Great. Thank you for your translation.

NIGHTPROGRAMME -> now is named NIGHTTIME

Maybe you find an good English translation too.

Hi Ronny! Thanks for the DevPatch! I'll try it later for sure!

For now, I've finished (at least, almost finhesed) the lang_pt-br.txt and I'm sending it to you right now.

Also, I got some feedback of the strings when testing the translation:
- I found that the string for the night time programmee (NIGHTTIME) wasn't working and the translation wasn't showing. So, I changed the string to NIGHTPROGRAMME and found that with this it works perfectly;

-The string for the Newsplanner translation of the News Studio is missing. I found that the possible correspondent string for it in the localization file is written ROOM_NEWSPLANNER and the in-game text for it shows as "Newsplaner" (look that there is a typo in the in-game text: a missing "n"). I tried change the string to ROOM_NEWSPLANER, NEWSPLANNER and NEWSPLANER but any of these have worked...;

-The string of the dialogue of the studio manager and Betty is also missing;

Now, some doubts that I got when translating:
- It may sound "dumb" but I don't get the concept of the "Special bin" thing... Is it a shelf with only selected titles (like the most recent releases?). The translation of "bin" for portuguese is caixa (box - this is the most common translation) or compartimento (compartment). Having a shelf named "Special box" (Caixa especial) sound a little strange, so I translated it to sometihing like "Special compartment" (Compartimento especial), to sound more a compartment of a shelf. However, the text became too long and ends up don't showing the last word. The workaround for this now was to translate it only to "Special" (plural - Especiais). Does it make sense or I'm missing something??

- The next one is that I came across the strings about sports like this, for example: SPORT_SOCCER_TEAMREPORT_MATCHWIN_S1. In the older versions that I played, I don't have this "event" triggered when playing, so I'm lost about the sense of the phrase to translate it (sometimes this happens when translating from English... The translation becomes clear when the whole phrase is analyzed). The point is: there is anyway to trigger these events to happen, so I can read then in the whole in-game phrase??

Thanks for the patience until here!! But this translation thing got me excited.

Well, about my programming skills... They are only notions of the programming logic that I learned when I got a job of web designer in a small Catholic diocese here from my city. I worked a little with Joomla, Wordpress etc. and learned some php, html, css logics by my own to have my job done. Also, I attended oone year in a Computer Sciences college, picking the introdutory logics for programming, the concept of algorithm, learned a little of Pascal (lol) language... For my best description, I can say that I'm a explorer and that I learn things by myself with relative easy because of this baggage of knowledge, and also because I really like computing, programming etc...

I've left that college course and attended Philosophy, from which I have a Bachelor degree, also I'm post graduated in Neurolearning and I'm finishing a Bachelor degree in Psychology. Actually I work as public employee (judicial clerk) of the Sao Paulo State Courthouse (here in Brazil the best paying - because the others pay too low - jobs are public sector - working for the State -, that to get in there is a rigid selection with exams of Portuguese, Law, Computer Notions, Maths, etc).

By the way, I'll be absent in this weekend, but get in touch when you need!
Thanks for reading and until later.

Eduardo.

While buddy Brucey (native English-speaker) already had a quick look at the lang_en.txt it wouldn't be the worst to get someone else checking it. So while translating you might find "odd phrases" - feel free to ask for the real intention of a sentence, and then correct any mistake.

Biggest help is - of course - to play the game and to report issues you found. Also ideas formed in your mind are things we like to see here in the forums - and to discuss them until we make something useful/implementable out of it.

You mention not to have programming skills in the language we use (BlitzMax/Basic). The AI is done with LUA, maybe you are interested in tinkering with it.

Would you mind to tell about your skills (aside to translating things and playing games ;-)) ?

Yes I will release that in the next version.

If you want I could drop a line in this thread, when releasing the next DevPatch (if that happens earlier). DevPatches are like "nightly build"-patches for the latest full-release-package. They might be a bit rough but contain new features to test for the "brave" ;-)

Ok, found the bug.

When loading programmes the game checks if it already were defined. If so, it prints a message to the log - containing the title of the "extended programmelicence".
This leads to processing (replacing dynamic data) and caching of the title (in the default language).

The language is then set _afterwards_. When requesting the title in the game, it uses the already cached text.

This explains why it works for description (not used/cached during loading) and not for the title.

Will fix it now (on locale-set it should get rid of potentially existing caches).
Bugfix will of course name you ("ejatoba") as bug reporter.

PS
If you send me a translation of the current English localization file:
https://github.com/GWRon/TVTower/blob/master/res/lang/lang_en.txt
either via mail to ron()gamezworld.de
or via github (in an issue or as pull request from your own fork)

then I will also include it in the official release. You know you could add your flag to the "to load"-assets so it properly displays it in the language-selection-dropdown?

bye
Ron

Will check that...and report asap.

Thanks for the spent time and the interest in helping the project by translating things.

Bye
Ron
