Would you have any interest in helping me with finishing a French TPR manual? I've got most of the texts from the French TSK manual copied over, but the stuff new to the TPR manual would need to be translated (and two pages that were mysteriously missing from the French manual).
Here's what I've managed to put together thus far.
Firstly, here's some text that needs to be changed slightly:
[code]-----
STUFF TO CHANGE/FIX
-----
Cliquez ? pr?sent sur l'ic?ne Livre (deuxi?me ligne) et promenez le curseur sur le terrain.
--> It should say "the first in the upper row" inside the parenthesis
La colonne de droite montre le nombre de sujets form?s dans la sp?cialit? requise pour faire fonctionner les b?timents de la colonne de gauche.
--> It should say: "The lower part displays the number of citizens whose training has been completed" and the part about the building connection should be removed.
Les planches extraites des troncs d'arbres sont ?galement destin?es ? la fabrication d'armes et boucliers.
--> It should say to produce weapons, armor and siege equipment
Les Caisses d'Or ainsi produites sont transport?es ? l'Ecole o? elles permettent de financer l'apprentissage de nouveaux personnages et l'entrainement de nouvelles Recrues.
--> Add "and to the town hall where they can be used for hiring mercenaries." to the sentence above or make it a sentence of its own.[/quote]
And here's a quite long list of stuff that needs to be translated:

STUFF TO TRANSLATE
-----

After starting the game and watching the introduction videos, the main menu screen appears.
Here you can choose in which way you want to play the game, whether it is against the computer (campaign) or against a friend (multiplayer).
Starts the training mode. Before you move into real battles, you should play the tutorial to learn how to defeat your opponents.
Starts the campaign "The Shattered Kingdom".
Starts the campaign "The Peasants Rebellion".

A list of the people who worked together to develop this game.
Exits the game.
Here you can adjust the screen resolution (possible settings: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960 and 1280x1024).
-----
Healthy and varying food was of importance already during the Middle Ages. To supply your loyal subjects with fresh fish, you will have to build a fisherman's hut. From here the fisherman will travel to nearby lakes throwing his lines in order to catch fish. Caught fish are taken directly to the inn.
Try building the fisherman's hut near a lake with plenty of fish, so that your fisherman will only need to walk a short distance to get to the lake. Once there are no more fish in the surrounding lakes, I will send you a notifying message.
-----
You should try to lay out the wine field beneath the building so that your farmer only has to walk a short distance to the field.
-----
Gold is also used as payment for the recruitment of new soldiers and mercenaries.
-----
So that your town is adequately protected from enemy attacks, you should build a town hall. The advantage in hiring mercenaries from the town hall is that they only cost a certain amount of gold and are available to you immediately.
The following mercenaries can be hired from the town hall:
-----
The iron smithy is also vital for supplying your siege workshop with iron used in the construction of siege weapons.
-----
Heavy siege weapons are built in the siege workshop. To build siege weapons, timber and iron is needed. Each siege weapon requires five pieces of both wares to construct. Similarly to the other workshops, the carpenter working at the siege workshop also only constructs siege weapons by your order.
If possible, build the siege workshop near an iron smithy and a sawmill to ensure a quick delivery of wares. Even this building should be carefully protected against enemy attacks.
-----
The fisherman casts his lines into nearby lakes and supplies your subjects with fresh fish.

HIREABLE FROM THE TOWN HALL
CONSTRUCTIBLE IN THE SIEGE WORKSHOP

Rebels are good protection against enemy cavalry. With no more than a pitchfork they can unsaddle a rider very quickly. A rebel costs one chest of gold.
Hiring a militia costs two cases of gold.
The rogue with his sling is well suited for fighting at a distance. Because they have no armor, other troops should be used to protect them. The rogue costs two cases of gold.
The vagabonds are a very fast unit and are perfect for reconnaissance and surprise attacks. He is armed with a hand axe and costs three cases of gold to hire.
The warriors and the barbarians are the strongest units in the game. With their big battle axes, they fight heroically against enemy infantry. But beware when opposing bowmen or crossbowmen are being deployed, for the barbarian is basically unprotected and the warrior's armor is worn out from past battles! Hiring a warrior or a barbarian costs five chests of gold.
The catapult and the ballista both have a very long range and are therefore well suited for fighting at a distance. The catapult can throw very large stones over a great distance or over enemy walls.
The ballista can be deployed to the battlefield, or it can also used as a fortification or as a siege weapon.
-----
Ranged soldiers are unable to fire at enemies in close proximity.

BEWARE OF OBSESSION
(EPILEPSY WARNING 1200 A.D.)
Woe to the brave knights of the kingdom. Sitteth not too long before the moving illusions of Laterna Magica. Terrible dwellers of the darkest corners of hell wait to seize thee with the falling sickness and will plague thee with red hot pokers.
Moderation is every warrior's duty. That you never miss the hours of prayer and the vespers, so that body and soul are ready for the rigors of war and government.
For King and country
Be ready with heart and hands[/quote]
