What happened with the Open Translation Project?

Why when I want to access the Open Translation Project it says “File not found.”? Why did you remove it?

This is how it looked like:

Open Translation Project

The aim of the Open Translation Project is to make InterAction studios games available in your favourite language. Unfortunately, only a few of the chickens we employ are multi-lingual, and those that do speak a second language mostly write in chicken scrawls, making it very hard for us to decipher their translations. So, we need your help.

If you’re interested in translating one of our games into your native language, please fill in this form. We’ll compile your preferences into the most popular languages and arrange for their translations in order of priority.

All languages are equally welcome. The only thing we ask is that you must translate to your first (native) language. We’re also offering a special mention in the game credits as well as free registration for 3 games of your choice!

Just so you know what to expect, the in-game text consists of about 500-1000 phrases in the following form:

LANGUAGE_( CONFIRM , “Are you sure?” )
LANGUAGE_( YES , “Yes” )
LANGUAGE_( NO , “No” )
LANGUAGE_( SAVETHEWORLD , “Save the World” )
LANGUAGE_( HALLOFFAME , “Hall of Fame” )
LANGUAGE_( OPTIONSDOTS , “Options…” )
LANGUAGE_( INTRO11 , “Episode III” )
LANGUAGE_( INTRO21 , “Chickens.” )
LANGUAGE_( INTRO22 , “For centuries we have oppressed them,” )
LANGUAGE_( INTRO23 , “grilling, roasting, stewing, and stuffing them in buns.” )
LANGUAGE_( INTRO24 , “We should have known the time would come for us to pay.” )
LANGUAGE_( INTRO25 , “And it did.” )
etc.

I suspect it got shut down. No more translations, I suppose.

The Open Translation Project has indeed stopped. Did you find a live link to it from the website? Or was it just an old news post?
