Provide translations through other means than localization files

[TheRealWormbo]

Most UT2004 players will understand English or even play the game in that language. However, some players prefer running the game in their own language because their understanding of the English language is not sufficient to immediately understand everything without an additional translation service.
For this audience, translation into the most-used European languages should be provided. I can provide German translations myself, but for other supported languages, such as Spanish, French, Italian or maybe Russian, I will have to rely on community help.

Additionally, these translations must be provided in a way that does not rely on clientsidely installed localization files, because these cannot be downloaded on-the-fly from a redirect server.

All required standard translations (except the East-Asian ones), plus a Russian one, are now available as localization files. I doubt I'll get any Chinese or Korean ones, but if anyone can provide them or any additional translations for unofficial UT2004 language packs such as Icelandic, Bulgarian or Serbian: I'll happily accept your pull request.

Of course these are all just standard localization files, so they won't be pushed to clients by the server. I still don't quite know how to provide translated strings within the package file.

Have you thought about utilizing Google Translator for adding other languages?

Also, I'm having an issue with a UT2004 project I've been working on. 3SPNv3211 is the repository. The 3SPNv3210CW repository is the source. I was informed by the last coder to update it that the ServerLink database is tightly coupled with his website. That being said, I'd have to put together a database on my own. He said he wasn't going to release his site's code unless there was a significant interest in it.

Never ever use automated translation just for the sake of providing translations. If anything, it can only serve as a work basis for someone that already knows the language.
After all, in ad 2101 war was beginning.
