But as most comments were positive, motivating to download StarTrade and give it a go, a problem showed up: StarTrade has been german-only. <p>I suddendly realized that, when releasing StarTrade for Linux-users, there will be also a large number of potentional gamers who do not speak german, so I started a communityproject in our official forum aiming at a first, rough (well.. we got a slight lack of translators who speak english as their first language) english translation - and here it is. Just visit the official StarTrade homepage (http://www.fetzenet.de), download, after already having installed StarTrade, the English-Mod and follow the instructions. <p>However, this is only a first attempt - I've created an international Area in the official forum and everyone's welcome to visit us. If you encounter any translation-errors or just want to improve something feel free to join the communityproject - the released version is only a first try. <p>That's it. Have fun to everyone who will try out StarTrade e.g. the international Version of it! </blockquote> StarTrade V0056 updated StarTrade
