I think this might be a bug with the Italian translation. The correct conversation phrase (English) is this:

Code: Select all

{snakemaster|Well well, what have we here? A visitor, how nice. I\'m impressed you got this far through all my minions.\n\nNow prepare to die, puny creature.|||Great, I have been waiting for a fight!|F||||Let\'s see who dies here.|F||||Please don\'t hurt me!|F||||};
But the Italian translation (previously done by k6blue) has this as phrase for the snake master:

Code: Select all

{snakemaster|Bene bene, cosa abbiamo quì?Un visitatore, che bello. Sono impressionato ,è arrivato a questo punto sconfiggendo i miei servitori. Ora preparati a morire, piccola creatura.|||||||||||||||||||||Combatti!|F||||||||||||||};|
Note that the English version has three different possible replies, while the translated versiononly has one reply.

I should probably write some script to check if there are more translation phrases that change the flow of conversations. Or someone else might be interested in writing such a script?

Thanks for noticing it Giulio!

Missing translations should either default to the English text or output a placeholder, eg. "Translation missing!".

It is kind of hard to know what translations are missing unless you speak the language.

At least the number of options could be counted, though, judging from the code snippets above. I don't really know what it says, code being as foreign to me as Italian is, but I can see that there is only one option. I would be willing to try to do that, if there is a way to access the conversations without wading through all the other code, and to compare the English and Italian versions on the phone.
