Full Metal Galaxy

[kroc]

Hello,
Full Metal Galaxy is an open source (AGPL) wargame playable in a navigator and based on an old boardgame called full metal planete (cf http://www.solvalou.com/boardgames/fmp/ for a presentation)
Game is played every day by around 20 players.
Compared to other web based game, FMG is highly interactive due to:
- graphical only HMI (looks more like an RTS than an excel spreadsheet)
- real time mode (two players connected on the same game, ie page, see other movement in real time)


the developpement site (source repository, wiki) : http://code.google.com/p/fullmetalgalaxy/
The game site for user : http://www.fullmetalgalaxy.com (in french only)

I present it here to triggers interest and find buddy to help in:
- game evolution (AI, variant, ...)
- bug fix
- site translation
- graphical improvement (I've post here http://opengameart.org/comment/9141)
- community management
- other idea ?

Feel free to ask question or give feedback

The project seems quite nice, I'm cloning the repository to see a bit more about it and I like the fact that it is made in Java . Being mostly written in French makes it hard for me to understand and help (I did take some French classes but I could never get around to learn it properly). How far along is the English translation?

Not so far away...
One reason of my post is to motivate myself to complete a translation.

Technical mechanism is setup for game and web site.
The game itself don't have many thing to translate and is done at 50%.
Real problem is about website !

Now the game itself is translated...
although guide pages aren't
