EmulationStation localization (translation)

Clyde

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

@hiulit said in EmulationStation localization (translation):

I would like to ask the room, but especially @Flyinghead , as he is 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.

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

hiulit

@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. :)

@hiulit I said that I followed the step by step that the @wakaya taught, here in the forum. I'm just repassing so everyone can translate. Tks :)

heloisa

@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

hiulit

@heloisa Understood :)

hiulit

@heloisa Ok, then I'll take a better look at the Spanish translations and I'll add the es_ES;)

heloisa

@hiulit Ok. Thanks :) @kactius made translation fixes a few days ago.

@heloisa oh, nice! what are some translations that you need?

heloisa

@itskryode Each one made the translation of the language that has knowledge. You can translate to the language you know. I translated to Portuguese and Spanish.

Already complete (Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Catalan). Tks :)

@heloisa Alright, I'll try for Russian. I'll get some friends who are interested with this stuff to help me out.

heloisa

@itskryode Nice! Russian is interesting, very good to have that language. Good luck. Any questions, write me. I'm following you too :)

Me again. I tried to fork a German lang file, but seem to have created a commit/proposal in the original repo instead. Could someone please give me a push in the right direction? See here:

Okay, my first version is ready in my own repo. How do I make a pull request from it into @Flyinghead's repo?

@Clyde I just did it for you but it's very simple: go to Pull Requests, New Pull request, select your repository (master branch) as head repository, select my repository (master branch) as base repository and Create.
