French traduction / Traduction Français

[jackslayter]

Hi,
somebody have work on French traduction ?
If not I can work on if you can
Developers are interested ?
thank you for your game

[Eric.B]

The game will be translated into french. However there is no work being done on this right now. I still have a few changes to make before giving the game to official translators.

Translation system gets top priority for 1.17, So it is 2-3 months away.

Thank you for play it.

[jackslayter]

ok, so do you want to I help you or not because you have already somebody ?

[Eric.B]

I don't have anyone chosen at this second. It is a bit too early to choose someone.

However, if you want to look at the files unofficially, nearly everything that needs to be translated is in "English.xml" file. You can find it in Steam Applications/GearCity/Localizations

[freeman2344]

You should definitely try to have fans/the community do the translations for you wherever possible. Getting a professional translation done can be a significant expense...I should know, I'm a translator by trade. Feel free to PM me if you need any advice on this subject.

[jackslayter]

I think so is better to begin as soon as possible and add progressively.
So I begin the translation

[jackslayter]

Hi, I don't found the words of suspension/chassis/engine parts like straight for engine, unibody for chassis etc.
where is it ?
thank you

[Eric.B]

These are in the components.xml files, and have not been moved to the localization text yet.

This is one of the reasons I have said the game is not ready for translations yet!

[jackslayter]

once that is done, it is more to do
it remains for me more than RnD error and RnD description and event t finish and after optimized

[jackslayter]

see my translation at 90% not optimized.

Good game !

[Eric.B]

I don't speak french, but it's looking pretty good! In about a month or so when I get the major features of 1.16 implemented, I'll start moving the other text in the game into this file. So you still have a lot more to do!

[jackslayter]

ok no problems for game pretty good like this.

Hi, I update my v1.4 translation to v1.7 but I have 2 problems

  French.xml (Size: 637.71 KB / Downloads: 778)

1) when I click on continue after fill name and choose logo of new game , nothing happens or game crash and when I would end turn game crash, I check log but I don't know there is the problem (in my translation file)
2) the section 'Components.xml Text Goes Here!' doesn't works , I delete original Components.xml file but nothing happens.

thank you

thank you

1) Anytime you have text that saves to the database, use two single quotes '' instead of one '
So d'automobile should be d''automobile

2)Deleting the Components.xml file will cause the game not to work.
How the systems works, inside components.xml if there is a number in place of a name or text description then the word="#" in the translation file will be the text used in that place.

You have to start new games for these changes to take effect.


--------------------------------

Curious if you signed up for our official translation system? I am unable to add new users due to it being broken by Google. But roughly 60% of the game up to 1.16 has been translated. Contributing to that would get it finished faster.

[jackslayter]

no I don't signed up for your official translation system. How do this?

[Eric.B]

no I don't signed up for your official translation system. How do this?

As stated before, the system is currently down. So I am unable to add new translators to it. Waiting on Google to resolve the issue.

[jackslayter]

ok but you have the 1.16 file with 60% ?

[jackslayter]

I replace ' by '' new game works but when I would end turn game crash.

I'm not on a computer where I can test these on. If you could upload the save game file I can take a closer look to see what is incorrect in the DB.


As for the 1.16 file, the file is in po format and has to be 100% completed before I can convert it to xml. As the translations are saved for future use in other versions uploaded to the server.
