Serious business right there.
You guys are allowed to do it.

You don't need any kind of authorization for translating the game, you're free to do it.

You may have to lurk around the source files using Blitz3D to translate certain parts of the text though.

No need to ask for permission =) the game runs under a http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ so you can definitely make an official chinese translation.

Edit:

Here is how to get to the game's decompiled Source Code so you can edit the main.bb file to translate the English messages:

In SCP:CB folder go to the 'Source Code' folder Inside it is the 'Main.bb' file, you can edit it with the Notepad program or Notepad++ You want to only edit lines that look like this: Msg = "Pick up the paper on the desk and open the inventory by pressing tab"

Be careful not to edit any other code lines, because that is the games main programming file, only edit the English message lines.
The edited chinese version will not appear until you have someone re-compile the code into a new game .EXE; so you can post here or Private Message me on the forums or email me at to get it recompiled if you need any more help.

Unfortunately Blitz3D can only render ASCII characters.
There is a library, FastText that provides UTF-8 support which can be found here: http://fastlibs.com/libraries.php

As the others have said you do not need permission to translate this game into your language of choice, go right ahead!

Also good luck.

Hopefully when this game is finished fully Regalis will have all the languages worldwide to download, would be a cool idea but should be done once the game is completed.
