First thank you for your sincere reply

0- OK. Sorry to hear sales are too low here. Anyway I will do that, when new game comes up I want my people see Steam page, installer and game in our language. For Guides etc. lets say we will see what happens while working for these trio first. BTW I'm using Notepad++ as note editor, do you recommend anything else instead?

1- I can do that but i already have some screenshots with annotations as examples. If you first check these I will be glad. Green annotations are what they should be and green markings are good examples to that. I didn't marked wrong letters with red because didn't look good but, they are obvious.

2- OK. I already spent some time just try to realize things like that but I will start from scratch because I messed around for trying many things at once hehe I'll go step by step without rush, so I can see if this type of things affect an unwanted menu/button etc..

hsngrms,
0) I guess Notepad++ is fine ; it's better to re-read everything at the end with Word or any program that can spellcheck Turskih though

1) I did a quick check and actually it was easy to fix it, so if I got it correctly, it should be fine in the next update

0- Good idea, thanks. I installed a spell checker extension for Notepad++ which is Hunspell based, it is Spell Checker of LibreOffice, Chrome, Opera and so. (I don't have Word on my PC)

1- Good to know that. I believe it is simple. A quote from Microsoft's "Turkish Style Guide" for localization professionals:

The English language tends to overuse capitals. In software translations, following the
source style is a common practice in Turkish, but consistency between similar items
should be considered.

As a general rule, only proper nouns and the first word of a sentence have to be
capitalized. There are just a few exceptions (for example, legal terms in a contract).
Normally, "ALL CAPS" or "no caps" are not used in Turkish. If they are used as design
elements in source text, same can be applied in Turkish translations. But, changing cases
automatically does not work smoothly for Turkish. So, this needs to be done manually
not to corrupt Turkish characters "i" ("İ" in uppercase) and "ı" ("I" in uppercase).

Edit: After today's update I see you fixed ı > I change. But i > İ not works, game still converts as i > I . So, 2nd picture of above post still looks same.

Edit 2: Uploaded the file I messed with my trials. You can see yourself after making changes. Sorry about not doing that earlier.

lang_Deutsch.txt

German file name chosen because it is next to English, good to see changes immediately

I checked some more, and for the next update, put this line at top of your Lang_German.txt .

Code: Select all

antimouse,
here the new needed sentences for the Portuguese version..!

@manutoo

Thanks for the tip. I did it.

By the way, past days I was enjoying different game (Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord) and so postponed this translation a bit. I see no reason to rush but I know these types of voluntary tasks becoming sloppy if spread in a long time, so I'll keep that in mind and focus again soon. (Some can think/say "you don't need to report", because there is no time-framed project but, I just wanted to update you.)

[manutoo]

hsngrms,
yes, no problem.
It's true that if you do only 20 minutes of translation per day, not do anything some days and so on, it might take forever ; and on the other hand, if you can work on it 4 or 5 hours per day, it'll be done in 3 days, but it's real work, and one that kinda gets boring fast, and you're not paid, so I'm not gonna blame you whatever way you go, no worry !

Hey Manutoo,

I could finish the Spanish translations if that's okay to you.

Let me know

[manutoo]

MarcoVZLA,
sure, that'd be great !
Here the new sentences to translate, and the current Spanish translation.

Ttry to check it 1st to keep the same already used terms ; if you have played the game, you might be already acquainted with them, though.

Algo did some changes in it to make it more classic Spanish instead of South American Spanish (if I got that right ).

[MarcoVZLA]

Ok great! ill start tomorrow, I don't know when it will be finished but ill try to do it ASAP hahaha

here the new needed sentences for the Portuguese version..!

Manu,
I finished translating the file. I'll do some review before sending it to you.

Can I also change some term in the old translations (updating the old file as well, of course) or would you rather let the old translations untouched? I ask this because now there is a "counter puncher" style, and I'm thinking that maybe the term I used for the "counter" style before may be more suited to the new style. But if you want to keep the old ones unchanged to avoid confusion, that's ok for me, I'll use another term to the new one.

[manutoo]

antimouse,
sure, you can retouch, tune & fix the previous version if the need arises !

Hey Manutoo, I'm not seeing the romanian language in the game. Should I edit something ?

[manutoo]

SCHLIRi,
you can set it in Settings -> Misc Options -> Language.

[SCHLIRi]

The only languages that I can pick are English, Spanish, French, Italian, Magyar, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Serbian, Slovak, Russian, Croatian and German.
