EmulationStation localization (translation)

[hiulit]

@Flyinghead Thanks! That good be great :)

[hiulit]

@kactius That's really cool! Maybe you could ask the RetroPie team if they are interested in adding this feature in them main EmulationStation repository

[hiulit]

There's a guy in https://www.reddit.com/r/retropie who is doing the Norwegian translations :D (I posted the project there to see if more people wanted to help and it seems to be working already!)

[heloisa]

@kactius Wow! Can you do step-by-step how do it? Tks

[hiulit]

@heloisa Yes, please! Thanks

[kactius]

@heloisa
Is easy only:

msgid "OTHER SETTINGS"
msgstr "⚙️OTRAS CONFIGURACIONES"

msgid "CONFIGURE INPUT"
msgstr "⌨️CONFIGURAR CONTROLES(MAPEADO)"

[heloisa]

@kactius Tks :) Really cool. I'm going to test here, with other icons too.

[darknior]

Excellent idea, How do you do for icons ? They are in the font ??

[hiulit]

@darknior I think they are emojis https://emojipedia.org/ Am I right @kactius ?

[kactius]

@hiulit @heloisa @darknior

Yes they are emojis, those two were copied from Telegram client.
I tried paste many more without success.
I also think it's related to the font file, but I do not know what is the font file.

@Flyinghead any news on updating EmulationStation from the master branch?

[Leonard Lin]

@Flyinghead I add traditional chinese translation (zh_TW) file.

Yep if possible please when you have some free time :)

Thanks

We could also try to "pressure" the RetroPie team to bring localization to main EmulationStation repository https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21328/bring-localization-to-emulationstation

[Leonard Lin]

Hello.
I translated the translation into Traditional Chinese,
https://github.com/Leonard-Lin/EmulationStation/blob/master/locale/lang/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/emulationstation2.po
compiled & run ES, LANG=zh-TW.UTF-8 ./emulationstation,
but EmulationStation V2.8.0RP-DEV it won't launch :-( ,
I don't understand why returns to English,
Can someone help me? Thank you in advance!

[hiulit]

@Leonard-Lin Did you follow these steps? https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation#how-to-use-the-localized-emulationstation

When you have compiled EmulationStation, you have to:

cd /home/pi/EmulationStation # Or the path to your compiled EmulationStation
LANG=[your_locale].UTF8 ./emulationstation

Be aware that your system must be set to the same locale that you want EmulationStation to run on.

[Leonard Lin]

@Hiulit after compiled EmulationStation, found 9 fatal errors (string & duplicate),

I corrected the file (Traditional Chinese)
https://github.com/Leonard-Lin/EmulationStation/blob/master/locale/lang/zh_TW/LC_MESSAGES/emulationstation2.po

and Run EmulationStation,

cd /home/pi/EmulationStation
LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 ./emulationstation

now EmulationStation V2.8.0RP-DEV can translate into Traditional Chinese correctly.
@Flyinghead can you upgrade localized ? thanks a lot !

Another question, does anyone know how to modify the text and color description of EmulationStation in the red box? I want to add localization information.

[hiulit]

@Leonard-Lin That's amazing! One more translation for EmulationStation :D

[Leonard Lin]

One generation plants the trees in whose shade another generation rests, Thanks everyone sharing here :-)

@Leonard-Lin Btw, it would be better if you create a Pull Request in @Flyinghead Github with your Traditional Chinese translations ;)
