If you own the game in other language which is not fully translated (or you have found a typo) and want to contribute, I'd really appreciate that. To make the whole process the easiest, please follow the next steps.
-
If the language is already partially translated, simply download the corresponding file from above. If not, copy the file
template.xlsxand name it according to respective ISO 639-1 2-letter language code (e.g. for german it would bede.xlsx) and save it in this folder. -
Fill the necessary information in the file. Do not change any predefined cells. The file consists of 3 sheets.
-
Pay attention to the following format. Specify icons in card descriptions using their name inside of square brackets.
E.g. for American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus), the power text in english looks like this: Player(s) with the fewest [wetland] birds: draw 1 [card].
