EmulationStation localization (translation)
-
Try to run it directly from the build directory:
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation -

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation
I try to do it and WOAW it works really fine, so excellent to see ES in french lol
After i close it, copy the LOCALE dir from build directory and now it works fine too.
Your work is really perfect, i really wish it will be add as official on the Es-DEV git.I think it can ba a good idea to add a langage selection in UI SETTINGS to let the user force what he want. But using linux locale LANG by default is really a good idea :)
Will you make a pull request on git ?
-
@flyinghead How can we add other languages?
-
@hiulit I tink by adding some new .po files like here https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation/tree/master/locale/lang/fr/LC_MESSAGES
And change "fr" to "de", "it", "es", "ru" ...
In action :

@flyinghead said in EmulationStation localization (translation):
I used boost::locale for this implementation, although it seems the current trend is to get rid of it.
Really thanks a lot for it :)
But like you write you use BOOST and they try to remove it from ES source code :(
Can you found an other solution to be sure your work will be add to the official ES ?
Thanks -
@darknior how to compile your emulationstation in retropie? Please help me, I do not have great knowledge.
-
@doriann I can't explain all to you, you must know a little linux, git, and ssh.
You must connect your PI with SSH.
Use PI user, go to /home/pi create a /src/ directory
And :git clone --recursive https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation.git
cd EmulationStation
mkdir src
cd src
cmake . .
make
cd ..Launch it with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation
Or replace the real one in /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation
And don't forgot the locale directory. -
@darknior thanks for reply. I'll try to change the language and tell you if I can. Who knows later you do not create a step-by-step tutorial. Thank you very much
-
Hi everybody,
Thanks for the tutorial.
I launch the translation with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation
But if I close Putty, ES returns to English.
I did not understand the last step for ES to stay in French.
Can you explain how to fix it?thank you in advance

@a12c4 I am personally not really interested, but I think this is a really good idea and would be good for many players.
-
@nofxman You only have to replace the original ES file by the new you have compiled.
And add this directory with french files : /tree/master/locale/lang/fr/LC_MESSAGESThanks @Flyinghead to update your fork yesterday ;)
-
it would be nice to choose the language that you want in emulationstation configurations would be huge
-
hi
Yes, I'm interested and I'm willing to help with Catalan translation.
-
nice
-
@neoskyriper He is just answering to my original message, which asked if people were interested if I add official localization support to ES.
Before you ask anything related, I have nothing to do with the unofficial localization support which were posted some messages ago. Ask the author directly if you want some kind of support.
-
@a12c4 Needless to say, I'm interested in having official localization support in ES, and I'm willing to help.

but when i replace emulationstation by my freshly compiled one, i got an error and it won't launch :-(The error :
lvl0: Error - File type unknown! emulationstation: /src/EmulationStation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:17: Font::FontFace::FontFace(ResourceData&&, int): Assertion `!err' failed. AbortedAny idea ?
Can't i just script launch "LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation" ?And a big thank for your job @Flyinghead , i love it ;-)

You can modify the
autostart.sh
script and replace the defaultemulationstation
program execution with the line above. -
@harioh You also need to copy the entire "resources" directory to /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation
