Links

These are links to useful resources that have helped me or that I think will be helpful for translating if you ever want to try doing it yourself. You can also check out the Translation tab for my own personal tutorials about translating.


1. Wcstrings 
https://github.com/juvian/warcraft-3-translating/blob/master/README.md
This is the program that I use for every single map that I translate. I would not have begun translating without this, and it makes the job very easy. Most people think that you need to use the World Editor to translate maps, but there is absolutely no need for it. This program takes all the strings for items, units, abilities, buffs, upgrades, and strings from the script and organizes them all into lua files to be easily readable by humans. It also allows for easily transfering translations from one version to the next without having to redo everything with each update of a map. I highly reccomend this program as it has allowed me to contiunue translating maps to this day.

2. Other Translators' Works
These two websites belong to fellow translators Arakunido and Juvian, who have both been very helpful to my growth as a translator. Both of their websites contain a lot of information for what they have translated. Their translations are good examples of how to do a translation correctly, with very few mistakes, if any at all. A lot of time and effort was put into the translations with even additional bug fixing to make sure the maps work properly on Warcraft III Reforged. These maps will give you a sense of what a good translation looks like.
