Hello.

I thought it would be a good idea if it was made possible to translate Worms Armageddon on the website http://crowdin.net/. It is a translation management service where anyone can go in and propose a translation. As far as I can see it is free for open source, if you contact the creators of the website. Anyone can go in and vote for the best translation. I know that Mojang uses it for their very popular game Minecraft and it seems to work fine. I know that you already can translate Worms Armageddon, but by using this website it would be easier and faster for the community to translate the game, because you don’t have to translate the whole game yourself, everybody can help each other translating it. I was thinking that maybe CyberShadow or Deadcode would look to it. Btw it’s amazing how much you have done for the game!

Unless that site relies on the ability to translate the game into every language, I don't see why that should be a problem. The input translation file is UTF-8, so as long as people only translate WA into languages for which the character set works, I can't see any problems. I haven't looked at the site, though, it does seem to be full of buzzwords ;)

You can pick which languages you want the game to be translated in to. Also you can decide the maximum length for every translation. Here (http://crowdin.net/page/add-file) is a list with some of the things you can do.
