Credit file from SE 0.990 Build 10.

But it is in the directory 'data\locale'.

Hi again. I have been testing the beta 0.990 and I have encountered some little problems with the translation. By now it's just a matter of the planet names: In first place, the adjectives like "airless", "ultrabaric" and this kind of things appear before the class, like "Airless cold subterra", which is normal, but the problem is that in Catalan (as well as in Spanish and other languages) the adjectives usually go after the names, so when translated to Catalan "Airless cold subterra" should be "Subterra freda anatmosfèrica" but it appears as "Anatmosfèrica freda subterra". I guess this didn't happen before because in the old version, I had to translate the whole strings like "Cold terra" -> "Terra freda", but in this version I have to translate the names and adjectives as separate strings. Is there a way to tell the game to put the name before the adjectives depending on the language?

The other problem I have had regarding planet class names is that "Titan" in my language is masculine, but "Aquaria", which is a sub-class of titan, is femenine, so when you encounter an aquaria in-game it has masculine adjectives.

I am still testing the new things in the beta (amazing work by the way ) so if I come across something else I will let you know.

I will make a localization for them somehow. At least text like "Textures", "Music" etc will be replaced with a traslated one from the loc-gui.cfg file.
I am also working on a configurable main menu layout, so main menu script also must be localized somehow.

This has been discussed in the new planet classification thread. I will add support of a custom word order and some parameters to the localization file. For now, translate them as if this system already implemented.

SE already provides all genders for the words. You have to translate them:


And then specify the noun gender in the beginning of the file:



Use the rus-gui.cfg file as a reference - it provides translation for all genders (so you can copy-paste the complete list of words).

Problem solved! Somehow the text file I was editing didn't have the line GenderAquaria. I just added it and set it to the correct gender and it works fine

I could help with french translation

I added a new BB-code to the scripts, which is used for translations. So now the creadits file could be translated easily. First, the needed text is enclosed by the BB-code:

[LOC]Programmers[/LOC]

The localization file now have a new section - ScriptTranslations (it is probably will be per script). Add the translation to the word there:

"Programmers"   "Программисты"

Before displaying the script text (in this example - the credits file), SE will replace text [LOC]Programmers[/LOC] with Программисты everywhere.

I updated the Russian localization file using this system (I even translated my own name - it is easy now!):



So the question to translators - should I translate language names and planet names, which are present in the credits script? It seems a lot of work for you guys...

BTW, the same system is applied to tutorials. So you just have to translate a large bunch of new string in the localization file. In the next update, rus-gui.cfg will be a good example to start with.

SE don't type an error message if some string is missing in the new ScriptTranslations section (because it have to run all scripts to determine that), so it will be easy to miss some new translations in future updates. SE displays the non-translated (English) text in this case. It also don't type a warning if a garbage (obsolete translations) is found there. Just like in old versions of SE...

So, where or when do you think us translators will have access to that sample file in order to get the new versions of the localizations going? I'm finally finishing the last job in these crazy few months of mine (the next one is already determined, but the deadline is distant), so I'll be having time to devote to SE at least during the remainder of this month and in January.

(also, the new guy working with the brazilian localization seems to be a pretty good addition to the team; solid progress has been made)

For language names, well we indeed translated them in ita-crd.cfg, I don't think it's a big deal. Planet names usually are translated into the xxx-db.cfg file, as "LocName", isn't it? We just need to provide a translation for all objects with textures... ummm...

I'm somewhat confused how to start with a new translation. From what I've read on this thread it seems like 0.9.8.0 and 0.9.9.0 have quite a lot of differences (planet categorisation, credits, etc) so should I start translating my existing version and include/edit new stuff as it is released or can I start with the new version right away?

Of course you can start with the current file.
But here is my german file for SE 0.990.

You only have to replace the German term with your terms. And if necessary change the FontConfig.
You can then publish your files here. You may need to use Pastebin to publish your files as you can not yet make any attachments here. (You can only do that if you have at least 10 posts.)

However, there are likely to be some changes and some terms added, until the official release of SE 0.990.

Here is my current german translation file:

Or you can also use the Russian version:

It is for SE version 0.990.19.1510 beta.
If you intend to work as a translator, you can do that. All you have to do is replace the German/Russian strings with strings in your own language.
And if necessary, the 'FontConfig' must be changed.

I can help for french translation, if needed. 

On the other hand, how about translate the site ? Like Home, Download and Manual pages ? Is there any project about this ? I'm asking this because I know most of my compatriots aren't good at english, so...
