Falcon BMS Traducido al Español...Falcon BMS Translated into Spanish

Apolo27… I think everyone is thankful for and appreciates your work. It is quite the undertaking to do what you have done.
I could be wrong about this but… Without having any knowledge of any conversations you may have had with whomever, I think the language thing is just about the forum. If all communication on the forum are in English then the moderator doesn’t have to translate everything himself to make sure people are following the rules of the forum. (I don’t think MaxWaldorf’s native language is English)That would make his job very difficult and time consuming. And lets always remember just like you and the work you have done translating, the BMS team does this for free and they don’t have to share if they didn’t want to, same as you. So thank you for sharing your work, and thank you BMS team for sharing their work on the best F-16 sim out there! -
@Stuntman Hello, opinions like yours that are expressed with respect are always welcome.
The language of aviation is English and I have no problem with it… With this mod I’m just trying to help those who don’t speak English. They don’t understand communications, they don’t know what they have to do in a mission, they don’t understand AWACS texts and they don’t know where the bandits are… They don’t understand ATC and when they have permission to take off or land.
Imagine if Falcon were entirely in Chinese or Japanese, you wouldn’t understand anything at all.This mod doesn’t force anyone to have the simulator in Spanish. Anyone who wants to fly in the default language is within their rights, and I think that’s great. The question is, why isn’t it equally acceptable for many people to have the simulator in their native language and communicate however they want? What’s the problem?
In these two years, I’ve received hate, even insulted by people from my own country (Spain) for making this mod, as if it were sacrilege or something similar. My only intention here is to help, not to force anyone.

@Carbide I wasn’t referring to Max, he defends that English should be spoken in this forum and I totally agree with him…in my previous post I specify who I am referring to.

We sometimes forget that BMS is just a simulator. While we all agree that English is the standard language in aviation, not everyone speaks it fluently. So, do we close the door on those who don’t? Or do we welcome them by providing localised texts to help them engage with the sim?
Excluding non-English speakers only limits the community. BMS already has a steep learning curve, why make it even more complicated? Other flight simulators have done an excellent job integrating multiple languages, making their sims more accessible to a broader audience. There is no reason BMS shouldn’t strive for the same.
I supported Apolo’s work on Gibraltar Theatre to give vPilots an opportunity, not an obstacle.

@Apolo27 Understood.

@Maru amén!

@Maru Muchas gracias Maru, por todo en general, por aceptarme en el proyecto de Gibraltar en particular, por tu apoyo incondicional y además por brindarme tu amistad. Abrazos tío
Thank you so much, Maru, for everything in general, for accepting me into the Gibraltar project in particular, for your unconditional support, and also for offering me your friendship. Hugs

@Apolo27 Well said.

I tend to agree.
(for context I’m a commercial translator and interpreter).
That said, the language of this forum is English, and its hosts are English speaking. If I started writing in Japanese here (my other language) it would be unreadable and incomprehensible and people would justifiably complain. It would also be impossible for moderators.
I fully support the idea of creating language packs for BMS, but the language used in this forum should be English, or at the very least, other-language+English translation. Posting in languages not spoken by the forum hosts is something that should be avoided.
As for the old “English being the language of aviation” well. Yeah. Maybe. OTOH I helped train Japanese SDF (their airforce-equivalent) in English and trust me… the English you’ll hear in this region is only English by a stretch. The same is true in many places.

Nueva update del Mod…Ahora gracias a @Maru tenemos un ejecutable que instala el mod en todos los teatros disponibles, ya no es necesario instalar los archivos por separado, ahorrando tiempo y simplificando el proceso
En la carpeta DropBox se encuentra el zip con el ejecutable además de los archivos por separado por si quereis investigar en ellos
Infinitas gracias por esto @MaruNew Mod Update… Now, thanks to Maru, we have an executable that installs the mod in all available theaters. It’s no longer necessary to install the files separately, saving time and simplifying the process.
In the DropBox folder, you’ll find the zip file with the executable, as well as the individual files, in case you want to explore them.
Thank you so much for this, Maru. -

@Skorp Vaya!!, en eso no habia pensado… el teatro de Gibraltar tiene un cambio de idioma, tambien realizado por @Maru…y ahi si que puedes hacerlo…aqui de momento no, así que toca guardar una copia de los archivos en inglés (Aqui la burra solo camina palante xDD)…Resumen, se instala con el ejecutable y se desinstala manualmente reemplazando los archivos traducidos por los originales… Gracias por la observación y se trabajará en ello
Wow!! I hadn’t thought of that… the Gibraltar theatre has a language change, also done by maru… and there you can do it… here at the moment you can’t, so you have to save a copy of the files in English (Here the donkey only walks forward xDD)… Summary, it is installed with the executable and it is uninstalled manually replacing the translated files with the originals… Thanks for the comment and we will work on it.

@Apolo27 xDD, ay la burra!
