in Chinese?

Such as,
Bookcases:
 X) 學習…
 O) 學習...

Is that OK?

Yes. People contribute corrections for their own language, and I include them in the next version. I already fixed several glaring errors in Traditional Chinese, like cluttered fridge menu.

Bookcases:
 X) 學習…
 O) 學習...
It's one of those "ellipsis character vs. three dots" thing, isn't it? Will be fixed in the next version.

Right.
Below are some more requests.

Violins:
1. X)玩
   O)演奏

2. X)玩把戲
   O)演奏賺小費

Phones: (And sim-self if having cellphone in the inventory)
 X)辦派對...
 O)舉辦派對...

Stoves, Ovens, Fridges:
 X)製許多的...
 O)製作許多的...

Other Sims:
1. X)玩...
   O)玩耍...

2. X)親吻…
   O)親吻...

3. Dance:
    There are some complication about dance. The "Dance...>Together | Slow Dance | Classic" is somehow splitted.
    Could this be fixed? Also, mistranslations exist.

   X)一起跳舞
   X)慢舞
   X)跳舞...>慢舞

   O)跳舞...>一起跳(I think this translation would look better in submenu)
                >慢舞
                >標準舞(Not really sure what "Classic Dance" means; this is "Ballroom Dance" or "Dancesport". Hope my guess is right.)

There are other translation mistakes. I'll keep reporting.
Thank you so much for all your fixes and mods.

1. X)玩...
   O)玩耍...
Please give me the exact Play interaction names which are wrongly categorized under "玩...", with their English names or descriptions. There are so many Play interactions from various EPs that I may miss some of them.

2. X)親吻…
   O)親吻...
Again, please give me the exact Kiss interaction names. From the look of it, I guess it's from AL.

3. Dance:
    There are some complication about dance. The "Dance...>Together | Slow Dance | Classic" is somehow splitted.
    Could this be fixed?
Yes. This issue was raised earlier in this thread, which I already fixed for several languages.

Sorry for being vague. The interactions are listed below.

   The interactions categorized in it are: Toss Football | Rock-paper-scissors

2. X)親吻…(Kiss...)
   O)親吻...
   The interaction: Dance

New Year's Party glitch was already fixed in my SP Objects Fix Collection for AL. Read this post for more information.

I attached a separate fix for people who don't have AL or M&G, because jordi's fix only works for English.
It should go to Overrides folder of your latest EP.

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 <your latest EP>\TSData\Res\Overrides
  (or the corresponding folder on your system if your game is not installed in C:\Program Files)


I already fixed cluttered "Buy Potion..." menu on Gypsy and Grand Witch in Traditional Chinese. Have you tested it in your game? Is anything wrong? Like incorrect potion names?
I'll post the new version as soon as I get confirmation from you.


ETA: Further investigation revealed more mistakes in PersonGlobals.

Play.../Toss $Object in Air  (for toddlers)

Play.../Steal A Bite & Play.../Throw Food  (NL dining interactions)

Play.../Show Off.../Cartwheel  (I believe they are from OFB)
Play.../Show Off.../Somersault
Play.../Show Off.../Headstand

Play.../Peek-A-Boo  (from AL)
Play.../Swing Around & Play.../Swing Me Around

All of above interactions will show up under "玩耍...", including Pets interactions like Finger Wiggle or Fetch.

I have AL and M&G installed, as well as your great objects fix collection... v1.02.
I downloaded it from MTS2 site and it works now. Sorry for not knowing about such an awesome place before.  Wink

I already fixed cluttered "Buy Potion..." menu on Gypsy and Grand Witch in Traditional Chinese. Have you tested it in your game? Is anything wrong? Like incorrect potion names?
I'll post the new version as soon as I get confirmation from you.
The translations are all correct except a whitespace before dash in:
吸血盤尼西林- D  ->  吸血盤尼西林 - D
The latter, which currently have only a subchoice "buy 1", is correspondent with the translation in the spellbook so I think it correct.

ETA: Further investigation revealed more mistakes in PersonGlobals.

I haven't even used some of those interactions so far. Thank you so much for these mods.

Oh damn. Looks like they used a DB backup from several months ago after their server crashed.  Tongue Thanks for the heads up.

Noted. "Influence To.../Drink Vamprocillin-D" will also be fixed accordingly.


Found yet moar inconsistency with potions.

影響.../喝吸血盤尼西林 - D($local:0)
影響.../飲用化狼人B群($local:0)
影響.../飲用種植多旋C($local:0)
影響.../飲用去女巫-E($local:0)
影響.../喝神奇狗尾原液($local:0)
影響.../喝神奇辣味糖($local:0)

Which verb should I use for "Drink", 喝 or 飲用? Also, wrong potion names again. Roll Eyes

I'm not very sure since they are somewhat exchangeable.
Personally I prefer 飲用, because 喝 is more often used in daily life and for regular drinks;
飲用, as a more formal form, would be more suitable for these not-so-regular potions.

Also, I found the direct interactions to those potions have the same inconsistency problem.

I'm playing the english version of the game, but I could install on my laptop and play-test the russian if needed. I still remember the funny times with the first sims when my friend had russian version installed and the "fill bowl" (in unleashed) was translated into russian like "fill aquarium".

I forgot that there IS actually an official EAxian string for "Drink.../(potion name)" in Castaway Stories, which can be found in Awesome CS conversions. EAxis used 喝 for this string. ("喝藥水.../") I already used this string in my fix, so that "Drink (potion)" in Sim pie menu will be merged under "Drink.../(potion)"

If both verbs are exchangeable, I think that it's better to stick with 喝, keeping consistent with official EAxian strings.

I noticed a couple of glaring mistakes in PersonGlobals, i.e. "Propose.../Be Roommate" is translated into "Сделать предложение.../Переехать в квартиру", while other Propose functions use "Предложить.../", resulting in an orphaned submenu. Is "Предложить.../Переехать в квартиру" grammatically correct?

"Сделать предложение" is only used when proposing engagement, but I think it would look good with marriage as well. "Предложить" is a more common word, like "offer". I would also suggest to replace "Переехать в квартиру" (which means "move into the apartment") with "Снимать квартиру вместе" ("Rent an apartment together), because there is no actual word for a roommate in russian. There's nothing grammatically wrong with "Предложить.../Переехать в квартиру", but my suggestion would be more accurate knowing what exactly it means in the game.
