TranslationExtractorPlus

This tool loads the project's import csv files and exports all text keys into a comma delimited CSV file.

Requirements

In order for the translation to work, the project needs to be running so the required objects can be setup. The following is required:

• The extracted project files as described in the developer modding guide
• The files from this repository added to the extracted project folder as described above.

Installation Instructions

• Download the zip file from this repository and extract the files from the zip folder.

• Move the TranslationDump folder into the addons folder of the extracted Cassette Beasts project files as seen below:

  Contents of the extracted folder.

  

  Location to move that folder into.

  

  What it should look like inside the addons folder.

  

• Open the Cassette Beasts project in Godot and navigate to the TranslationDump folder inside the addons folder.

  

• Open the TranslationBox.tscn file and click the Play Scene button located at the top right of the screen.

  

• After clicking PlayScene a new window will open to load the extraction UI. From here just choose a language, click Extract Translations, and select a location to save the translated file. The window will take a second to process the file, the dialog window will be open this entire time. When the window closes and you see the swirling animation then it is finished extracting.

  

Working with the CSV File

Opening this file directly in a spreadsheet tool usually results in a lot of special characters being mostly unreadable. Instead I suggest using your spreadsheet tool's data import feature to load the data. Here's an example with a Japanese extract opened directly in Excel:

Now here's what it looks like when using Excel's Data import from Text/CSV:
