Translations ?

Post by DamJNeT »

I was thinking about this, would it be possible to translate the game in other languages ?

It would attract a lot more people, that's for sure.

I'd volunteer to do the french one.

I am currently adding localization support to Amber. It will be out once at least one translation is ready.
If you want to help with that particular client feel free to translate those https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37131061/l10n.zip
Note that files have UNIX style line endings so should use an editor which can handle those like Notepad++.
Save using the original UTF-8 encoding.

EDIT: also there is some additional code in the strings which allows embedding resources, text styling, or new line separators. Things like this:

$img[gfx/hud/chr/unarmed]
$col[255,128,128]{Oppressive}
i{"Ettinaz saw the signs"}
\\n

You'll will want to be careful with those and leave them as is, that is, just replace the english text but leave everything else intact.

I know one of my friend woud not be playing thame if I wasn't here to translate it for him. And I guess this is an issue for a lot of people. I'll look seriously into this but it may take some time, work takes me away for weeks right now...

This seems like the thing that can only happen by the community for right now. I think you do a great service to localize your Amber client.
