Translation in German

[Bomber]

Hi,
i would like to make a translation for the german language. LeSangliers thread explains how to get the english source files. Am i able to edit the files directly on my android phone in "values-de" and if so, where are the language files located on the phones file system? If this is not possible, how can i test my translated strings?

Thanks for your help!

UPDATE: At this position i'll post the latest files!

Completed:
strings.xml, based on v0.6.9
itemlist.xml, based on v0.6.9
content_questlist.xml, based on v0.6.11 (r221)

Work in progress:
content_conversationlist.xml
[=====================================================================================================] (8/101)

Please send me a PN if you want to help to translate this huge file. You'll get back the code of a conversation list to translate then. Thanks for your help!

Code repository:
Original (english) language files
German translation files included in Oskar's build

Hello,

For testing my translation, I built the source code and uploaded the binaries (.pak) on my phone.
See here how to compile the source code : http://andors.techby2guys.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=293

My french is not very well, but i'll give it a try...

Well, if i think about it a bit, i only know one french word: merci!

You can use Google Translator. It worked well to turn it into English.

Hi,
here comes my first version of strings.xml. Download it: strings.xml.

Please note, that this version is untested. I will test it as soon as i am able to compile the source code...

Hi, here comes my first version of strings.xml.

Looks great, thanks Bomber! Your translation is now commited in r88.

Let me know if you indend to translate the other resourcefiles, and if you need any help with that. You probably saw the translation howto I wrote earlier.

Thanks again!

I have made some updates and corrections to the strings.xml.
I also don't know if the game title should be "Andor's Spur" or something else in German. So I made a poll here: Poll.

Hope you can understand the corrections, bomber. Sometimes its really though to decide what sound, suits or fits better.
I decided to change "Aufträge" and "Stufe" to "Quests" and "Level" although its English. (IMO its better, also many other games use "Quests" and "Level" instead of something else.)
I also used "HP" and "Lebenspunkte" instead of "GP" and "Gesundheit". For other changes see some merge tool.

Update: The game name was updated to "Andor's Trail" now. Please redownload the file.

Hi,
here comes a new version of strings.xml. Download it: strings.xml.
UPDATE: Here is the first version of itemlist.xml: itemlist.xml.

It contains most of the suggestions from Samuel (for the abbreviation of "Lebenspunkte" i choose "LP" instead of "HP"). Thanks for your work!

[Samuel]

I did think of the LP instead of HP before too. You are right, perhaps LP is better.

Here are 2 thoughts about strings you changed back.
Just to state my opinion not to force you to use it.

Code: Select all

<string name="levelup_description">Du hast Stufe %1$d erreicht!</string>

IMO it should be: "Du hast Level %1$d erreicht!" (as you didn't change "Level" back to "Stufe" in other places) - Perhaps you only missed this one.

Code: Select all

<string name="heroinfo_char">Statistiken</string>

IMO it should be: "Übersicht" (as its not only about combat statistics but also about level-up and quests)


You did a really great job on the items. The translations look really good.
Had some problems with this 2 items:

Code: Select all

Ring of strike         | Schlagring
Ring of vicious strike | Brutaler Schlagring

"Schlagring" has another meaning in German. But unfortunately I do not have a good idea how to improve.

You're right! I missed the two items. They are now corrected!

...
"Schlagring" has another meaning in German.

I really know this!
But i accepted the different meaning in preference to the bad sound of "Ring des Schlags".
