Hi wamboyil,
I can't see that this is a fan-made translation.

Hi kettlfish,

I'm not sure if I understand your comment. I really did do all the work on this myself (as I have done for many Carcassonne items in the past).  I started with the original German PDF from HiG, opened each page in Adobe Illustrator, and then took each page apart piece by piece so I could isolate only the text parts, then inserted the English translation, and re-saved it back to a new PDF.

I enjoy doing it, for the community as well as for myself. This way, I don't have to wait for the English version of the game, and I can get the HiG version now!  :)

Yes, but HiG will never give an original English version of the German rules.

At your document I can't find who did the translation. It is really not official.
The only official English version of the rules is by Z-man games.

I believe that's why he did it?

All kettlefish is saying is that since the translation isn't endorsed by HiG or ZMG, wamboyil should put his own name in it as the translator. I don't thing the term "Fan Translation" is necessary, perhaps something more like "Translated by Wamboyil for CarcassonneCentral" or something like that. Thus the fan part is implied but not awkward.

Thanks whaleyland,
Yes, that is it what I like to have on that document.

Yes, it's good to distinguish this as a fan-made translation so that we know it's more accurate than the official English rules that will be published by Z-Man Games. >:D

Excellent work, as always, wamboyil! I'm really excited to get my hands on this game.

I've uploaded a new file for the Carcassonne: Gold Rush English rules, adding the "English translation by…" statement as suggested by kettlefish. Here is the new link (the old one is not valid anymore):

Also, here's my English translation for the rules to Carcassonne: Gold Rush - The Sheriff:

Enjoy!

When will the English edition be officially released?

It was sold out at Essen, but can't find it yet on Amazon and such.
