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.
