EmulationStation localization (translation)

Clyde

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.

@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 :)

@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 ?

@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:

Flyinghead

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

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

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!)

@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?
