Bioware provides localized installation files for spain, french, german and
italian. It would be great to update the ebuild to take a specific environment
variable in account, that would download one of them instead of the default
english. Localised files for extensions could also be downloaded, and
instructions to install extensions included in the ebuild. Basically, a user
should be able to get nwn+sou+hou working in the language of his choice.

1.65 now supports this

Er... how? I've looked around in the ebuild, but I din't find anything...

OK, seems like portage now does it automatically. Are there any ebuilds for
hotu or sou?

I`ve used 1.65-r1 ebuild to get a German NWN installation. I gave the flags
USE="nocd nowin". The spoken dialogues are still English, while the GUI and the
written dialogues are German. Shouldn`t it be 100% German (spoken + written)?

For the future, I

USE="nocd nowin". The spoken dialogues are still English, while the GUI and the
written dialogues are German. Shouldn`t it be 100% German (spoken + written)?

For the future, I´d be happy to see AddOns ebuild, too and it would be great
to include the nwn video for Linuc hack into the ebuild, maybe with a new flag
like video.

And the nowin / nocd flags might be checked earlier, as the emerge stops in the
current ebuild when the CD_ROOT is not correct - but the CD wasn`t necessary in
my case. That`s confusing.

Thanks for the great work so far.

i dont actually own nwn so i have no idea what should and shouldnt be localized

most of the nwn stuff is based upon user feedback telling us what is and isnt correct

OK, I will test the different install methodes and compare them to find out
which files need update for the German dialogues. I have some data here on my
extermal hd from an older nwn german install on SUSE via installer. I hope I
can give you some useful information when I finished this job, maybe I can
contact the author of the installer, too. But this would take 2 weeks time or
so, because I have a lot to do for at the moment... but holidays are not far
away. 

Don`t want to reopen the bug since I

Don`t want to reopen the bug since I´m not very familar with the bugzilla -
maybe someone else could decide whetherthis is useful or not.

(@ SpanKY: I could sent you my German CDs of NWN and NWN SoU for testing
perpose, but don`t know whether this is useful or not - depending on the
country you are living in [shipping].)
