          @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.

              @darknior said in EmulationStation localization (translation):

              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_MESSAGES

              @darknior Hi, i'm stuck as @nofxman , working fine when i manually launch ES with LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation
              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. Aborted

              Any 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 default emulationstation program execution with the line above.

                  @harioh You also need to copy the entire "resources" directory to /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

                      @harioh Excellent! If you want to change some translation, you need to recompile. The .po is compiled into a .mo that's used by the app at runtime.

                            @heloisa Woaw cool :)
                            So bad we can't pull request it or open an issue on the @Flyinghead GIT.
                            Watch on the git where is the french file and make same for your file. Think your system must be in Portugese too, because this ES use it to choose the language.

                              @heloisa You should be able to create a pull request on my fork. I also added the Issues list.
                              Or if you post your translation file here, I will commit it to the repository.

                                Will you continue to update your branch ? You don't do it from the 20 may.
                                It 's to have the GRID VIEW updates, i will try to add this view to my skin ;)

                                  Done. I haven't been able to test the new grid mode though.

                                    @flyinghead Why don't you share your modifications with the community by sending pull requests to RetroPie's repository ? Not just talking about localization, you seems to have made other modifications to emulation station.

                                      @a12c4 Yes other modifications are interesting, i think it is a good idea too :)
                                      But for translation the community don't want to use this code :(

                                      @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.

                                      I really wish some one will do it on officiel branch because it is one of the advantage of Recalbox, the localisation, but i don't like it.
