Translating HattrickPoli



Whole HattrickPoli (menus, dialogs, messages) can be translated to different languages. There are two files that have to be translated: HattrickPoli.lan and HTTraslations.txt. Both files are in the directory where you installed HattrickPoli. You will see that format of these files is very simple. First line containes names of languages separated by '|', and rest of the lines containes text that have to be translated, separated by '|'.

HattrickPoli.lan
Containes text for menus, dialoges, messages, and so on.... Just add your language at the end, and translate text. When you finish, please send it to me, and I will add it to the next version of HattrickPoli.

HTTranslations.txt
This file is more important. Actually none of the text that appear in this file id displayed in HattrickPoli. It is used for parsing. So, only languages that are supported by HT should be listed here. There may still be some errors in this file, so if your language is supported by HT, please go through this file, and if you see any errors let me know.


Since HattrickPoli is constantly evolving, there will be some problems for the translators. So, I decided to write a small tool, which will help them. You can download it here. It's very simple tool. First you load 'HattrickPoli.lan', then you make changes to your language, then you save the file, and then you send it to me. If you are starting new language, then click 'New language' in the menu. You can check the 'Show only not translated' check box, so that you can see which strings has not be translated yet.

Oh, yes, I suggest that before you start translating new language, you contact me whether somebody is not already working on language you are after.
