SimHub Translation

Translation introduction

Because it's not possible for a single developper to create and maintain many translations for simhub (Currently only English and French are maintained), It's now possible to create custom translations for a vast majority of the Simhub interface.

How to install a translation file

• Download a resx translation file and copy it into C:\Program Files (x86)\SimHub\languages
• Restart simhub
• Go in settings and choose your language

How to create a translation

• Close SimHub

• Choose your culture on this page https://lonewolfonline.net/list-net-culture-country-codes/, and take the "Cultureinfo code" (Ie fr-FR for french

• Go inside C:\Program Files (x86)\SimHub\languages and create an empty text file called Simhub.{Cultureinfo code}.resx .Ie Simhub.fr-FR.resx for french. Warning you might have to show files extensions in windows explorer in order to set properly the file extension)

  

• Open simhub and go to settings

• Choose your new language

  

• Click on edit translation

  

• The translator window will open, then you can start to translate strings :

  

• To go faster you can use the assistant available in the menu :

  NB : The assistant offer a basic google translate suggestion, this service usage is limited and will stop working once the requests limit is reached, it will come back later when the limit has been cleared

• Once done Simply close and save the file (Menu File -> Save)

• Restart Simhub to see your changes.

Some translation advises

• The language author information can be defined using the SettingsLangageAuthor text in the translation
• Do not use google translate blindly, the result would be really average
• Respect punctuation of the original text (do not omit ending ":", "," etc ....)
• Respect Case of the original text, if the text was in upper case, keep it in upper case.
