Copyediting

[cooljeanius]

Some general minor copyediting issues I noticed throughout:

• [x] Miscapitalization
• [x] Spaces missing before or after ellipsises
• [x] Wording

[cooljeanius]

I think this is mostly done, but I'll leave it open for another release

[cooljeanius]

Note that there're some instances of trolls talking oddly that I've noticed, but left in anyways because they're trolls

[cooljeanius]

Now that I've managed to generate an initial potfile for this campaign, progress can be judged by how many of the translatable strings in it look correct.

[cooljeanius]

ok I have completed an initial pass at making sure all translatable strings in the potfile look correct; I had to leave a few FIXMEs in places where I couldn't think of how to improve the wording, though... Leaving this open for some combination of the following happening:

• [x] me completing another playthru
• [x] me making a new release
• [x] a translator to a new language being able to understand the text well enough to complete a new translation

(edit: these are all done now, but, see some of the follow-up comments...)

[cooljeanius]

I had to leave a few FIXMEs in places where I couldn't think of how to improve the wording, though...

To be specific:

• [x] S08:

  # po: FIXME: this sentence is worded kind of awkwardly and I'm not quite sure how to parse it myself; any clarifications are welcome:
  story= _ "Hamel and his friends were lucky. The rest on their way to the main hall none wanted to fight them again. They took a break and made themselves familiar with the new surroundings."

• [x] also S08:

  # po: FIXME: phrasing is awkward here; suggestions for improvements are welcome:
  message=_"Anyway, it seems they left me here back or rather have been forced to do so."

• [x] S11t:

  # po: FIXME: awkward wording; suggestions for improvements are welcome:
  story= _ "Overwhelmed by the impression to regain their lost friend, the group returned to the main hall. They told each other everything that had transpired during a real long dwarvish banquet. Both parties were amazed about how far they had progressed in making new alliances."

[cooljeanius]

I think I've done enough on this to merit a new release of this campaign on the 1.14 add-on server before BfW 1.16 releases; any further work on it will have to wait until post-1.16, though...

* [ ]  a translator to a new language being able to understand the text well enough to complete a new translation

So, I've done 2 of these now, but the things in the follow-up comment still need to be done, though... postponing any further work on this until 1.16.

un-postponing

[cooljeanius]

some of the translation work that @k-konami has done for #22 has helped here, too

[cooljeanius]

@TheMythcaller might be helping with this one

[cooljeanius]

Postponed until @TheMythcaller returns

[cooljeanius]

un-postponed, as @Konrad22 has been helping out with this a bit on Discord

OK I've checked off the first two of these now

[cooljeanius]

Depends on #45; will close this once @Konrad22 has completed his playthru and all text-related issues he opens are closed

ok so that's closed, so I'm going to close this now.
