The translations use GNU GetText so once you have created your translation file, you can place the .po file into the locale directory, do a "make install" and it should compile the .po file and copy it into the LC_MESSAGES directory, but I think you've already managed to do this.

The word "readied" means to "make ready" but you could always used the word "prepared".

Just so you know, the game isn't finished so the translation isn't completely finished either.

Using a Bomb on Mataeus (worth a try) caused a segfault. Must be his supreme magical power.

"The Legend of Edgar has encountered the following error:" (But then closed the window just as I was trying to transcribe the message!) Roughly, "Animation BLOCK not found for (?)/wood_axe", and "Report to Parallel Laboratories". This was the compiled-from source 0.45, but I've seen a similar crash with the binary version, except that the message came out on stderr. (Personally, I'd prefer stderr -- can't C&P a graphical message!)

*&($*$%)#!@! After finally defeating Mataeus, all you get is "well, <i>that's</i> done with, now for the shopping list"? That guy was totally worth a bigheart!

Cool, bug-fix release! Still awaiting the rest of the Fire Shield quest...
