Translate Ultrastar Deluxe
We are always keen to see how much UltraStar Deluxe spreads all over the world, with users from all over the world it's also important to speak their languages too. To achieve this we need your help, so if there is no file available for your language yet just take the English one (or any other that is finished) and start to translate it. Don't worry about the length, if you don't want to do the whole translation, then just do as much as you can - hopefully someone else might pick it up and finishes it.
The basics
- We are aware that some characters won't show up as intended, that's due the fact that we're still working on UTF-8 implementation. Share that translation with us anyways, we will definitely include it into the release as soon we are able to display it correctly
- Fetch a translation you understand and that is already finished (if you're unsure take the English one)
- You only have to edit the text on the right of the equal mark
- Don't hesitate to fix typos or to rewrite already done translations, if you find a better word for something just change it
- Try it at least once, make sure your translated texts fit into the buttons and don't outrun the screen
- We would like to name the translators ( you! :D ) when we do a release, so make sure to add your name like explained beneath
;YourName here ;YourName here too, if you fixed typos or did something else [Text] SING_LOADING=Loading... ..
Special Case - The statistic wild cards
For the statistics screen we've used wild cards, these are necessary to display data within a translated text.
Example from the english.ini:
STAT_OVERVIEW_SONG=%0:d Songs(%3:d with Video), whereof %1:d already were played and %2:d were not played yet.\n The most popular Song is %5:s from %4:s.
Will show up as following within UltraStar Deluxe:
1337 Songs(42 with Video), whereof 23 already were played and 1314 were not played yet. The most popular Song is Northern Star from Steven Dunston.
You should also know that you can format the output:
%x:[.y]z
x is the number of the wild card
y is optional controls the number of digits for decimal numbers - So if y is 2, and the number is a value between 0 and 9 a leading zero will be added
z can be d for numbers and s for texts
For the date in STAT_OVERVIEW_INTRO you may use %1:.2d for the day and %2:.2d for the month.
