… giving you a LOL every day.

Nice :slight_smile:
Although it’s just font setting, I really doubt that the interface has been also translated into Quenya. It would be possible, but highly unlikely :wink:

At www.bored.com there is a link to a program called ‘the dialectizer’ (or something like that. It’s a parser program that will translate input text, including whole web pages, into your choice of; jive, redneck, swedish chef, porky pig, etc. Could be the same kind of deal.

Actually, I fed a few of the strings through oTT

The menu bar & some of the space toolkit.

Ah, so it was your doing. I didn’t realize that right off the bat. Very interesting.

LOL I’d get that version of blender just to see! Heh I dont speak elvish though… dont know anyone who does…

Send a patch

OK Theeth, here’s the translation files:

The compiled one is blender.mo. I couldn’t get Blender to recognise Elvish as a new language, so to overwrite a little used language (like German) copy it to .blender/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/blender.mo

As you can see, I got bored quickly and it’s only half finished.

You are also going to need some Tengwar fonts -

Martin

neeeeaaaat!!! but it’d be a lot neater if the screenshot worked :stuck_out_tongue:

I think the website is out of bandwith, All another topic with pictures of your works, don’t be displayed. :frowning:

Yea, I actually uploaded it as .tar.bz instead of .tar.gz, and I’m having trouble connecting to the server to fix it. :frowning:

Well, you could have edited your post to point to the .bz file too.

Martin
PS: I just fixed it :slight_smile:

It is a .tar.gz and not a .tar.bz.

Fixed the server!
