🌎 How to translate the game

[Ahmed577]

Wait, so you are an arabic person?

[chickenboi]

i mostly use arabic languages

[VerMishelb]

It was probably already asked but is it possible to add a section with latest lines added in update? It’s quite hard to find the strings people translated quickly to check them.

[JimMcKinleypSGT]

I think it can be easily fixed

@VerMishelb

is it possible to add a section with latest lines added in update

Added in v.94.

Note that this is actually a hack – the information about when phrases were added to the game doesn’t exist anywhere. Instead, sorting is based on the earliest known translation (most recent one at the top), which in most cases has (approximately) the same effect.

@LAbare

being able to vote for a translation

Added to v.94:

• Approve existing translation: If the translation field was already filled in with somebody else’s translation, use this button to approve/upvote it. Approving reinforces the validity of the translation and helps it rise above other low-quality translations in the rankings.

use this button to approve/upvote it

StackOverflow much?

@LAbare

but we can’t see if the current translation is a NBSP or a simple space

Non-breaking space is now shown as an empty quite square □

Fixed in v.95

@LAbare

(pp. 171/172, about regional stores)

I can’t fix these sadly, like constellation and star-system names, they are kind of hard-wired.

@LAbare

Written dates in mission names don’t fit the French format

I can’t change this either

[PATTARY]

how to open this screen?

[Pidgey]

Press CTRL + T while in-game, then select your language from the list

[PATTARY]

how to cancel it? after do it

[Pidgey]

If you want to go back to English, you have to completely close the game and reopen it.

[PATTARY]

ok yes

[InterAction_studios]

@PATTARY

how to cancel it? after do it

There’s a way:

@InterAction_studios

[when viewing translation screen] Alternatively, press Ctrl+E to revert to English

I managed to work around this after some thought. For other languages that need the order reversed, here’s what I did: I translated “dealership” as “– Local dealership”.
Starname dealership → Starname – Concession locale
Starname campus → Starname – Campus local

Mmmh, if it’s a global formatting thing, may I suggest that you put a comma between month and day (October, 26)? That wouldn’t disrupt the original English or any language with the same structure, and it would be much better in French and probably in other languages (octobre, 26).

Thanks!

[PATTARY]

thanks but i hope make translate better because in arabic we write from right to left but in game thers some glitchs ex writing from left to right

[InterAction_studios]

@LAbare

Is there a way we could have a dump of the English strings, either as plain text or as a spreadsheet

Starting with v.95, you can now work via Excel. I’ve added the section WORKING VIA EXCEL to the instructions at the top.

[Francis]

Thank you, this makes it way easier.
