HOW TO TRANSLATE THE KILLER
===========================

You can translate the whole game into any language with a plain text
file. No coding needed.

1. SAVE AS UTF-8.  This is essential for Arabic, Chinese, Russian,
   accented Latin letters, etc. Notepad: File > Save As > Encoding: UTF-8.

2. GET THE LIST OF LINES.  Just play the game. Every line the game says
   is written for you into  _template.txt  in this folder (each line only
   once). The more you play, the more complete _template.txt becomes. A
   starter list is already filled in for you.

3. MAKE YOUR LANGUAGE FILE.  Copy _template.txt to a new file named after
   your language, for example  arabic.txt  or  spanish.txt , in this same
   languages folder.

4. TRANSLATE.  Each line looks like:
       Original English text[=]your translation
   Type your translation on the RIGHT side of [=]. Example:
       Connection menu[=]قائمة الاتصال
       game settings[=]إعدادات اللعبة

   * Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored.
   * A line with nothing after [=] is left in English, so you can
     translate in stages and test as you go.
   * Keep %0, %1, %2 ... exactly - the game fills those in at runtime
     (numbers, player names, coordinates). You may move them around
     inside your sentence:
       you have %0 coins[=]لديك %0 عملة

5. SELECT IT IN GAME.  Start the game, go to
       Settings -> user interface -> Translation language
   and pick your file. No restart needed - it applies right away.

TIPS
----
* chinese.txt in this folder is a complete real translation you can look
  at as an example of the format.
* While playing, press F12 to copy the exact line currently being spoken
  to the clipboard (Alt+F12 copies the original English) if you want to
  grab one specific string.
* Matching of the original English is exact (case and punctuation
  sensitive), so copy the left side from _template.txt rather than typing
  it by hand.
