Hi
I found a small issue in the translation files. It is reflected in all languages. See picture.

Hi
we still need this: {x_gender? A : B : C : D} (A Female.txt, B Male.txt, C Neuter.txt, D Plural.txt)

Any chance to add this to the code?

Thank you

Hi

I have a problem with translating all "questnames", is forcibly replacing the first capital letters. I have no idea how I can solve it.

Examples:

Code Select Expand


  <!-- EN:
    <li>questName->monument decree</li>
  -->
  <Decree_BuildMonument.questNameRules.rulesStrings>
    <li>questName->Nařízení výstavby monumentu</li>
  </Decree_BuildMonument.questNameRules.rulesStrings>


Code Select Expand


  <!-- EN:
    <li>questName->[defToProduce_label] production decree</li>
  -->
  <Decree_ProduceItem.questNameRules.rulesStrings>
    <li>questName->Nařízení výroby ([defToProduce_label])</li>
  </Decree_ProduceItem.questNameRules.rulesStrings>

Hi, I found a bug.
Unnecessarily highlighted words. (highlighted time? s, h, d, y)




For now I am solving the problem with Zero-width space (​), but this space is deleted after using translation cleaner tool.


Is there any better solution?

I found a small mistake in the text.

I agree, but Czech is a very, very complex language. I try to make the best possible translation. Shortening does not solve anything, it only decreases the quality of translation.

Yes, Czech language has the same problem.

This issue is already reported here https://ludeon.com/mantis/view.php?id=3630 (row: 20. Blueprint labels are apparently incorrect:).
I'm still waiting for some improvements from this list of translation issues. Is there any progress?

Hi,
sometimes it is impossible to find shorter ways by using synonyms or another expressions. Now, I checked all the translated titles (male and female) in the game by using mod Prepare carefully and found a problem with about 50 titles. I managed to fix about 20 titles, the remaining expressions is impossible to fix. Only three extra letters would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
some phrases <titleFemale> (or <title>) in backstories do not fit in the game UI. Could you move the "Skills" (Dovednosti) table more to the right?

Thank you.

Hi Ison,
I don't know if we understand each other. Maybe, I described it wrong.

I need to improve this:

Our system can easily tell the gender of a pawn, but it can't tell the gender of any other object. This means that if you want to use a gender conditional expression on, for example, items, then you need to provide some lookup tables by creating the following files in your language folder:
WordInfo/Gender/Male.txt
WordInfo/Gender/Female.txt
WordInfo/Gender/Neuter.txt
and add one word per line to each file, e.g.: (Male.txt)

Code Select Expand

sword
computer
keyboard


then if an object whose label is "sword" is passed, its _gender will be male.

This makes it possible to do this:

Code Select Expand

{THING_label} is {THING_gender ? beautiful1 : beautiful2}
where "beautiful" is different based on the THING's gender (which happens in some languages).

{0_gender? A : B } = great for Backstories.xml (used for verbs, adjectives, pronouns (male, female)....etc
{0_gender? A : B : C} = this works great in Keyed folder (primarily for objects) but I can't always use it
{0_gender? A : B : C : D} = I need this for great translation improvements (A Female.txt, B Male.txt, C Neuter.txt, D xxxxx.txt (Plural.txt??))
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example using of {0_gender ? A : B : C : D} for label "flower" (Female.txt):
-- {THING_label} is {THING_gender ? beautiful1 : beautiful2 : beautiful3 : beautiful4}.

Singular form - "flower" (translated to květina) is in the file Female.txt

Code Select Expand


květina //flower
baterie  //battery
židle  //chair
...


Result:
-- Flower is beautiful2.


__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example using of {0_gender ? A : B : C : D} for label "doors" (Plural.txt):
-- {THING_label} is {THING_gender ? beautiful1 : beautiful2 : beautiful3 : beautiful4}.

Plurale tantum form - "doors" (translated to dveře - only plural form in Czech) is in the file Plural.txt

Code Select Expand


dveře //doors
nůžky //scissors
kalhoty //pants
...


Result:
Doors is beautiful4


__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Example using of {0_gender ? A : B : C} for label "dog/cat/pig" (Male.txt/Female.txt/Neuter.txt):
-- {0_label} is {0_gender ? beautiful1 : beautiful2 : beautiful3}.

Result:
-- Dog is beautiful1.
-- Cat is beautiful2.
-- Pig is beautiful3.

I would keep a simple system.
This system will help me many problems.

Thank you.

Hi Ison
The Czech language has three genders. Male, female, neuter. I'm beginning to rework some sentences to sound better. I'm using {0_gender? A: B: C}.
However, I also need to have the D variant like this: {0_gender? A : B : C : D } + added WordInfo/Gender/Plural.txt
(maybe to future customizable like this: {0_gender? A : B : C : D : etc : etc }, only if easy to add)

Code Select Expand

A = Male
B = Female
C = Neuter
D = Plurale tantum/Classic Plural

Plurale tantum - a noun that appears only in the plural form and does not have a singular variant for referring to a single object, (in czech) door, scissors, pants, etc.

Examples:

Code Select Expand

"A {1_label} has been short-circuited in the rain and started a fire."
{1_label} {1_gender ? způsobil : způsobila : způsobilo : způsobily } kvůli dešti zkrat a {1_gender ? začal : začala : začalo : začaly } hořet.

Code Select Expand

"{0} has died because of cold."
{0} kvůli chladu {0_gender ? uhynul : uhynula : uhynulo : uhynuly }.

Please add this to your code. Thank you!

Hello,
this helped greatly for keyed and backstories (thank you Ison), but:
can you implement this also for definjected folders RULEPACK, TALE, INTERACTION?

i need this (for example):

Code Select Expand


original template:
[INITIATOR_nameDef] asked [RECIPIENT_nameDef] to join.

translated:
[INITIATOR_nameDef] se {INITIATOR_gender ? zeptal : zeptala} [RECIPIENT_nameDef], zda se nechce připojit.

thank you

Hello. I tried the clean installation of Rimworld beta 19 on Steam. There was a problem: Some translation files are missing, even though they were available on github (about one month before beta 19 release).

Missing files (in czech translation):

Code Select Expand

Items_Resource_Stuff_Leather.xml
ResearchProjects_1.xml
ResearchProjects_2_Electricity.xml
ResearchProjects_3_Microelectronics.xml
ResearchProjects_4_MultiAnalyzer.xml
lots of customized strings
and some original strings
and much more

I do not know how often the translation files are updated before releasing new versions of Rimworld. Maybe there is a mistake elsewhere.

If possible, i think players will appreciate more frequent updates of translation files.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I'm not sure if adding more customisable words would be the best approach here. Some languages have many pronouns, so remembering all their names could be difficult.

Yes it's true, but what I need is not pronouns but endings of words.

Perhaps something like this would be good:

[PAWN_nameDef] [PAWN_gender ? był : była]

Or, if the language has 3 genders (male, female, neuter) then:

[PAWN_nameDef] [PAWN_gender ? był : była : było]

I need only two variants for Czech (for examples):

[PAWN_gender1]  =   -/-a/-o    (for example - word "was": byl/byla/bylo    or word "could" "mohl/mohla/mohlo"   etc)
[PAWN_gender2]  =  -ý/-á/-é   (for example - word "hungry": hladový/hladová/hladové   etc)
[PAWN_genderx]  =  male/female/neuter

Example for female:

[PAWN_nameDef] was hungry.  =  Kate was hungry.
[PAWN_nameDef] byl[PAWN_gender1] hladov[PAWN_gender2]. = Kate byla hladová.

Thanks

Hi,
is it possible to add more customisable words for grammar.xml file like:

[PAWN_possessive]   ->   its/his/her
[PAWN_pronoun]   ->   it/him/her
[PAWN_objective]   ->   he/she/it

For example:

[PAWN_customword]   ->   x/y/z

I want in Czech for example:

George was   ->   George byl   ->   [PAWN_nameDef] byl[PAWN_customword]
Kate was   ->   Kate byla   ->   [PAWN_nameDef] byl[PAWN_customword]

I think a similar problem is in other languages like Russian, Polish, Slovak, etc.

Thanks
