Back near the end of last year when I finished up DD I had wanted to do this project but held off because John had told me he was nearing completion of it himself and would be including it with his SOM patch he was working on.
Well unfortunately I have not heard from John for quite some time, so I decided to translate it myself.
Thankfully John's translation of the PS1 game was pretty much everything I needed to get the SOM version into english, so with some help from HolyDiver's gettext program, I decided to go ahead and get it done.
The current release is totally stand alone and supports only english as the translation was done internally to the files within the game...however I am working with HolyDiver to create a text dump of the game so that it can be packed together with SOMex and then easily translated into any other language quickly and simply drop the translation text dump into the games files.
KF1 is a relatively simple game, and ideal to use as a starting point for internationalizing SOM made games. If we can find a non-english fanbase for the games we are creating, the gettext program and site that Holy is going to manage should make it a relatively easy thing to do in the future.
Hopefully the voice overs for the opening/ending movie aren't too lame :P
