Path of books and readable?

[Angelot]

In which folder are the books and readables in the FM folder? I would like to try to translate them into Italian language.  Thanks in advance.

They're in "/fms/[mission name]/xdata/*.xd". ...but other's fan missions will typically come packed into "*.pk4" archives, which you unzip first.

The xdata folder in this mission does not exist (Cosas2 - Precarious position). How do you unzip the .pk4 file?

A pk4 file is actually just a renamed zip file. You download an unpacker (which there are a few of on the internet) and then you right-click on the pk4 file and choose "unzip" or "unpack", and it will unpack all the files and folders from that pk4.

Ok, thanks.

Note that a missions needs to be setup to be translatable, which is often not the case. If so, contact the author.

What? How do you mean? Yes, there could possibly be special French characters which could require a font with those characters in them, and if there's too much text on one page, he needs to create new pages, but beyond that, what do you mean "set up"?

Well, it depends on just how far he's willing to translate things. If he's just aiming to translate the books, for some non-English friend, then he'll just need to edit the xdata.
