  1. Seems like this is RTS games release week - 0 A.D, a new development version of Battle for Wesnoth, and now Widelands as well. We have just released Build 19 :)

    Widelands is a free, open source real-time buildup strategy game with single player campaigns and a multiplayer mode. The game was inspired by Settlers II™ (© Bluebyte) but has significantly more variety and depth to it.

    You are the regent of a small clan. Your task is to build an ever growing settlement. Every member of your clan will do his or her part to produce more resources to further this growth.

    Widelands offers a single-player mode with campaigns that tell stories of the tribes and their struggle in the Widelands universe. However, settling really starts when you unite with friends over the Internet or LAN to build up new empires together – or to crush each other in the dusts of war. Widelands also offers an artificial intelligence to challenge you.

  2. Welcome to the forum and thank you for your offer :)

    People with 1 post are never made moderators on forums. The way this usually works is that when the team feels a need to recruit new moderators because they need help with the workload, they will send a private message to some forum members who they know well and that they feel might be up to the task.

    So, start contributing valuable posts, and you might eventually get there.

  3. As Loki said. Capitalize them in English, but not in Romanian. You are free to do in your translation as best fits your language's conventions :)

    Regarding 4., you don't need to do that. As soon as you add/change and save a translation, your version will come up in Suggestions as well. It just might take the Transifex server a bit to catch up and display them, but they will be there if you wait a bit.

    Regarding 5., you can add new items to the glossary to help with consistency.

    You could also contact the Romanian translators individually - maybe it will motivate some of them to return to the project.

  4. 1. I regularly search for FLOSS games - I probably saw a review for 0 AD somewhere, or it was in a Wikipedia list.

    2. My motivation is to translate. So, I don't play much except for playtesting.

    3. All my questions and bugs have been addressed in a timely fashion, so no complaints.

    4. I am a software localizer for a language that has around 50 - 60k speakers. So, going Open Source and volunteer translations are our only chance to get a number of games out there. When I first came across 0 AD, it wasn't translatable yet, but there were plans to make it translatable in the future. Since the graphics are excellent and I liked the gameplay and the project is active, I kept an eye on it.
