It`s impossible to translate FF or even show the fonts correctly

The game is awesome, but i (and all the above except English-speaking people) can`t play FF, because FF doesnt show the font correctly (i edited font and added to it russian symbols).
Please, make the game able to show translated fonts correctly and i may translate FF to the russian language. Thanks.

It`s not a problem to play FF in English, but... Russian is more fine to me, because it`s my language...

(If I understood correctly)

I'm using the default font. If you want to change the HUD and game text to say stuff in Russian, you probably can't do that, as the HUD text and such is programmed in English in the game's source code. You could always ask to join the dev team for translations, if they ever release an option to play in a different language. :s

So, why the dev team can`t rewrite some part of code to support the other languages?

It's not impossible because HL2 does it.

There's a file called resource/fortressforever_english.txt that contains all the HUD text. Copy it, and name it fortressforever_russian.txt. Then translate everything inside. You will still need a font with Cyrillic characters.

Certainly, but

It doesn`t work. I rewrote the font and added Cyrillic characters, but FF doesn`t use them...
P.S. The same problem was in TF2 till July `08, but Valve fixed it and the game now can use any custom font.
P.P.S. Maybe you should port FF to the Source 2007 engine?
If you will fix this problem with font, I will translate FF to the russian lang and you may include this translation to the FF distrib. Russian players are scared by this problem and they don`t want to play the game `cause of it... Adding the Russian language will increase the number of players

FF is being ported to OB, but it takes a lot of time. A lot of the work that has been done by our coders is broke in OB so we have a lot of bugs to fix.

We'd love more languages. If you'd care to translate FortressForever_english.txt into Russian we'd be glad to make use of it in the future.
