What language did you translate. I am doing Dutch now. :-)



I made czech translation. I started just for fun, than I realized it could
be useful. Now I'm translating just to see it complete, as there are (in my
opinion) five or ten lego fans in whole country. So now I hope that when
Michael will make new version, language dll will be somewhat compatible as
it was sometimes boring. Do you use some automatic translator an then you
only finetune it, or do you translate all manually (as I did..)?

-If you'll translate, read online help first, there are some useful
explanations. (For example - "command type"  means "run in console". Or not?
We should ask Michael)


I suggest you save all your pictures in the BMP format of Paint and then
convert the to Gifs with another program.


Exactly. I grabbed them, pasted in Paintbrush, made clipping so I have pics
(almost) clean. This was all done in Paintbrush. Than I used IrfanView. It's
freeware and really good viewer/convertor. (I especially like "batch
converting feature")

I think main problem is that you're trying to convert 16 millions into 256
colours. I know that Adobe photoshop can calculate palette for you, but..
it's too much effort.

.. maybe, I'll give a second try
