[Trailblazer of Magnum Opus] 1.9 Support - BetterThanMinecon 16.2 Special Version

[3TUSK]

Give this issue a background music

(Note:
1.This issue is multilingual - at least, bilingual.
2.This issue is verbose.)

Yes that's it. Expect the miracle.
Besides I do want to see someone who comes from HK/Macau/TW and is willing to help rewrite them into zh_HK/zh_TW/et cetera. I don't really trust those automatic converters, thus I won't do it on my own.

Please, consider helping us finish them before July 29th (UTC) when BTM16.2 will start!
请所有看到此Issue的同学考虑帮助赶在7月29号前完成下表中所有MOD的简中本地化支持，谢谢！

Statistics Data

Now there are 2 mods (BetterWithMods, Harvest Festival) left, Roots exclusive. The possibility of we pausing Simplified Chinese support of certain mod(s) still exists.

• Roots - I @3TUSK have heard of another guy who is working on the translation. He also made a repost of Roots. Hence we are waiting for further progress.
• BetterWithMods - we are facing the fact that BetterThanWolves has no common-agreed Chinese translation, and we cant find an expert player of BetterThanWolves in our community for now.
• Harvest Festival - as it is a mod based on settings of Harvest Moon, we will be unable to get any significant progress unless we can find someone who are familiar with the original game.

Why?

Damn @bakaxyf. I guess it is the best way to show how hardworking Chinese people are.
Besides, I plan to hold a panel on BTM16.2. I have submitted the request form, and while I am waiting, this will be part of preparation of panel.

How?

1. Tracking the mod booth list
2. Tracking all mentioned mods
3. Once there is available en_US.lang then DO IT!!!
4. Go back to 1. and keep guessing which mod will show up on BTM16.2

TBA. Im still busy with contacting folks and preparing for my Finals. Yes - Finals.
Now awaiting those who attends NCEE. That's ended, so hype!
Also started to work around permission of usage of several existed translation.
Note 1: aka self-recommendation
Note 2: no idea whether we can get the translation done or not. No guarantee.
Note 3: aka a small group of translators. You don't want someone who know nothing about the English language, right?
Note 4: no guarantee.

Progress tracking

Terminology:

• ?: Uncertain, a.k.a. citation needed, well-known as "Yes? No? Maybe? Maybe not?"
• N/A: either it's unnecessary to support translation (like blay09's BetterMinecraftChat, there is no need of translation), or there are technical difficulties on supporting localization.
• Ref.: Reference for short
• *: Will be supported by resourcepack, either due to technical difficulties or inactivity of author.
• Lib: This is a "mod o' shared", i.e. a library mod. Any mod marked with this have low possibility to be translated - unless there is necessity.

Special notes: not all reference links are valid - at least, before pull request being merged. Also, it's not always up to date, but I will try do update as soon as possible.

1: I knew that that translation for IC2exp in 1.8.9 is retrieved from www.mcmod.cn but I do need to double check. This is a reminder - due to IC2's special position in most players' mind, I won't forgive any fatal mistakes. Done. However, it still requires some revision, so submission will be delayed definitely.

[ghost]

What do those '?' marks mean..?

[3TUSK]

"?" means "not sure" or "have no idea" as the last "?" in your question. @partial-s

[ghost]

So I was thinking there still has some items that could be confirmed as a certain defined status by compare the differences between old and new language files. Such as Chisel, Cooking for Blockheads, and RFTools.

In my opinion.

[3TUSK]

@partial-s I might add IndustrialCraft 2 to the list. Because, just because.

[ghost]

Well, I'm unacquainted with IndustrialCraft² now.

[3TUSK]

...
Table is broken.

[3TUSK]

Table repaired, but I will update IC2 - I need that XD

@partial-s 说起来，http://www.mcmod.cn/class/333.html 为什么全是英语，又不是FTB Wiki（不论是gamepedia还是ftbwiki.org）

[DSLM]

写的人是直接复制粘贴的吧

[3TUSK]

@DSLM 唉。
另，催更OpenBlock的FTB Wiki翻译，我相信你的Final已经结束了（雾）

[asiekierka]

I guess it is the best way to show how hardworking Chinese people are.

You're competing with the German work ethics of Vexatos here (who has translated literally hundreds of mods over the past 2-3 years). Watch out.

Anyhow, amazing project!

[3TUSK]

@asiekierka But @crafteverywhere is more hardworking than me, to be honest. Statistic data

Edit: Also @Mrkwtkr. Statstics data

[asiekierka]

More than half of this is translations.

[3TUSK]

I really want to combine all known Chinese translators' statistic data together.

[mezz]

Please add JustEnoughItems to the list https://github.com/mezz/JustEnoughItems/blob/1.9/src/main/resources/assets/jei/lang/zh_CN.lang
I think it's mostly complete though.

[3TUSK]

@mezz Apologize, also added JEI back.

Anyone knows how to do a booth for JEI?

[3TUSK]

CLA... @mezz I suggest to separate assets/jei/lang to another repository, as Forestry does.

[mezz]

Keeping another repository for JEI lang is more work, it doesn't change very much. Thanks!

...Update? (not on 1.9.4 branch) zh_CN for CookingForBlockheads, so a bit off-topic
Besides, someone is floating around...?

[3TUSK]

Ok here is probably the final result:
More than 95% (estimated) of those mods have gotten localization support, maybe a bit more or a bit less. I hereby consider this mission as "not fully completed but effective enough".
Some of localization files are not sent to mod author yet (e.g. IC2-Experimental, Roots, Simple Caterpillar). This will be done soon ^TM. (but, really, once I get seconds of free time.)
Some of localization support may be outdated (e.g. Quark), but I would like to provide further support if I am available, plus anyone asks for such.
I am sorry but there are two mods untranslated: BetterWithMods, and Harvest Festival. They are, unfortunately, fall into the "technical difficulties" category. Both of them are based on something that we have no existed official documents that is translate/transliterate/[whatsoever way] into Chinese. To be specific, BetterWithMods is a mod that based on BetterThanWolves but there is no complete documentation or tutorial of BetterThanWolves that is written in Chinese (no matter what variant it is); Harvest Festival is a mod based on Harvest Moon series but we neither could find reliable source that can use as reference, nor could find a community member who have played Harvest Moon for a while. I do believe, however, those two of "technical difficulties" will be terminated in the age, as it is a matter of effort.
All translators that have responded to this project have witnessed the birth of miracle. Hope everyone who have read here to enjoy BetterThanMinecon 16.2.
