Multilingual Oolite

[Commander McLane]

game-paused is there, and is in fact localizable in 1.65 too.

Oh, indeed! Must have overlooked it.

@ another_commander: Could you merge the changes you made in order to introduce weapon_name_constant into the trunk? Thank you!

Starting with 1.72, currency values will pass through a single function for normalized display. In 1.71.1, in order to avoid introducing new bugs, the currency formatting issues for PowerPC systems will be worked around in a simpler way. This means two new sets of strings, yay. On the other hand, it also means any future change to currency formatting will be done in a single place.

I also noticed that the Italian OXP overrides shipdata.plist with, in some cases, old values. This will probably be fixed by introducing a shipdata-overrides.plist whose values are merged in instead of replacing entries.

[Commander McLane]

Okay, so it's basically re-naming and re-naming again.

I'll try to keep track with the concurring Oolite version. Although I'm by no means sure that deutschesOolite.oxp will be out before 1.71.1 (and I don't even make any promise in regard to 1.72).

[JensAyton]

Part of the point of using different keys for each variant is that it makes it possible to make one OXP that translates all three versions. (It also avoids potential crashes, which is nice.)

[Commander McLane]

... which means I should actually not delete anthing, but let the differently named keys peacefully live together in descriptions.plist, right?

[JensAyton]

Yeah, I’d suggest just commenting the obsolete ones and deleting them for the MNSR version.

[another_commander]

@ another_commander: Could you merge the changes you made in order to introduce weapon_name_constant into the trunk? Thank you!

The key weapon_name_constant was removed, but the game is already capable of doing what you want. The current key to ignore lowercase string conversion instructions by the engine is the boolean type lowercase_ignore. Right now it works for passenger species descriptions in the contracts screen and weapons descriptions in the shipyard. You can use it as shown below and the appropriate descriptions will be capitalized the way you want them.

Code: Select all

lowercase_ignore = yes;

[Commander McLane]

Thanks, also for the PM!

Already done it, and it works.

[TGHC]

Yeah, I’d suggest just commenting the obsolete ones and deleting them for the MNSR version.

Acronym Definition
MNSR = Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (China)

are they developing some sort of Qmine?

[Captain Hesperus]

That's a scary thought.

I'm sure we could come up with a lot of alternative acronym definitions.

But in our context it's the Mythical Next Stable Release, whose version number only the gods (and perhaps the Witchspace Lobster, although I wouldn't guarantee that ) know.

[Commander McLane]

@ Ahruman: Shouldn't these:

Code: Select all

    "passenger-delivered-okay-@-llu-@"  = "%@ thanks you, and pays you %lld ₢ for delivering them to %@.";
    "passenger-delivered-late-@-llu-@"  = "%@ pays you %lld ₢ for eventually delivering them to %@.";

both have "%llu" instead of "%lld" on the right hand side?

[JensAyton]

Yes, although in practice it won’t make a difference. (Fixed for 1.71.2 anyway.)

[OSH]

Ok. I can volunteer make a Polish version of OOlite. But i I'm not a programmer, only translator...

[DaddyHoggy]

Welcome to the forums OSH.

I'm sure you'll get lots of help creating a Polish version of this fabulous program.
