How to edit "x games available" text in EmulationStation?

Forphs

Hi, I am trying to edit all the interface of EmulationStation to another language and I managed to translate everything except that "x games available" text. Searched the internet but all I could find was about removing the text so I need some help. Does anyone knows how to edit that text to something else? Thanks!

Which EmulationStation version are you using ? There are several EmulationStation forks available - some of them already translated.

@mitu My version is V2.10.3RP but sadly there is no translation process for Turkish in the internet. I handled it anyway but can't change that text.

@Forphs I mean, handled the translations not "x games available" text.

@f-caruso's EmulationStation fork (https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera-emulationstation, used by Batocera Linux and RetroBat) has support for locale and has a Turkish translation already.

@mitu Thanks I will check this one but as I said I already done translating literally everything so isn't there just an easier way that I can edit that text?

@Forphs it looks like that text is generated here in SystemView.cpp line #263:

https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/86a0823c46f2c2c2be461c350c45d7cdeed361d5/es-app/src/views/SystemView.cpp#L263

		if (!getSelected()->isGameSystem())
			ss << "CONFIGURATION";
		else
			ss << gameCount << " GAME" << (gameCount == 1 ? "" : "S") << " AVAILABLE";

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks, that's the exact thing I am looking for. It's funny but I can't find the directory of it in my system. I guess the directory should be something like,
/opt/retropie/supplemantary/emulationstation
but there is no es-app folder or something.
Can anyone help about it please?

The string pointed by @sleve_mcdichael is in the source code - you'll need to get the source code and re-compile EmulationStation in order to get it translated.
The package distributed by RetroPie in /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation is the binary resulting from the compilation.
You said you translated everything else - how exactly did you do that, if you didn't alreay modified the source code ?

@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
