UK Localisation Modd [british English]
Over on this side of the pond, we like to laugh at our American cousins and their peculiar use of English ("aluminum"??), but they then provide most of the media we use - films, games, TV series, etc, so I guess they have the last laugh!
Following on from the frankly excellent work of ill tonkso, I've made some wholesale changes to the language files in the game. Too many changes to list them all, but a few examples are:
Fire Department = Fire Brigade
Garbage Truck = Dustcart
Police Kiosk = Local Police Station
Soccer Field = Football Pitch
- Also, highways are motorways, elementary schools are primary schools, high schools are secondary schools, etc, but these changes have now been implemented everywhere.
- All American spellings such as "favor", "neighbor", "center", "meter", "color", etc have been changed.
- General Americanisms such as "sidewalk" (pavement), "trash"/"garbage" (waste/rubbish/litter/refuse), "bucks" (quid), "dollars", etc have been removed and replaced.
- Some of the news items and opening statements have been changed - one such change being a shameless plug for Simtropolis and SC4Devotion!
- Many other changes, including a few Easter Eggs in there! Many English references - I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
ill tonkso's download was used as the base, and then the extensive changes were implemented on top of that. This file is uploaded with his kind permission.
