Recently, i've been playing GZM a lot. So i played Ostfront/Mission Barbarossa, custom chapter and since it is in Russian, I came to an idea of replacing .txt files with the ones in original. What i mean is essentially an English translation. Now i'm wondering if it's a translation, would it be legal to post it here for those who don't speak Russian?

Hi Tedi88, That's a good question. Maybe try to contact the creator of the chapter? If some how it is legal...That would be a wonderful idea, Good find!

Well, creators of the chapter are Adrian and his team. However their forums are open except last post dates from 2009. So i don't know if they are still around. However, another thing i don't know is if the creators of GZM simply translated the missions or did they changed them. Last time i played there were very little or no differences in them. One thing is certain i succeed in replacing the translated texts with original ones, and everything runs fine. It would be a shame for it to go to waste. If you find any more info about Adrian and the others, send it to me i'll be certain to ask them. In the meantime i'll be searching. ;D

If there isn't an explicit prohibition I think taht you can tranlsate freely what you want. The GZM team, for instance, didn't say anythyng about my translation and they pay attention to their mod... There could be problems about commercial items whose translations could be a spin-off business.

I think it's a yay. ;D I can't find Adrian anywhere, and although i'm skeptical about GZM team permission to convert Ostfront, i'm glad they did it.
So i'll post the links sometime tomorrow.

Okay here you are. skydrive.live.com/#cid=63EEE5ACBBFE566C&id=63EEE5ACBBFE566C%21126Just swap places with Ost.pak if you have it already in your instalation directory, it should work fine. I had problems with Russian versions, some missions displayed defeat at the beginning. So if anything like that comes up it's nor my fault. Also Rzhavets is the single mission from MK that was converted, it's translated and works like a charm. ;D One more thing, if you played MB/MK you might find the missions a little easy. The good side is: last two missions can be really hard, harder than the original. Enjoy!
