I've already translated the game into Hungarian (well, only a couple of dialog files are left), so yes, it can be translated, but you need some SPECIAL programs, and the texts ARE NOT in the .dialog files, so you don't need those. Oh yeah, and be prepared that this game is a b*tch, when it comes to translation:D
Take a look at the current Hungarian translation (some pics;))

About the files. There are two files that are important:
-MainDataStreaming.dv2 (contains every text, except the dialogs)
-DialogsData.dv2 (contains the dialogs)
You have to extract the two files, and then convert the .xml files to .txt, and vise versa to work.
If anyone needs some specific help on how to translate the game (this is just a hobby project for us, so not official, hope Larian does not consider this as illegal;)), contact me by sending a PM:)
PS.: I and a friend started translating the game in February, 2010. It has LOTS of texts, and I really mean LOTS!
Hi, I found this post when I was trying to find a way to open the .dialogs files to translate them to Turkish language. I'm now the manager of Dragon Age Turkish traslation team and we nearly translate % 80 of the texts (dialogs, quests, creatures, items etc). I am also translating Risen to Turkish. When these projects finished I want to start the translation of Divinity 2 (or Divine Divinity, but alas there is no way to change the DDs dialogs other than using an hex editor)
Can you explain to me how to convert xml files to txt file, and when the translation is finished convert them back.
You said Divinity 2 has lots of texts, you must see the Dragon Age Origins, over 100.000 lines of dialogs (I'm not exaggerating).
