Yes. Details below ...

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Sure, you'll need to know the syntax
by heart, know your way around pointers and references, inheritance
and a couple other concepts too, but: in reality, Adonthell isn't
using a lot of the more advanced features of C++. No exceptions,
hardly any templates, just basic stuff from the STL. The real
complexity lies in the amount of code, the external libraries used and
a few constructs that are indeed "advanced" programming.

The thing that would need translation right now is the Waste's Edge
demo game. At
http://translationproject.org/domain/wastesedge.html
you will find the wastesedge-0.3.5.pot file, which contains all the
strings that need to be translated. If you are not familiar with GNU
gettext let me know and I can give you a rundown how the translation
process works. What OS are you using, btw?
I also have to ask on behalf of the translation project if you would
like to join the German=2
0translation team
http://translationproject.org/team/de.html
It's not mandatory, of course, but it would mean that there are people
that could cross-check the translation and it would become available
on the translation project website. They can probably also help with
the translation process/useful tools etc. much better then I could.
But as I said, it's totally up to you. We'll happily take any
translations we can get :-).
Let me know if there are any questions.
Kai
