Thanks for your feedback.
I know some translations are completely out of scope as I had the problem that
I did not know the "scope" (where/when the text is displayed).
I still have to play the game more often to find it ;-)
To do this and to find all the tanslation errors, I also want to make sure all
things are translatable.
This leads me to the next point:
I found that the files which define which other resource files to load are
the ".wrf" files.
E.g. fontend.wrf contains
directory "messages/strings"
file STR_RES "strings.txt"
file STR_RES "names.txt"
Which means: currently there is no translation foreseen, as the parser just
looks up exactly what is given here.
I'd like to modify the loading code so that one can - optionally - include
translations to all resourcefiles; which shall not limit the translation to
strings but shall also allow one to translate the speech files, etc.
So I propose to modify resLoadFile() to not only check for the given file as
given, but it shall also try to locate the file below a directory named after
the current locale, e.g.
resLoadFile() shall check for
<locale-name>/messages/strings/strings.txt
and if that does not exist, fall back to:
messages/strings/strings.txt
Whereby <locale-name> shall either be getlocale(LC_MESSAGES, 0) (e.g.
de_AT.UTF-8) or probably I shall check also/only for the language part ("de"
in this example)
I'll implement this and will come up with a patch.
If you think this approach is completely nonsens, please tell me.
