Tkh's Translation Helper program (downloadable)

[tkh]

Look at this guide written by @Wiese2007, I think it’s still valid with the current releases.

First Steps for Translation

At first get this programs/files: sublime text - https://www.sublimetext.com/ tkh´s translation helper - Tkh's Translation Helper program (downloadable) GitHub - stonehearth/startermod_locale: Example mod of adding a new language to stonehearth. then take the en.json from the stonehearth.smod (its a zip folder and can be opened with winzip etc.). Then make a copy of the taken en.json and rename it to your LCID string format (Language Codes - Sorted by) and translate all with THK translation…

I’m not talking about mods localization files (is allways .json files) but Stonehearth localization files in Stonehearth\locales\ (here are .pak files and I don’t know how to open it)

@Erazil, you don’t need those .pak files for translating. The game IS a mod. So you only need the en.json files, they’re the actual localization files and contain all the strings from the game.

So rename the stonehearth.smod to stonehearth.zip, extract it, and inside you’ll find another locales folder with the en.json file.

Not sure if we need those .pak, they seem to be dated from 2017, they might not be used anywhere, unless the i18n framework that we use needs them I’ll have to ask.

Oh ok thx for the explain, i have buy the game the November 27, 2013 and i don’t remember have see the pak files, by discovering them when I returned to stonehearth (after several years of patience;)) I asked myself a lot of questions… apparently too many questions since the solution was much easier :).

Thanks to both of you for the time you took to help me with my stupid question ;).

[tkh]

No problem, hope you’ll get it working now

[Wiese2007]

[Erazil]

Hey @tkh I saw in your video showcase that you almost finished the Swedish translation. I’m working on the Swedish translation for the ACE project and it would be grand to have the base game nailed already.

[tkh]

Hey! To be honest, I thought I was on good pace with the base game but I never got around to finish it at that time. Later I tried to pick it up but noticed the huge amount of new things to translate, and in addition to that SO much of the original work was changed (mostly minor changes, but still).

Invited you to the Swedish translation discussion group, let’s talk there instead.
