@TPR

super helpful

I agree.

Seems we have to wait for improvemnets.

@mitu Not really, I just translated the basic things in the menu. I made those translations for my dad so he can understand what are those things in the menu. I am the one who adds roms, configures the system etc. so I don't really need a full system translation. Anyway, thanks for your help guys. <3

@mitu I downloaded the emulationstation for translate and compile it, what line i must change in what file? Thanks.

@folly Thanks for chiming in, I'll look into that!

Yeah from what I've seen so far, a lot of the menus still have enough English to be playable, with the worst of it generally being not being able to read/understand the characters for games where you'd have to make up a name for yourself. With an RPG like Esper Dream however, the language barrier was definitely going to be an issue (but fortunately a translated ROM exists). Just don't want to have it inconvenience me later on.

Anyway, hopefully I can get someone who can answer some of these other questions...!!

@Retrodade

The first post of this topic is from November 2020.
It already worked back then.
So indeed it will work with older versions.

I have intergraded in my script.
If you use my script and installed a system then you can already use Hotkey "T" for translation.

@mitu That's more a typo than a full-on spelling error, though.

@herb_fargus said in Emulationstation Translation:

Anyways to each their own, we all have our pieces to play in developing the project

Yes and my piece, what I want to do, is to bring EmulationStation to today's standards regarding ergonomic and design, while keeping a "retro touch".

I love the RetroPie community, but I'm afraid we have conflicting goals. I know that you aren't against this kind of changes, as long as I provide support for it, but I may not always be here to do it.

Beside the grid view, I also wanted to bring Localization to ES, but got quickly demotivated because Buzz said he fear this will add too much, unwanted, extra work in future developments. I and many others liked the idea, but I don't want to force you (RetroPie core team) to have it if you don't want it.

Recalbox has an implementation for this already you may have better luck there
