EmulationStation localization (translation)

heloisa

@harlleysathler @ande-rocha @hiulit
The translation worked, I finally got it with the help of @wakaya

Flyinghead

@heloisa Spanish locale added

Flyinghead

It's becoming hard to track all these locales and updates. @hiulit nicely created a github pull request for the Catalan translation. I would prefer everybody to use this method from now on if possible.

Please help each other on this.
Thanks

heloisa

@Flyinghead I updated the portuguese brazil translation with some corrections. Can you upgrade? Tks

hiulit

@heloisa Nice! Could you post the steps you followed here? Or even better, create a Pull Request on @Flyinghead repository to be added on the README?

heloisa

@hiulit Yes! I'm preparing the file with the step by step

heloisa

@hiulit Done. https://github.com/heloisatech/TranslateES

hiulit

@heloisa Wow! Thanks!! I'll try it as soon as I can!

heloisa

@hiulit You're Welcome. Good luck :)

Yes, I AM interested and willing to help. Retropie en español no estaría mal, especialmente para los teclados de LATAM. Poner comandos sin saber dónde hay teclas como - es molesto.

@Flyinghead
I fixed a few expressions and sent a pull request.
Please merge when you have time.

@heloisa
I'm glad to help you.

@heloisa
Hello.
Please can you tell me what is the correct way to notify , about of some improvements to a Spanish translation?
Example:
NOMBE , correct Word is = NOMBRÉ.
I have more suggestions.

heloisa

@kactius Hello. Thanks for warning me, typing error. Open pull request on my github, or send me email with the improvements. :)

Thanks @heloisa ! It works! :D

I would like to thank @Flyinghead for this fork of EmulationStation and the rest of the people that made localization possible. It's a pity that the RetroPie team doesn't want (that's my understanding) to add this feature to the master branch of RetroPie's EmulationStation fork. It would be really cool.

In the meantime, @Flyinghead , could you update your fork to be at the same level as RetroPie's EmulationStation fork? There has been many new features that the people who also want localization are missing.

Thanks a lot! :)

Btw, @heloisa , why do you need to do the step 3 on your documentation?

Copy the Locale Directory

cp -r locale/lang/fr locale/lang/(Your locale)

I didn't use it and I got it working anyway.

heloisa

@hiulit :) Good thing it worked, you're welcome.

heloisa

@hiulit I couldn't translate without. I'll try again without step 3. Tks

hiulit

Does anybody know who did the Italian and French translations?

Questions for @Flyinghead :

Is the .gitignore that I see in some LC_MESSAGES folders necessary?
Shouldn't we agree on the first part of the *.po file?

msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: retropie-emulationstation\n"
"Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: 2019-02-06 10:58+0100\n"
"Last-Translator: hiulit \n"
"Language: ca_ES\n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
"Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n > 1);\n"

Is this the correct version? What should/n't be on it?

Thanks!
