EmulationStation localization (translation)
-
@Clyde Yeah, you should create a folder inside
lang
with your locale, in this casede_DE
. Inside this folder create aLC_MESSAGES
folder and then copyemulationstation2.pot
in it, changing the extension to.po

@heloisa I tweaked a little bit your Spanish translations, I hope you don't mind. I wanted to ask you, what kind of Spanish were you targeting? Meaning, Spanish from Spain or from a central/south America country? Because my changes were targeted to Spanish from Spain.
Anyway, in any case, the locale must be specified. If it's Spanish from Spain, then it should be
es_ES
.Here's a list of all the locales https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3191664/list-of-all-locales-and-their-short-codes

I would like to ask the room, but especially @Flyinghead , as the author and maintainer , why are we using underscore for the locales? I've found that the "standard" seems to be to use a dash.
es_ES
->es-ES
.Should we change it?
EDIT:
It's settled. Linux uses underscore. We are fine then :)

@wakaya @hiulit Thank you for the advice, I'll look into it until next weekend, when I will have the time.

Which standard? Linux for example uses the underscore for its locales.

@Clyde You are welcome! I'll try to update de README with instructions on how to translate.
About the locale "issue", it's settled then! If Linux uses underscore, that's it. :)

@wakaya The credits are yours, thanks again.

@hiulit Some people are collaborating with the translation. So I do not know if all the mistakes are mine. Spanish is from Spain. But you can fix it without problems. I don't know much use github, can you change the location to es_ES? Thank you
-
@heloisa Understood :)
-
@heloisa Ok, then I'll take a better look at the Spanish translations and I'll add the
es_ES
;) -
