Hi,

I have translated and/or created German Language Patches for several Ultima games, that are lacking the German language or which have never been translated. I would like to share these patches (for free, of course) and have created posting ins the Ultima Forum about my works. Namly these posts:
Ultima 9: http://www.gog.com/forum/ultima_series/ultima_9_german_language_patch_deutscher_sprachpatch
Ultima 6: http://www.gog.com/forum/ultima_series/ultima_vi_auf_deutsch_spielbar_ultima_vi_german_language_patch_available
Ultima 7: http://www.gog.com/forum/ultima_series/ultima_7_the_black_gate_forge_of_virtue_deutsches_handbuch_german_manual_available (manuals)

While creating these posts I had to learn, that I am not able to post links because my "Reputation" is below 10. I have contacted GOG support and learned that I can gain reputation points by posting or being upvoted.

Now: instead of creating useless posts to up my reputation (how silly is that?) I would like to ask you to help me by upvoting me to better my reputation so I am able to post links as well. 11 would be fully sufficient ;-)

If you took the time to read this post and my reputation is still below 10, please consider to upvote me.

You can check back anytime to see I will not be posting crappy links :-D

Thanks for taking the time to read all this.

All the b est,

Don't call it silly! It's a time-honoured GOG tradition.
I can't speak german, but +1
Unfortunately you can gain like 5 rep/day, except if you solve questions.

Wow, translating those beasts must have been quite the endeavour. I salute you!
and another +1
Thanks to every single one of you for your very kind and prompt support.

I am able to post links now and already did so :-D

Hopefully those links do not get disabled if my Rep drops below 10 again *lol*

toxicTom: Thanks heaps for your kind words :-D It was quite a challenge indeed. Ultima 6 Project translation took me 2 years, 4 hours a day - and another 9 months for adapting the translation for the original Ultima 6. In case you wondered: Ultima 6 has ~800 letter sized pages on a typewriter ;-)

No they won't be.
Curious question: Couldn't you just paste in unclickable links?
yet another +1

I don't speak German but having played these games I know how big your task was. Awesome Sir.John!
+1 for the effort. I have studied some German, but trying to play Ultima auf Deutsch would certainly be overkill for my scarce abilities.
+1 for the great effort and nice project!

Wow, that's tremendous dedication. And I know that translating games is especially hard, since they're not linear (at least RPGs like Ultima) and it's sometimes hard to understand the context of the lines from the script alone.
