Hello!!!
I'm back in localization of Dwarf Fortress to
Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR).
I'm using Transifex that @insolor have created and start make a tool in Java to translate plain texts (*.txt). Starting from easy way.
Maybe continue with compressed texts and hardcoded texts. If I understand how to do this.
I created a project in GitHub and the First Release is out.
https://github.com/TioFuna/DFLocalizationTool/releasesSome Instructions:- Pick file 'Dwarf Fortress.exe' to find path base.
- Program will create a folder 'Localization' in path base. All the stuff will be there.
- To Translate, put in folder 'Translation' the PO Files, like downloaded from Transifex (only plain texts)
- localized files will be in folder 'Localized', just copy and paste to path base and/or saved games
- recommended make backups before copy/paste
- To create PO Files, if necessary (@insolor have made yet) to update Transifex.
- put on folder 'PO' the original file names that want get words/lines to be translated
- this action will result in a Plain Text with coded texts, in same folder
Please, send comments and report issues.
For more languages and code pages, send me a message to include them.
Next steps: - Write a readme with instructions.
- Continue translate in Transifex.
- Try include translations with compressed texts and hardcoded texts
Ps1: I'm not a fluent english, I do my best. So, if you find any error, please let me know.
Ps2: I'm starting programming Java and using github, same here, helps are welcome.
