Default The Romanian Section

Well I usually stick with the english version of the site. But there is a reason to that. 1-2 years ago when I first saw abandonia, I tried to stay on the romanian version, but there were like 2-3 games there, and none really interested me. I thought that now the situation has changed somehow towards the better and I'm really surprised that it's the same. So here are the questions:

1. How can I contribute at expanding the romanian version?
2. Do I need to write my own reviews or can I just translate the english ones?
3. Is it possible to display correctly the romanian-only characters "ă,î,ş,ţ,â"? When I read the romanian reviews I see only question marks...

i believe some mod will see this and add you to romanian translating team

you don't have to write your own reviews, it just gets translated
but you can of course contribute and write a review for a new game and translate it into your language as well

btw the characters are the bug that happened to all foreign languages with server move =( they can be displayed, but each game needs a personal care

By becoming a translator.
However, for the time being the translations are halted due to a bug (attempting to add a translation overwrote the original review instead).

We generally prefer to keep to just translating the English version of the site.

I believe this is a result of some glitch during the site upgrade. The reviews would need to be edited and the broken characters replaced with correct ones.

You can start translating reviews already, but will only be able to add them to the site when that problem is resolved.

Right now there is a number of uncertainities regarding the site's current ownership status and some related details. That will be resolved in next two weeks, and then we'll know whom to talk with about fixing this problem.

Ok, got it. For starters, I think I'll translate the reviews to my favourite games. Hope you resolve the owner issue. I don't want to write them and have nowhere to post them.

Thank You. I'll start reading the romanian crew's thread and see their progress through the years.
