galciv2 in italian language?

a question to game developers

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello to everyone.
I have a question for stardock game developers.
I was awared of an Italian translation of Galactic Civilization 2 from Paradox. In fact, this translation has never been made (i bought an english GC2 from this site, and another - the italian version - from paradox) and the only thing in my language is the handbook. So, i have started a personal translation of the game in Italian language. I would like to ask if i am breaking copyrights (notice that i am making this translation JUST FOR MYSELF, not for commercial use etc etc..) and the possibility to publish it when completed, of course, freeware as the various mods you can find.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I thought the game had been localized into Italian, but if it has not, feel free to translate it yourself, at least for personal use. If it has not been translated already, you might even be able to talk to Stardock and have them distribute the localised files themselves.

Thank you for the fast reply sir.
If it will be confirmed that the italian version is just limited to the handbook, i will be happy to send back the translation when completed and tested. really, it will be an honour for me

Best regards!

Good effort! Get it done. Too many games not translated into Italian. (My Wife is Venetian and loves gaming ...then again her English is rather perfect )
