BTW: It'd be great if those people creating translations would use the gettext stuff to translate in-game messages, we'll also be using a lot more of gettext in the menus - currently only the main-menu is translateable .. but if we get more i18n-workers I bet we'll be seeing more translateable CubeScript that much sooner!

Translations should be official and cover all AC texts

Hearty, if you would look in the SVN Trunk or the tagged 1.1.0.0 version you would see, that there is actually an official translation (German). For translations i18n/Gettext is used.

I think he's trying to nitpick that it's not "complete" - we know, it's WiP - I think I halfways recruited Andrez to do the italian translation - but he too wants to wait until all the possible strings are translateable.
TBH - this attitude doesn't actually push me towards working on this aspect of the engine, if nobody uses it, why work on it ;-) .. and I don't really get how doing a zillion translations in one go is better than starting off with a couple of hundred and then adding more in batches of further hundreds. *shrug*

I will gladly contribute a Spanish translation!
Where's the localization files?

Remember that the spaniard spanish is different from mexican spanish,other latin languages are vulgar to mexican,not being racist but it's the same language but with a different pronunciation and sometimes different meaning,the more stable spanish languages are spaniard and mexican

Hearty: you're very new to this project - calm down a little ;-) .. there's no localization files other than german ATM - I'll create files for you if you like, you can view the basis in the SVN as AC.pot (latest version)

Monas|SK|: that's what the locale settings are for - I don't know the specifics for spanish, but I'm familiar with Castellan (typo?) and that other variants exist - I can give you an example everybody should appreciate: en_UK, en_US - those are two types of english - they differ e.g. in their spelling of "colo(u)r" or theatre/theater - people are equally biased towards these spelling differences as in other languages - it's human nature!

I know but with castellan its a little bit different cuz in mexican mona mean a type of drug and in latin or castellan mean girl... if you say traste to someone in urugay can mean culo

traste = dish
culo = ass

that's my point,maybe some words can make others laugh or get offended xD
Thanks given by:

Yeah....
I shoulda thought about that, know any Spain Spanish speakers?
I speak the Mexican Spanish, and monas is right, my grandma once went to southern Mexico and wanted to buy a snack or something and the snack name in her dialect meant nude.
So yeah, we gotta work on making it as neutral as we can somehow.

I don't seem to have made myself clear. Because these differences exist the locale does not just contain the "basic" language (in my example above "en") but also the locality-variant (above UK or US). And each translation file we provide will be geared toward an exact locale.
This means if Hearty does a mexican-spanish translation he'd do es_MX, if someone else does spanish as spoken in spain it'd be es_ES (I think, I'm still looking for a comprehensive list!).
There's a number of spanish variants: es_CO, es_MX, es_PE, es_AR, ...

Hehe - I know, but is that really all there could be? I've tried several RFCs and accompanying documents and found no lists - which is somewhat odd - anyway, w/o an online reference-list I'll probably just have to copy the list I have to our wiki.

May this help?

Anyway, why was this removed from stickies? :(
