I'll try to remember to update these for next time.

I was also considering a 3rd party Locale mod, something I don't maintain myself but other people translate for me.
The question though is if it can be made as one of those mods that don't break multiplayer compatabillity if some people have it and others don't, like the official campagne pack.

New Version is up.

* Fixed some Typos

I think I forgot to include these in the recent update. x.x

Okay, I'm thinking that this should be the format for locales additional to english (So they can be easilly edited and added to without having to re-release mods just to add a translation)
Here's a sample, what do you think?

Having a quick read through some of these translations, there apears to be an untranslated line in bobplates.cfg

Good job! I'll make a project during this week on github, so everyone can contribute.

Thanks for your work!

After taking a break, I'm still working on it. I've re-encoded a few files that were encoded incorrectly: Should be UTF8, and fixed a couple of errors that caused the game to crash trying to load it. (hydrogen-canister=Wasserstoffgasflasche leeren instead of empty-hydrogen-canister=Wasserstoffgasflasche leeren, etc)
Also adding a Russian translation.

I'll upload the revised version when I'm done.

Perhaps if there's a project for it, people may try and contribute other languages too.

One of the issues of having the translations in 2 places (this mod, and my mods) is that you don't know which one loads first. if my mod loads after this mod, you may end up with a wrong translations.

So, should I delete the translations from my mods, in favor of this mod?

Anyway, that link is the latest edit, everything "Apears" to work, the most important things are that the game actually loads, and that a non-roman charactor (Accented charactors etc) doesn't act like an end of line.

There you go: https://github.com/Karosieben/boblocale
If anyone wants to contribute, leave me a pm.

I totally agree with the split. It's better to maintain the translation seperatly, so you can focus on your work and we can update the translation.

Yup.

Stickified.

You should probably give me editing rights too, Same name as here.

Hopefully this will be added alongside my mods on the main download page when it's ready.

Hooray \o/

Granted.

Forked/updated/pull requested.
I've added original (en) files to repo, as I use some kind of CAT tool which requires source files to be present. Anyway, if you don't like it, remove them.

I don't mind English being included in the repo, as long as I can remember to update it from time to time. it would give the opertunity to update the translations between mod versions, rather than having to wait for release. But it shouldn't be included in the release.

Updated the first post here, so the repository is mentioned.

I'll improve some of the german translations and release the next version after that without the english source files.

Okay.

Just make sure the encoding is correct before you release it, you have to actually set the language in game to test it. Some of the previous releases actually crash the game on load due to wrong encoding, others have strings that terminate at an accented character. As mentioned previously, it should be standard UTF-8 (There are alternate versions too)

Hi there.
I made a translation of BoB's mod into Polish.
Hope you enjoy it, it should be quite accurate, tried to do my best. Although any comments and suggestions are welcomed.

To install it just unpack in your mod's folder

Anyone feel free to use it in any localization packs.

I'd put it on the github repository, but I'm not sure how.

Hello,

I have translated some mods but i don't really know how to use Github. Any advice anyone? Thx
I have translate to FR from EN, hope the translation is correct in most case and accurate with the rest of the FR translation.

The only think that i don't know how to handle is that :

assembling-machine-4=__ENTITY__assembling-machine-4__

These sort of line need translation too?


Here's a list of the Bob's mod that i have translate :

bobassembly_0.12.7
bobelectronics_0.12.6
bobenemies_0.12.6
boblibrary_0.12.3
bobmining_0.12.3
bobmodules_0.12.9
bobores_0.12.7
bobplates_0.12.10
bobpower_0.12.6
bobtech_0.12.4


bobwarfare_0.12.9 (in progress... 300 lines and my military English is ridiculous )

These are special case lines that basically say "Use the name specified as "assembling-machine-4" in the Entity section", so, you can ignore these lines.

I'm pretty clueless too, otherwise I would have done the Polish one myself, posted previously.

Hi there.
