EmulationStation localization (translation)
-
@mitu Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. For anyone who is puzzled about this, too, these commands did the job. Anything behind
#
in a line is just a comment.git clone https://github.com/Taranchul/EmulationStation # Use the url of your own branch. cd EmulationStation # Use the directory the former command downloaded to. git remote -v # This should only show your own url as "origin". git remote add upstream https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation # Don't change this url! git remote -v # Just for checking, it should list flyinghead's repo as "upstream". git fetch upstream git checkout master git merge upstream/master # Now, your LOCAL copy should match flyinghead's repo. git submodule update --init --recursive # Also clone the submodule in external/pugixml`. git push origin master # Upload your local copy to your GitHub repository.

More experienced users may correct anything that's wrong or unnecessary. :)
One more question: After editing a file and pushing it into my repo, how do I make a pull request from the command line?
Update: Added
git submodule update --init --recursive
and the resp. guide. -
I have a problem running the compiled ES fork with the German locale:
$ LANG=de_DE.UTF8 ./emulationstation terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::locale::conv::invalid_charset_error' what(): Invalid or unsupported charset:UTF-8 or CHARSET Aborted
With
en_US.UTF8
, the program runs fine (albeit with an extremely long time of the "Loading ..." screen). edit:fr_FR.UTF-8
also works fine.My locales seem to be okay:
$ locale -a C C.UTF-8 de_DE.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_US.utf8 POSIX
I also re-generated the German locale with
sudo locale-gen de_DE
andsudo locale-gen de_DE.UTF8
.Any ideas?

Hello,
how do I install the translation on a linux mint 19.2 system? -
-
@heloisa I'm sorry, maybe I was wrong, I meant to change the emulation station language on the linux mint system.
-
@brigada Sorry. I don't know.
-
@brigada Just follow the instructions at https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation and report any problems here.

Hello, I'm sorry that I write so late, had no time.
I get the message from linux:

@brigada
cmake
reports the packagelibcec
as missing. Check which packages from the libcec family are installed:sudo apt install aptitude # install aptitude aptitude search libcec # use aptitude to search for libcec
The output of the second command should look like this:
p libcec - Meta package libCEC. i libcec-dev - libCEC communication Library (development files) v libcec-platform - p libcec-platform-dev - CEC Platform support library -- development files p libcec-platform1v5 - CEC Platform support library i A libcec4 - libCEC communication Library (shared library) p libcec4-dbgsym - debug symbols for libcec4 p libcec4-dev - libCEC communication Library (development files) p python-libcec - Python bindings for libCEC p python-libcec-dbgsym - debug symbols for python-libcec
Try to install any packages without an
i
in front of them (i
means installed) with the commandsudo apt install <package name>
and restartcmake
. Worthwhile candidates for software compilation are those ending with-dev
(development packages). After you've pinpointed the missing package, you may remove the others again withsudo apt remove <package name>
.Examples:
sudo apt install libcec-dev
sudo apt remove libcec-dev

Hello, it looks like this to me:
i libcec-dev - USB CEC Adaptor communication Library (dev p libcec-dev:i386 - USB CEC Adaptor communication Library (dev i A libcec4 - USB CEC Adaptor communication Library (sha p libcec4:i386 - USB CEC Adaptor communication Library (sha p libcec4-dbgsym - debug symbols for libcec4 p libcec4-dbgsym:i386 - debug symbols for libcec4 p python-libcec - Python bindings for USB CEC Adaptor p python-libcec:i386 - Python bindings for USB CEC Adaptor p python-libcec-dbgsym - debug symbols for python-libcec p python-libcec-dbgsym:i386 - debug symbols for python-libcec

@brigada You're actually missing some Boost related packages, libCEC is optional for installation and it's not a fatal error.
Take a look at the installation instructions and install all needed packages - https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation -
GOOD EVENING, CLASS!
CAN INSTALL AND SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS
FOLLOW THE FULL, TESTED, APPROVED TUTORIAL
THANK YOU ALL! GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL!!
BY SSH INSTALL THE FOLLOWING PENDINGS
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y sudo apt install libcec sudo apt-get install libvlc-dev sudo apt-get install -y libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-locale-dev libfreeimage-dev libfreetype6-dev libeigen3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libasound2-dev cmake libsdl2-dev
THEN WAY TO SSH YOU COMPILES SO:
(overclocked 1,200mhz is much better, but not required)cd /home/pi/ git clone --recursive https://github.com/flyinghead/EmulationStation.git cd /home/pi/EmulationStation mkdir build cd build cmake .. make
THEN YOU REPLACE THE ORIGINALS BY COMPILIES
cd /home/pi/EmulationStation sudo cp ./emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/ sudo cp -r locale /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
THEN YOU EDIT AUTOSTART
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh write this in place of the original text (assuming your language is portuguese) : LANG=pt_BR.UTF8 emulationstation #auto at the terminal type: control+x y enter
ERRORS AND BUGS, FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
- If you do not replace the backward originals with your compiled ones, there will be errors using the shutdown, restart, reset emulationstation menus.
- If you do not install the basic issues does not compile.
- If you still want to test your compiles straight from them:
sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh
LANG=pt_BR.UTF8 /home/pi/EmulationStation/emulationstation #auto
NOTE: The first "EmulationStation" notices a capital "s"!
OBS: O primeiro “EmulationStation” note um “s” maiúsculo! -
@ANDRELLVS Thanks for the compilation. One remark, though:
apt
does the same (and more) thanapt-get
, so you could just useapt
for the update, upgrade, and install commands. Its shorter to type and has no disadvantages that I know of.For more information, see https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/.
As a side note, if you ever encounter packages that won't install because they would break existing dependencies, I can recommend aptitude. It does mostly the same as apt and apt-get, but also provides a text-based gui if it's invoked without further parameters, and it will suggest (often multiple) solutions for package dependency problems, like which packages to uninstall, replace, or keep.
edit: Re-phrased first paragraph a bit.

Hello, I'm trying to install the French translation of Flyinghead, I followed all the tutorials, but I can't find my problem.
My concern is as soon as I launch the compiled version, whether in “/ home / pi / EmulationStation” or “/ opt / retropie / supplementary / emulationstation”, I have this message:
* failed to add service - already in use?*
So I reinstalled my previous uncompiled version in "/ opt / retropie / supplementary / emulationstation" and the EmulationStation works again but it is still in English. Suddenly, I make tests by directly launching the version compiled in “/ home / pi / EmulationStation” with the commands:
LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 ./emulationstation LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 ./emulationstation LANG=fr_FR ./emulationstation
and I still have the message:
* failed to add service - already in use?
Can you help me?

@grindkaiser Looks like you're trying to install on a PI 4 - that won't work unless you compile with support for OpenGL and you're using an up-to-date RetroPie installation.
-
Yes, i'm on Rpi 4. I think i have an up-to-date Retropie intallation. Can you explain me how to compile with support for OpenGL?
-
@grindkaiser You need to add
-DGL=On
to thecmake
command used to build EmulationStation, see here. -
I'll try it. Thanks.
-
It works. You are the best @mitu
