heloisa

@itskryode Already done by @Flyinghead
Tks :)

A Former User

@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?

Flyinghead

@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.

hiulit

@Clyde Nice! Thank you! The more translations we have, the more the RetroPie team will see people is interested in having a localized version of EmulationStation :)

Clyde

@Flyinghead Thank you very much! I got very confused with the Github naming scheme: pull request, head repo, base repo, master branch … you just can't guess what they mean, you'll have to know it.

I'll add your post to my bookmark archive for future reference.

@hiulit Thanks, it's the first version, though, which I hacked together in one 2-hour session, and I already found some errors in it. I'll revise it as soon as I can. I'd also appreciate it if some German speakers would look over it.

Really excellent to see that this fork is alive with all these cool translations :)
@Flyinghead will you make an new update from the official master branch ?

kactius

@hiulit @heloisa
I discovered a new improvement, is possible add icons to the text translate.
But I don't know what icons are really valid.

For example:

@darknior I'm currently traveling so I won't be able to update from master until a week or so.
