Sure that Timon said no to someone who's willing to translate the mision, maybe he missunderstod the mail and he thought that we want HIM to translate the missio and he said no to that.
just wandering.

Here's a little Christmas Prezent :)

WalkthroughLast year I asked Timon if I could release a Google translated English version of this mission but my request was declined, he said he would prefer to release his own version one day, if he ever gets around to finishing it, so sadly I can not pass around the translated zip I made, but the walkthrough I have made does include translations of the goals and explains the gist of the most important conversations that occur, but in keeping with Timon's request I have not included the full translations, just enough for players to understand what happens. I have also included translations of keys, objects and I made a map, hopefully enough for you guys to both play and appreciate how good this mission really is.
I suggest players read page 1 of the walkthrough before playing but not page 2. Page 2 is an overview of the goals with explanations of what has just occurred, so you may find it helpful to print page 2 off and keep it by your computer as you play so when something important happens you can easily refer to it.
Enjoy!
Happy Christmas. :D

Your welcome!
Feedback on the walkthrough and suggestions on how I can improve it would be appreciated.

I really liked that mission. I made a translation myself by using google translator. Took me under 10 minutes. Wasn't, off course, the best but good enough to play and enjoy this mission. Can highly recommend everyone doing the little effort. This was a really good fm with a great optic.

... and with really interesting ideas, too! I also used an automatic translator for a first raw translation (to German, in this case), then refined it several times until everything seemed to fit well. Hopefully, the mission will one day be released, in a form appreciated and allowed by the author.

Since you can speak english I would recommend you to translate such things into english. From my experience german translations with google or those on youtube aren't of a good quality. The german translation always seems to be a literal translation of the english version and not one from the initial source. I translated it into english and didn't changed anything (because of my laziness:D) and was able to understand everything and finish the mission.
It's sad that the author declined the translation. Not everyone wants to do this little effort so the majority of the community is really missing out on a gem of a mission. But of course we need to respect it. Would like to see more missions of this author. I really liked this one.

Polish is a difficult language to translate with online translation services the result is a mix of easily understood sentences and almost compete gibberish, so even when you do understand what Timon wrote it only makes sense up to a point and you need to reinvent large sections of paragraphs, knowing full well that you have lost a lot of the nuances and jokes he included.
I used google to translate Abandoned Kingdom by ERH+ many years ago and the result was an extremely floral, even poetic, sounding set of books, it kind of worked but you can only really give it 3/10.
There is an argument that we don't need authors permissions to translate missions once they have been released if you use an English-Polish proof reader, I however would be uncomfortable doing that with this mission when Timon has expressly said he wants to release his own updated mission one day.
