The Wiki-Team wants you!

[Klingsor]

Hello from the wiki-team!

Some of you may already have got the link to our SHO Wiki: www.showiki.de.vu
We're collecting informations you don't find in the game manual and add experiences and tips of the players. A big source is the forum but you know how hard it sometimes is to find a special information. One solution for this problem is a wiki and - here we go! - we are lucky to help other players, especially during their first trips with an u-boat.

Who we are?
Actual German authors are See_Wolf, HammerheadShark and Klingsor (there were more in the beginning of the project),
English authors are Rachann and Klingsor,
Dutch author is Astro-Baarns.

We already have a well filled German section of the SHO Wiki, and yes we are proud of it.
There is a lot of information you don't find in the game manual, the always same questions of beginners are answered there, additional how-to pictures and movie clips are available.

But the English section ... ^^

So do you know enough German or do you feel able to find out the purport of a text and are you able to author a text of same content (not word-by-word, the meaning is important!) as short and correct as possible in English language please let me know it via PM.
It's not necessary to compose a wiki website or add pictures, we only need brief texts.

Thank you!
~Klingsor~

should you also mention that we need people who can translate a french copy of the wiki?

Hi Klingsor,

Tonight I have talked with mod Subcruiser about getting more involved with the SHO game. He told me they need someone for the dutch SHO wiki page( For I'm Dutch). Most of it is not translated yet.
If I can be of any assistence please let me know.

[Klingsor]

@captainobVus - of course!

@ Gibbs8 - Great! At the Dutch wiki there is no progress. Would be a big help. But we are not involved in the game, I'd say we subject information to a suitable treatment especially for new players. Do you think you could become part of the wiki team by investigating the game please send me a PM.

If someone wants to help with translation: there is no need to translate word by word! Read what is meant an write it in your language with your words. I insert the texts to the Wiki and will formate and illustrate. Nobody have to think he has to translate the complete Wiki. Do as much as you want.

[Astro-baarn]

ah, I will already send you what I have done till now
was waiting till I had all done, I thought putting half info there is not OK

[Klingsor]

okay, thx!
I don't want to to alienate a friend!!! Not Astro-barn nor Gibbs8.
If you think you can share the rest and the future posts I'd be lucky.
Thank you both!

Klingsor, should we aim to have the manual translated into formal terms though?

[Klingsor]

I already asked the SHO team if it's allowed to use the game manual and the pictures of it. It is!
So we could merge the ubi game manual and the player's hints at one place.
Should we offer short manuals in additional language so other players would benefit of it.
Nothing's gonna stop us now!

I don't know how, but I would love to help with this in some way or another.
