[Feature Request] Translation - Localization

Post by xan2622 »

Hi

I volunteer to help translate the game in french, if you allow this kind of contribution.

I am (almost) sure other players will want to contribute to this community-based project (the translation of the game) for other languages.
IE: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3712301&mpage=1&key=translation�

I noticed that aircrafts & ships descriptions are stored in .txt files in the \Command - Modern Operations\DB\Descriptions\ folder (so those are quite easily translatable).
But, I couldn't find the location of the words/strings that the interface is made of (menus, options, etc). Does someone have an idea? Are those hardcoded?

I noticed some .resx files in \Command - Modern Operations\Launcher\Localization\
And thanks to this software : https://github.com/tom-englert/ResXResourceManager it's possible to translate words/sentenses stored in these .resx files.
It would be cool if the UI strings were also available as a .resx file ^^

Please allow/let your players help you translate the game.

Most UI text is going to be hardcoded labels and controls with no externalized fields to make easy changes.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!

Hence this request: asking to un-hardcode most of the game strings/words and asking for their official agreement to translate the game.

I understand that it might not be an easy task but that would be cool to have the game available in other languages.
