Package: enigma
Version: 1.01-3
Severity: minor

In the level "the Document", from the enigma I set, the player must
answer questions by flipping switches.  Now the questions are
translated, but the answers must still be given in english.  That means
the level can only be solved if the player knows it is translated, from
English, and is able to answer in English.  Given the nature of the
puzzle that is not unlikely, but still I consider it a bug. ;-)

I don't have a good fix for this problem.  The best would be to
translate the answers as well, but that may be almost impossible.  It
should at least be possible to start with saying that the answers must
be given in English.

The last question is, at least in dutch, translated literally, which is
a problem in itself.  The puzzle there is to figure out that the answer
is the number of letters in the word.  Translating "if ten equals three"
to dutch turns "ten" into "tien", which should not equal three, but
four.  This can be solved by notifying the translators about the
problem, so they can change the numbers to match their words, and choose
a new question which matches the required answer.

Thanks,
Bas
