Well i added the missing translation tags to the US language file.

because of the chaotic ordering i sorted all strings alphabetically.

here is your sorted, 7000 line long, translation base:

Hello Phelom,

please wait for this PR before you copy the US language file as base for your translation, because i am adding the last missing translation tags to it:
https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/1589
(While adding the german language i also added all missing text-place-holder for translation in all option / menu strings.)

After this PR is merged you have all needed translation tags for your own language file here:

no it wont break voice - if it cant find the localized version of something it defaults to en us - that applies to both string and voice (tbh im not sure if it defaults to the localized version or the default default version which is written in the code itself, but it certainly does default)

yeah, translating is pretty straightforward, but it is an absurd amount of work, you have ~7000 lines there, enjoy : )

You need new folder here https://github.com/FAForever/fa/tree/develop/loc with language shortcut, and inside one file containing all strings. Just check copy paste US and then translate everything inside.
To test it you need to add this line into your game.prefs

Code:: options_overrides = { language = 'FR', }

and ofc replace FR with your own, options_overrides table should already be there, so just search for it and add language line

That should be for for most of the strings, I suggest you to start wit that and get the voice later. (btw. changing this will most probably break voice, since the game will also look for sounds from your language folder but won't find them, so don't be surprised when testing strings

Create a new Language for FA

2016-10-06T04:29:30+02:00

Hi,

I want to create a new language support for the game (translation), i mean the whole game, not a coop mission or a mod

In this project i would like to :
1. Change UI user interface : like buttons, menus, all text of the game UI
2. Create and change the voices : i'll maybe try to find some ppl to help me recording the voices of characters and taunts
3. Translate everything else

If someone has some experience on this, or already tryed to create a language (like russian or chiness) it will be fine helpfull and we can then help each other, also maybe for other languages

Spoiler: show

Thanks
