Title: How to contribute
Post by: Tynan on April 11, 2014, 09:43:08 AM
This page has info on how people can contribute to the fan-made RimWorld translations. Thank you very much for taking an interest!

How it works: We keep the translations on a popular public collaboration website called GitHub, on the Ludeon GitHub page (https://github.com/Ludeon). GitHub works through a program called Git, which is used to manage repositories of data. Git tracks each change made to the repository, so you can see what's changed, when it changed, and what was there before. It makes it easy to understand who has done what, and remove mistakes.

When Ludeon releases a new version of the game, we pull all the data from the GitHub repositories for each language and include it with the main game. So any translation work you do will be available to everyone as soon as the game is updated.

IMPORTANT LICENSE INFO: These projects are officially-supported fan translations of RimWorld. Ludeon may include content derived from these projects in official releases of RimWorld without owing money or credit to anyone (though you can put your credits into your translations info and will appear in the main game's credits listing). By contributing to these projects you agree to give Ludeon a nonexclusive transferable perpetual worldwide license to use your contributed content in any way in any product, with or without credits, without any compensation except for the satisfaction of the work and community. If your content is in any of these repos and you don't wish these terms to apply to you, contact me immediately at [email protected].

How to contribute

Useful info:

There's a English translation available here for reference. This has all the game data in it, in English, ready to be translated to other languages. You can copy the XML over and translate it in-place. Link to English translation on GitHub (https://git.io/vD8Cj). Thanks to forum user duduluu for maintaining it.

Duduluu also created a translation tool called RimTrans (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=30949.0).

Core language files are stored in (GameFolder)/Data/Core/Languages. The original English data is in (GameFolder)/Data/Core/Languages/English.

Metadata: Translations have metadata that gives them a name and flag.
--- Create a FriendlyName.txt which contains the name of your language in your language (e.g. Italiano not Italian).
--- Create a flag image in PNG format, 128x64 pixels, called LangIcon.png. See other languages for reference.

There are four kinds of translation in RimWorld:

To translate DefInjected stuff, you'll have to look through the various defs in (GameFolder)/Mods/Core/Defs and create translations for each field of each def that you want to change in your language. The basic format is <defName.fieldName>, where defName is the defName of the def you want to inject into, and fieldName is the name of the field. So, for example, if you want to modify the label of wood, you'd write <Wood.label>Bois</Wood.label>. This would change the label of wood to "Bois". For more complex structures like lists, there are other formats to use described here (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=41942.0).

Be sure to save your translation files with UTF-8 encoding, or special characters won't show up properly in-game.

Do not leave copies of game data in your translation repo. We don't want to ship a bunch of copies of useless game data, and it will produce errors when the translation is used in-game.

To help with updating translations, translator WMP wrote a tool that finds the difference between two translations. Run it with another more mature translation (or with the English data) and it can show you what tags you still need to translate. Find it here (https://github.com/WMP/RimWorld-translatescript).

I found out that french translation file in the Core Mod and just correct it a bit.

I'd really like to help translate the full game into french.

Hello there, french fan here.
So i've been working on the french translation all evening, and I've done some pretty good progress. Most of the menus are translated. ;)
I still have to do all the defs, which is quite of work, but i'll manage doing it... ;)
Not sure what is the use of getting in the test team ?
Any way, i'll post my work in a topic in this section when it's done !

i would like to do translation to 'Dutch' (Nederlands)

I would need to get the files where i can do the translations on...

Well, that's it, there is my first shot... Still have a bunch of questions to be answered to have a fully working translation, but that's quite a good start for those french guys ;)

I would advise you to get the game in a legal way.
Than we can talk about adding you to the team where all the files are available.

I got the game now! Somebody on this forum sende me a PM and after some talking he gave me the money on my new paypall account. (I won't tell his/her name in public so the person wil not be burried in request for money).
I already started on translations to dutch.

Tynan, since the UpdateNonEnglishTranslations.bat in the latest test version has targeted to AlyxMS/RimWorld-cn, there is no sense I should keep updating the RWTP repo.
All the other RWTP projects aside from sk and ru are already deleted, and I don't have permission to delete it by myself, can you delete the zh-CN in RWTP? Thanks.
I'll keep working on the RimWorld-cn repo.

Sounds good, I will delete it.

I thought I sent you a message a couple days ago asking you to switch to your personal repo :P Must have missed it.

General question (if already answered, just point me there!):

When a new release comes out that has some new things that need to be translated - or changes in existing text - how does one spot these changes/additions in need of translation to an already existing language? I.e. how does one get a "diff", like on the wiki page?
Title: Re: Official translation projects

U need to take files from old release and compare it with new release.

I've missed the 0.460 tester release and the translation included in Alpha 4 is for 0.441.
It's not a big problem since the only problem is 2 lines are left untranslated.

Would you update the Chinese translation in the next Alpha 4 update? (like Alpha 4B?)
I've posted it on Github.

Thanks.
Title: Re: Official translation projects
Post by: Tynan on June 02, 2014, 08:10:39 AM
I'm hoping there won't be an Alpha4b, so it may just wait until Alpha5. It's okay if two lines are missing, no big deal.

Looks like we'll have some good time on A5 so I'll try to get that fixed for you.

and i hope to see that fixed :)

Yes, unfortunately we discovered the Unity doesn't actually support Arabic properly. I had assumed it was readable - the Arabic translators didn't even say something was wrong until like last week!

We're looking at solutions to this.

Hello everyone,

I have bought this game recently and I am very much in love with it and I would really like to contribute to the translation process.
I would like to help out with the German translation, but before I send an E-Mail I figured I'll ask first, since German might be covered well enough already, probably by far more experienced people.
I'd like to point out I only have very basic knowledge of git and never used GitHub before and this would be my first try in translating. But that is just how much I enjoy RimWorld, made me immediately wanna help :).

After messing around with translation for a bit I have some things to say:

1. Corpse labels are untranslatable.
When I click on a dead body of a wild boar the name is correct: "Villisika (kuollut)". That said, when I click on the I-symbol there are untranslated entries there. It says "Wild boar" in the title of the window and "wild boar ruumis" in the description of the object.

2. I made templates for all the DefInjected's.
I converted all the labels in Def's to translate-ready DefInjected's so that translating them would be as easy as translating Keyed's.
https://github.com/Sakuukuli/RimWorld-Templates
You can do with it as you please.

3. Shouldn't it be cryosleep and not cryptosleep?
Title: Re: Official translation projects
Post by: darktakayanagi on October 09, 2014, 03:24:55 PM
Is there a way to make the translated text smaller if it gets outside of a box/button?
the english text fits fine but for other languages it might go outside of the box/button border, is it the only optionfor translators to try and change the wording or it can be easily fixed code wise?

i've attached an image with the problem (red box around the issue).

1. Hmm, it seems like one of the many little untranslatable things. Hope it doesn't drive you mad; there are a number of tiny issues like this for now.

2. Cool!

3. It's cryptosleep.

Post by: Latta on January 31, 2015, 02:56:01 PM
Tynan, is there any way to assign a font to a specific language? Because Korean Windows always try to use weird default font when trying to use english-specific font.

OR, at least, specify font sizes to be a bit smaller?
I posted a screenshot of one of 'New colony' screen. It's not alphabetical so you may not notice, but those subtitle(headline?) texts have cropped out of its upper side. Will it require a separate dll-mod like EdB's Interface Mod, or it's just impossible on my level because fonts are too core level?

Title: Re: Official translation projects
Post by: Tynan on January 31, 2015, 05:23:34 PM
Fonts are big files, so I can't ship separate fonts for each language.

Next build will have a new font for everything, so hopefully that will fix some of that.

Can you be specific about where text is cut off for you? Screenshots with red circles are best. I can't actually read the text here and know what it's supposed to say :p

Sorry!

(http://i797.photobucket.com/albums/yy260/urty5656/screenshot20.jpg)
It's a character creation window. Background Story, Incapables, Traits and Abilities are the big ones; Construction, Growing and other dropped words are the small ones.

Big ones are cropped out by about 2 pixels, small ones are by like 2.5 pixels? Something close to that.
Title: Re: Official translation projects
Post by: Tynan on February 01, 2015, 10:01:18 PM
It happens because Korean seems to be set to never print small. Is it possible read Korean characters smaller than that or will I need to provide enough vertical space everywhere for this size?

Smaller sizes should have no problem IMO.

Hi, Tynan!
We got stuck translating the new sentence generator (this is a hell of a job, btw. English is very merciful to such a sort of substitutions, compared to Russian). But that's beside the point.

I was wondering if a number of substitutions is determined dynamically. In other words, should we have exactly the same number of synonyms for a substitution as you have in the English original?

Thanks!

My mother language is French, so I can help actual French traductors.

Title: Australian Translation, maybe?
Post by: DarkestLight on November 17, 2015, 06:18:36 AM
Hi, hi. Newbie here. Oh I just thought of an idea. You know how some games put a twist on the languages...? if not well... I remember some games would do one for Australian's :P

If I may, I would love to switch it around because I'm a true blue aussie, haha.
Ain't that ironic, eh?

Well, if not... I'll probably do it anyway for myself to enjoy.  ;D

Edit: I've changed Female to shelia and male to bloke, bed to swag, allies to mates, enemies to... (can't remember lol) etc.

You have to go to (RimWorld folder) > Mods > Core > Languages > English

thats how ive been translating to portuguese, if thats not the right way, I think its an alternative way, because i've never found a folder called "en-US"

It can't be...
In the (RimWorld folder) > Mods > Core > Languages > English folder I have 64 files inside 8 folders while in (RimWorld folder) > Mods > Core > Languages > Italian I have more than 5.000 inside more than 1200 folders.

English folder seems likely a default one, not the one used by the games

Your folder Mods > Core > Languages > English is correct. You just can't take that as the translation source, as it only contains a few examples, not the full set. English has no complete translation folder, as it doesn't need translation.
This makes it for us translators a lot harder, as you need to find out what must be translated but it is as it is.
You can take another folder as a source to see what you need to translate in principle, even if you can't read what's written there.
I'm responsible for german and can say that These files are as far as I know up to date.
But I know that it's hard to read it, if you don't know german...

Inside (RimWorld folder) > Mods > Core > Defs there are, kind, all the files that are in the other translations

even tho, inside Italians translations there are some differences compared to it

In the translations there's a single file and inside the file are defined different biomes

Title: Re: Official translation projects
Post by: Haplo on August 03, 2016, 11:12:58 AM
Yes, that looks to be correct.. But, sorry was there a question that I missed?


If you want to ask why the files are different, that is because in the Core -> Defs -> xxx folders are the full Def-files with all the infos that RimWorld needs to create the objects. Where in Core -> Languages -> xxx -> DefInjected -> xxx folders are only the informations about where the translation strings can be found.

Example Core -> Defs -> BiomeDefs -> Biomes_Arid.xml:

  <BiomeDef>
    <defName>AridShrubland</defName>
    <label>arid shrubland</label>
    <description>A dry region, but not dry enough to become a true desert. Open plains with grasses and bushes give way to scattered groves of trees. Plants are hardy and there is a moderate density of animals.</description>
    <workerClass>BiomeWorker_AridShrubland</workerClass>
    <animalDensity>4.0</animalDensity>
    <plantDensity>0.5</plantDensity>
    <baseColor>(125,101,78)</baseColor>


This part contains three important informations that you need: The defName, the string label and the string description.

So the translation file needs this information seperated by a .
(I've taken an extract from the german translation file as an example here :) )

  <AridShrubland.label>Savanne</AridShrubland.label>
  <AridShrubland.description>Eine trockene Gegend, aber nicht trocken genug für ...</AridShrubland.description>


Is this clear so far? Or do you have any more questions about it?


For if you're asking why your translations are all in one single file:
It may be that it is from an old alpha version and the structure was changed, or it just was translated like that. The file structure isn't really relevant, the info inside the file is more important. But for example I try to build my structure according to the Core files too. I also split up my files if the core files are split up. Not because it is needed, but because it makes it easier to see where what can be found.


Hopefully this clarifies it a bit? I know that the translation isn't easy... I also know that you'll later on find some more complicated pitfalls, but this is a basic introduction if you want ;)

You only need these lines for beer:
<Beer.label>beer</Beer.label>
<Beer.description>The first beverage besides water ever consumed by mankind. Beer can taste good, but its main effect is intoxication. Excessive consumption can lead to alcohol addiction.</Beer.description>
<Beer.ingestible.ingestCommandString>Drink {0}</Beer.ingestible.ingestCommandString>
<Beer.ingestible.ingestReportString>Drinking {0}.</Beer.ingestible.ingestReportString>

You can check other languages for ideas.

I have a better question. Some drugs don't have specific ingestCommandString and ingestReportString. In these cases the game falls back to base definition. Looks like this:

<ThingDef Name="MakeableDrugPillBase" ParentName="MakeableDrugBase" Abstract="True">
    <ingestible>
      <foodType>Processed</foodType>
      <baseIngestTicks>120</baseIngestTicks>
      <chairSearchRadius>0</chairSearchRadius>
      <ingestSound>Ingest_Pill</ingestSound>
      <ingestHoldUsesTable>false</ingestHoldUsesTable>
      <ingestCommandString>Take {0}</ingestCommandString>
      <ingestReportString>Taking {0}.</ingestReportString>
    </ingestible>
  </ThingDef>

There is no <defName> tag here, how to handle these?

UPDATE: You do it exactly the same as others. Like: <Amphetamine.ingestible.ingestCommandString>

Yes that is something that makes it harder this time to translate it:

If you take a look into the file Alcohol_Beer.xml you'll find that
<Beer.label> / <Beer.description> are part of the ThingDef for Beer.
This means you must place this translation inside the ThingDef folder in your translations.
Same for Wort..

Next there is <AlcoholHigh.label>, <AlcoholHigh.stages.0.label>, ...
These are actual HediffDefs and need to be inside a file in the folder HediffDef.

Next we have ThoughtDef, ChemicalDef and NeedDef to be extracted and placed in their corresponding folder..

But it really suck, that I spent 3 days to figure that out.

It'll be very cool, if devs at least makes a post on how localisation mechanics works. And it'll be VERY VERY nice, if they improve the mechanic, so that translators can clearly understand, where the game takes a particular translation. For now localisation process is a mess.

    <skillLabel>Crafting</skillLabel>

But game also use <Crafting.label> tag in-game (see attachment). Same for other skills.

It would be nice to have a EN-US Github repo, so when you change tags like <Load> to <LoadGame> we can fetch into your changes and maintain our translations without having to check the game on every translation to see what is broken.

OBS: Checking is also necessary and have to be done, but this will speed up the translation and give us some basis not to break the translation ingame on every EN-US update.

Definitely! French just got a bunch of new grammar functionality that needs to be integrated e.g. instead of writing un(e) the game can now resolve un/une based on the gender of what it refers to - but the translations need to be adjusted to make this work. It even works for gendered adjectives like bleu/bleue or beau/belle. Please just follow the steps in the first post of this thread.

Hi there!

Any plans to make collaboration easier? I would recommend Crowdin for the following reasons:

1) Crowdin is often used for games localization, it can handle any file type and prevents any bugs in translation (e.g. broken tags). Please see public projects: https://crowdin.com/projects#showcases/games

2) We do have a GitHub integration, it will be easy to setup an agile localization process. Translators will translate and translations will automatically go to GitHub repo (it will be enough to have a single repo, not repo per language);

3) Since the recent time, we are contacted more and more often by RimWorld community who wish to translate the game using Crowdin (but into the specific language only)

Let's try setting up a perfect localization flow together, will gladly assist since we're all gamers ourselves in Crowdin :)

Feel free to contact me directly, I'm looking forward to continue this conversation

What really bothered me but I am not skilled enough to fix it myself: The german translation for "neck" ingame is "Nacken", which is actually the nape and not the throat. Can someone PLEASE fix this to the correct translation of "Hals"? And if it was meant to be the "neck", please change it to "Genick".
Thank you!!!

Hi, I´d love to help with the spanish translation but unfortunately I´m stuck on step 4 lol. Is there something more noob friendly like an excel? Is it possible to just edit my language gamefiles and uploading them?

Hello,
after looking for "notifications" on this forum (translation) without results, I allow myself to post here without knowing if it is the right place. Indeed I noticed a bug in the French translation, the notifications overlap themselves, so I wonder if it is possible to solve this problem by shortening the texts displayed with "..." and see them entirely at mouse over the notification.
Here is an example of the bug:

Rimworld brings together all that I expect from a game, I still discover things after + 700 hours of play, and the mods deepen it even more! So it's up to me to thank you for your wonderful work and that of the community of course :D

Hi,
the french team needs a definition of "glitterworld" please. I don't know if this is the place to post it. We need a precise description to best translate it into our language.
Thanks,

buen día tengo un problema, para traducir la descripción del dlc que aparece en la pantalla de inicio, la única forma que encontré fue cambiarle el nombre al juego base(core), ya que en la  carpeta de traducción no aparece el apartado para poder traducir la descripción. psdt: con quien debo comunicarme cuanto termine la traduccion del dlc en ESPAÑOL
==========================
ya lo solucione agregando algo de código

Hi Tynan and everyone, first time poster on the forums. This game is literally the best and I can't stop playing it, haven't been this hooked for at least a decade. But I have some things to say about this translation process, which are definitely not malicious in intent, I simply feel that I should speak up about them.
I have a few similar projects under my belt, so I wanted to help with PL translation, because it's unfinished and honestly pretty bad at places. However, after familiarizing myself with the process I lost the drive. I am not a complete newb, I made several mods (for other games), I have a GitHub account and maintain several repositories, but still this is black magic to me. Git? Line commands? Last time I saw a command line was when I installed Windows 95 (okay, exaggerating a little, but not by much).
This process is clearly aimed at strictly IT people, who - excuse me - rarely have the linguistic competences to make a half-decent translation (though of course some do). That's fine, we all specialize in different areas. But this is just not the right process to produce good translations, as evidenced by reality (both in terms of interest and resulting quality).
I really don't understand why we can't use Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/) or some other service which doesn't require haxxor skillz (which are obviously not highly correlated with writing skills). Yes, I could spend time on learning the ropes, given enough time; but I'm not going to spend time on this when I want to contribute in a way I already can. I imagine competent translators in general largely feel the same. I've already bought the game and the expansion, and I want to help with its development for free on top of that, so I expect some minimal effort in facilitating this, not to be treated like a junior employee who needs to learn the company tools.
Sorry if this comes as overly harsh, I certainly don't mean any disrespect, but I feel that these things need to be said. It's not about me, I love Rimworld (or more accurately, I'm totally obsessed with it), and I'm 100% fine with not having a localization for it myself. But I honestly think, and I'm speaking from experience with other projects, that the barrier to contribute is way too high, so it discourages people who would be most valuable for writing - not because they're stupid, but because they aren't interested in mastering Git and will choose some other translating project instead.

For Turkish language translation, I sent a lot of translations related to the beginning and tasks, can you check it? No progress for 2 years.

Can I designate specific fonts for Japanese languages?
Since both Chinese and Japanese uses Chinese charactars, the designs of some Chinese charactars with same Unicode codes differ in languages, such as 「所」, 「直」, 「戻」, etc. This causes reading difficulties in Japanese language, since Chinese charactars in the default font were meant to used in Chinese language.

Hello everyone, I was trying to follow the instructions to contribute to the italian  🇮🇹  translation in the Ludeon server, but I am a little bit confused.
Could someone tell me if the italian translation is updated and has a mantainer or is old and the files should be manually placed in the game directory ?

Thanks

Is it possible for users to create new repositories for translation, or are you only allowed to translate into existing repositories?
