Die Heimstatt des Sir John

Die Heimstatt des Sir John is the page of Sir John Dragon, which however is entirely in German. Sir John, also known as Serendipitous Dragon, is a very profilic fan of the Ultima-series and has often shown disappointment that the series got so few titles translated to German or was critical of the translation work done. Therefore Sir John (real name John Kehl) decided to do something about that. His goal is to translate the games that did not get an official translation into German. This site does hold the final products of his work, while his other site, Ungesundes Halbwissen contains his current progress on the various projects.

Projects

 * The first work actually was done for The Ultima 6 Project, where Sir John was responsible for the creation of the German translation of the game.
 * Ultima VI auf Deutsch is a complete translation of Ultima VI into German. This proved to be challenging because of the text entry and the fact that everything had to be done by hex-editor. Some compromises had to be made but the game is a full German translation with this patch.
 * The Ultima VI Nitpickers Delight Patch is a patch for the English version of Ultima VI intended to repair many of the inconsistencies in the game, mainly in the dialogues of the NPCs.
 * Ultima VII auf Deutsch is a complete translation of Ultima VII into German. The base game actually had been translated, but Forge of Virtue had not been. Additionally, the original translation was wonky in parts. The patch does a complete German translation of Black Gate and Forge of Virtue, including all graphics and voices.
 * Ultima VII Part Two auf Deutsch is a current work in progress. Since Serpent Isle never got a German trnanslation, it proves to be the most complicated work yet for Sir John.

Additionally, Sir John also houses the German translation for Ultima V: Lazarus and various German translations of the original game manuals.
