Virtools Translation

Provide I18N for an abandoned ancient game-making software - Virtools.

This repository consist of these parts:

• NlpCodec: The codec about encoding and decoding NLP translation file used by Virtools.
• NlpParser: An ANTLR written parser which can recognised decoded NLP text file syntax and convert it to a neasted JSON format because JSON format is more common.
• NlpProc
  • Convert the JSON between the nested JSON output by NlpParser and un-nested JSON (flat JSON / plain JSON) to let it more acceptable for the most of common I18N software.
  • Output NLP text file when compiling translation.

How to Translate

I take zh-cn (Chinese) as a example. Navigate to NlpTr folder first. and you will find following files.

• VT25.zh-cn.json
• VT30.zh-cn.json
• VT35.zh-cn.json
• VT40.zh-cn.json
• VT50.zh-cn.json

The only things you need to do is translate these JSON files.
