Russian translation

Game Dev Tycoon translation
#157

Seems we will have to ditch weblate. We are just having too many issues with it.

I will go through the pull requests late this week (sorry for the delay). Can you make one single authoritative PR (so collapse all the little ones together) and get someone else to vouch for its quality?

#158

Here is the cumulative pull request with all my recent changes:

And sorry, I don’t know anyone from current Russian translation team to ask for vouching. I can ask one of other moderators from Steam Translation Server to review my changes, though, if you don’t mind.

Well, Roganik has added a useful comment to one of my pull requests, so if you trust him, I can ask him to review.

That’s great. The okay from another experienced moderator would be ideal.

#160

MrFreemanBBQ has agreed to review my latest pull request, he will write his comments in a Steam discussion later today.

#161

fantastic. I should be able to merge the changes by Friday. Integration into the game will probably be next week.

#162

You are really agile :smile:
Just to make sure we are on the same track: there are more changes to follow.

MrFreemanBBQ has reviewed my changes.

Seems that ‘News’ msgid is used in game without translation, could you please check?

And could you please also check one of my previous posts about other localization issues?

#166

Any hints where this would occur? I checked through all News occurrences and they seem to be translated correctly.

#167

re. 1 - not sure about this. will need to check.
re. 2 - confirmed, wasn’t translated. I will add the comment "music record status"
re “Detective” and “Fan” - both should have comments saying “achievement title” or “topic name”

#168

Sorry, forgot to make a screenshot. It was a message early in game about one of the first successful games.

#169

re. 3. I have checked en-US.pot – there are 2 msgids with comments, you are right. And I found out that in ru.po there is only one msgid without comment. In fact, all the comments in ru.po are removed :(. Will try to fix this where possible, thank you for the hint.

#170

that doesn’t sound good. sounds like a rather nasty bug from weblate might have caused this :confused:

#171

Is en-US.pot up to date? I can spend some time restoring comments in ru.po, if they are not just comments but identify similar msgids.

BTW, how does code distinguish msgids with the same value, but different purpose? I thought that English value at the same time serves as the key, but having two ‘msgid “Fan”’ lines violates this…

#172

Got another strange line:

(BTW, what do I need to stop being ‘new user’? :slight_smile: )

And yes, I have a new pull request.

  • Это должно быть проблемой для англоговорящим пользователям увидеть, если они знают, что линия это от
    English
  • This should be a challenge for english users to see if they know what line this is from
    German
  • Dies sollte eine Herausforderung für Englisch-Nutzer sehen, wenn sie wissen, welche Linie ist dies aus
    First one is russian.

The screenshot is for developers mostly, it’s ‘MSCDPN_88’ part that matters. All the Russian strings around don’t matter. I can only add that message box is about ‘Game is off the market’.

(PS. First line is not in Russian, sorry :). Google Translate failed :).)

#175

this is roughly the logic we are using:

get both the English text, and comment from code, then look up translation:

a) if text+comment matches a key in the lookup file, use this translation.
b) otherwise, just use text to look up the translation.

#176

this is by design and doesn’t need to be translated. in the game this appears when your credit card is stolen. it’s a fraudulent charge.

You should have been promoted now.
