Language Translation

[nuad]

Hi,
On the Northbay County route, its initial comments are in English, however, the follow on comments that are associated with the triggers are in German. With a Surname of Stahl, I ought to be able to puzzle out the Deutch but not always. :'( Is there any easy method to find the German comments which I can then run through Goggle Translate or Babblefish and replace it with English? I tried surveyor but that didnt seem to work.

Thanks in advance.

Session instructions are usually in graphic format (.tga or .jpg) so to translate into another language requires you to retype them into ascii text format or to convert them using a suitable program so the text can then be translated using Google Translate.
You could hand copy the instructions while running the session and then type them into Google Translate or use an Optical Character Reader to copy/convert them from the kuid file then past to Google Translate. To do this you have to find the kuid files that have the instructions. They're not reference as dependencies so you have to find them using a method such as this:
1. Start Trainz and click Route then select Session and then click Edit Session.
2. Click the Main Menu button, select Edit Session then scroll down and click Display HTML.
3. Select Edit to open a window and note the name of the HTML Asset file.
4. Now exit Trainz and in CM set the Search Panel to Category - HTML Asset and find that HTML file.
5. Right Click it and select Edit - Edit in Explorer.
6. The session instructions will usually be contained in graphic files the folder named Image.
7. If the files are .tga format, convert them to .jpg format.
8. Download http://www.newocr.com/ and run it. Point to the location of the .jpg file and set the language of the text file.
9. Copy/paste the converted text from newocr to Google Translate.
10. Print your results.

I just did all of this and it did absolutly nothing. newocr.com doesn't let you download anything and you didn't specify what file to convert other than "the .jpg file". In my folder there are a lot of jpg files and some of them I converted to .jpg from .tga. Where would I put the "translated" info so my sessions are in english?
