Translation

[tdelc]

Hi,

I did not see anything about translation of your game, so i ask this here. Would you except a multi-language support ?

If yes, and if such a "language" file exist, I think you could ask some help to the community. I know that some Artemis player have propose to help, but the Artemis creator don't want to.

I'm french, and i am ok to try to translate.

Regards,
Thomas

There is no language file at this moment, but I see no reason why we wouldn't accept such work.
It would take a bit of work to set everything up, as we use hard coded strings at the moment.

If it's just translating, I would love to translate EE into german language. So, if there's a chance that other languages are possible some day, just tell us.

I don't think anytime soon, due to the heavy scripted nature of some parts. And initial translation is usually not the problem, but keeping the translations updated is.

Ok, i understand that it's not a priority. So, don't hesitate to ask later when it will be nice for you.

And thanks for your work !

A little update from the translation front : support seems good for all latin-alphabet-based languages with default font, save a few exceptions (mainly thinking of Polish and Romanian). When I'll have a bit more of time, would like to try to submit a tentative first translation set, which would add French and Spanish support.

I think GUI would be quite fast to translate. Scenarios, on the other hand, would remain language-dependent.

If it is any good, I may come back to ask the community for additional translation.

I needed localization and I almost finished it. At the moment, only GUI.
That's what i did:
These functions, duplicating the "PreferencesManager" in many aspects, are required for translating a text into GUI . A text is translated directly before the processing in GuiElement. A composite text with several parts is an exception. Then these parts are translated before being sent to GuiElement. The string convertion to multibit format is added to GuiElement as well. The dictionary file is added to "EmptyEpsilon/resources/ru.ini". You can easily translate all the text in it by replacing the word after the "=" symbol.
In the coming days I will lay out the final version on git. If there are comments right now, I will be glad.

Hi there,

Any update on the additional languages support ? I'd be happy to translate everything in French as soon as the game supports it ;)

See you,
Thomas

Unfortunately, I did not leave my solution here, it is probably outdated due to many additions, and besides, I seem to have lost the source. (yes yes, this is a complete failure). I’ll make a new version before the end of the month.
  If you make the same file with a translation not into Russian, but into French, it will be cool)

Hey, thank you for the anwser.

Does it have to be in text format ?

[itugul]

Yes, you can throw it right here

[lacombet]

hey,

I'm on it.

Though is there a way to test it ? Cause some translation need context to be accurate.
Even if you have not finished your solution, it would be great being able to test it incrementally.

This feels addressed: https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon/wiki/Translation-and-Localization

The french translation specifically is probably among the most complete, thanks to @muerteFR colossal effort - if some people here are still looking to contribute, I'm sure he'll appreciate a hand :) .

(and cherry french touch on top from @Tsht with the (proposed) language selection UI in #1423 <3 )
