Where and what should be prescribed?

In the installation steps, the step that runs cmake .. should be replaced by cmake -DGL=On ...

Hi everyone,

Since I needed it for my personal use, I managed to update the localized EmulationStation on the last version used by RetroPie 4.6 (2.9.3) by forking @Flyinghead repository.
Since I'm french, only this language is up-to-date (I modified a bit the original translation too to be more "accurate" imho) but translation files for other languages are already updated with new messages and should work correctly (not tested).
For your information, 90% of the interface is still translated (~310/340 messages are translated).

Nothing changed for building or installation. It is still the same procedure.

Here is the GitHub repository: https://github.com/Yaoh/EmulationStation
It is my first repository on GitHub so I can ignore some "rules" or something like, If it is the case, please let me know.
If someone is interested to update/add a new translation, I will try to accept pull request (maybe it is very easy but I'm a GitHub noob !).

As indicated in the README of the repository, I'm aiming to update my repository only on a tagged version from RetroPie repository.

Have a good day/night everyone and I hope my (little) work will be useful for somebody.

hiulit

@Yaoh thank you! I'll update the catalan and spanish translations when I can

Restart/Shutdown/Reboot EmulationStation options do not work after translate, can help me?

@mitu hi, i tested in my arcade with pi3, after compiling and running it i copy all the files and replace the original ones because i cant do this step:

cd /home/pi/EmulationStation
sudo cp ./emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/
sudo cp -r locale /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/

So i entered with winscp as root and copy directly overwriting all and runs fine in spanish.

I have a pi4 with retropie 4.6, i do exactly the same procedure but when i restart pi it fails and throw me to the command line. Thats because i must compile it adding DGL=ON like you said?

If you're running on a Pi4, then yes - without adding -DGL=On to cmake's command line, it won't work correctly.

@mitu Working now!!! Thanks

Im having an issue, after updating omxplayer in Rasperry 4 with Retropie 4.6 because it dont mix songs, allways plays the same order, i lost my spanish translation, i did again all (https://github.com/heloisatech/TranslationEmulationStation-TraduzirEmulationStation) but not working, stay in English.

@codafire solved adding line to autostart.sh

Isn't it much easier to make a CrowdIn/Transifex/Weblate page?

If RetroArch has one, why can't RetroPie?

@codafire funciona tu traduccion al español? en la nueva imagen de retropie 4.7?
por que a mi me aparece esto
"failed to add service - already in use?"

Does your Spanish translation work? in the new look of retropie 4.7?
why does this appear to me
"failed to add service - already in use?"

@mitu hi
do I have to add this command line? or remove it?

Not sure what you're referring to - compiling/building/running EmulationStation ?

@mitu Hi there
when i follow these steps
https://github.com/heloisatech/TranslationEmulationStation-TraduzirEmulationStation
or this
https://github.com/Yaoh/EmulationStation
on raspi3 it works perfect, but on raspi4 both in 4.6 and 4.7 it does not start and sends me to the command line with this message
"failed to add service - already in use?"

in the two tutorials when I get to this step the message appears
pi@retropie:~ $ cd /home/pi/EmulationStation
pi@retropie:~/EmulationStation $ LANG=[your_locale].UTF8 ./emulationstation

failed to add service - already in use?
pi@retropie:~/EmulationStation $

@lionsquall I'm not familiar with those forks, maybe ask the authors about it.

LionSquall

@mitu Can you explain to me how you put above how it is compiled with DGL=ON and cmake?
to try to test a possible solution for raspi4

Hi everyone.

I just created a github to merge the work of Retropie and the work of Flyinghead.

If you need a translation for ES you can use this repository : https://github.com/Mestoph/EmulationStation

I'll merge all futures versions of ES with the work of Flyinghead.

Thanks you Retropie, ES and Flyinghead team !

Lolonois

@Mestoph Thanks reviving the i18n efforts and applying to the latest ES. However, I noticed the umlauts got lost in DE (FRench seems to be ok, but maybe other languages are affected too). For example compare the old/flyinghead with the new/Mestoph.
Also I noticed that binaries (*.mo) and backup files (*.po~) made it into the repo.

Mestoph

@Lolonois Thanks. I just been corrected it and removed switch origin/master to master.
