[Help] Shorts of Sector Names

[SymTec ltd.]

Hi you creative guys,

I'm currently writing an X³-scripts/modding-script right now, mostly in German. This script is going to name ships and stations according to the sectors they are placed in.

However, to be able to release an English version, I need help: I have no idea how a native speaker would make two-letter-abbreviations of sector names. This is what I have in German, sector Kongdom's End:

Code: Select all

 <!--     x y-Coordinate-->
 <t id="10000">KT</t> <t id="20000">Königstal</t>

which would be in English:

Code: Select all

 <!--     x y-Coordinate-->
 <t id="10000">KE</t> <t id="20000">Kingd End</t>

-> id's are unimportant - I can do that part
-> "KE" is the main abbreviation for Kingdom's End
-> "Kingd End" is the short to avoid too long names

Would you be willing to help me?
-> main abbreviations must be individual universe-wide and always 2 capital letters
-> shorts must be max. 11 letters long

thank you

Happy to help. PM me the sectors you're having trouble with, and I'll send back the (hopefully ) appropriate abbreviations and shorts.
