[LNJ]

Can i help to translate it to Russian?

Of course! Please help me. (I can't speak ALL languages :D)

You can open a pull request on GitHub. (or alternatively, if you don't know how to use git, you can give me the .po file on other ways).

If you have any questions, ask! :)


PS: Sorry for the late answer..

That would be nice! :)


@all If you have any questions about how you can translate, please ask!

You can also pull the translations out of vortoj, no need to do the work twice.

Ah, I didn't know that something as this already exists. But I need to find a way to convert the old translation files to the new gettext files.

But I need to find a way to convert the old translation files to the new gettext files.

I did such conversion for smart_inventory group texts only a few days ago using my qa_block mod (to call any lua code) viewtopic.php?t=15759 and a small script: (modified to match vortoj, untested, maybe some adjustments required to get it working.)

Code: Select all

local filename = minetest.get_worldpath().."/en.po"
local vortoj = dofile(minetest.get_modpath("vortoj").."/EN.lua")
local file = io.open(filename, "w")

for _,item in ipairs(vortoj) do
	file:write('msgid "'..item[1]..'"\n')
	file:write('msgstr "'..item[2]..'"\n')
	file:write('\n')
end
file:close()

Ah, that's great! Thank you.

But I can only use the translations if the license is at least LGPL (currently it's GPLv3).

[Casimir]

m( (That's a facepalm) My mistake. I should have had the data licenced separate under the public domain. However, I'm not sure if one can licence translation strings anyway. Someone should research this. (Not me, I'm going to bed now.)

v2017.05.10:

• Translated new (German) strings from MTG
• Fixed dependency problems (pbj_pup)

[azekill_DIABLO]

Latest changes:

• victorenator translated to Belarusian
• MineYosh translated to Spanish
• monolifed translated to Turkish
• MuhdNurHidayat translated to Malay
• Wuzzy improved the German translations

[LNJ]

Latest changes:

• I converted some translations from vortoj (by Casimir) and added them:
• Added French locale from vortoj (translated by Casimir)
• Added Indonesian locale from vortoj (translated by Muhammad Rifqi Priyo Susanto)
• Added Italian locale from vortoj (translated by Enki)
• Added Japanese locale from vortoj (translated by Rui)

But as you can see on Weblate the new languages aren't in a good state anymore, so it would be very nice if you could help completing them again (anyone can help on Weblate).

[LNJ]

Latest changes:

• Added complete Esperanto locale by yellowcrash10
• Added complete Polish translations by jimi15 and Mateusz Mendel
• Added Serbian locale by lisacvuk
• Improved Japanese translations by Rui
• Improved Turkish translations by monolifed
• Improved Indonesian translations by Muhammad Rifqi Priyo Susanto

[Andrey01]

I know Internationalization Library mod has already existed (by kaeza). I can translate item descriptions to Russian in ru.po file. What do i need to do first?

I can translate item descriptions to Russian in ru.po file. What do i need to do first?

You can translate the descriptions online or offline.

Online:
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/min ... g_i18n/ru/

Offline:
../mtg_i18n/locale/ru.po

Edit ru.po using a text editor, or better, using PoEdit:

An update for 5.0?

An update for 5.0?

I fork to make a version with the 5.0.
But I think the basic project was not going in that direction.
The translation with minetest API does not use file POs.
