Okay, although it's in
Okay, although it's in Chinese I think there are still many people (first of all, including Chinese speaking, of course) that may be interested in this one. Also, maybe spreading the word about this game will bring us translation one day.

Nothing wrong, your comment
Nothing wrong, your comment gave me the opposite idea.
It is a pity the game isn't foss or you could help translating it.
Translations to and from Italian and Spanish are the only contributions I have been able to give to FOSS. I often do professional translations as well

I lack of logicial thinking - espcially in Linguistic. But I maintain Battle for Wesnoth Chinese translation and many other FOSS games translation as well.
To language skills: I trained low level Mandrian and lower level English.
And you know 3 maybe more, thats fantastic. Contribution to FOSS also by filing bugs, I submit hundreds of bugs to various projects already.
However, I cannot translate this game to English, same reason lack of interests. I do not like it and am unable to fully understand its success. Its a typical fantasy Wuxia video game, one genre of Chinese fictions ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuxia#Video games ).
