Scope

Context:

  • Romanian is a gendered language. This greatly increases the difficulty of translating script tags
  • There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in this translation (only a handful of contributors)

Given these facts, these are the objectives of this translation:

  • 100% translation with no focus on proper gendered inflections
    • it's just simply too much work
    • a fully translated game with some broken inflections is better than a partially translated game.
  • reliance on players to submit issues regarding translation bugs
    • this approach allows for fixing the upmost important tags first

General Notes for contributors

  • Each XML entry has a comment above containing the English translation. You might want to have the French translation opened in a separate tab when translating, for reference.
  • XML entries containing the TODO string are ignored by the game (the English default will be shown instead).
  • XML entries having the comment <!-- UNUSED --> above are outdated translations from a previous version of the game, kept as a reference. They should be integrated in the newer tags, or outright deleted altogether.
  • Romanian has gendered nouns. Some tags admit a female version (e.g. <title> and <titleFemale> in Backstories.xml). Cross-check the French translation for inspiration.
  • DeepL is a great tool to speed up the translation, especially for long bodies of text. Don't just copy and paste, proofread what is translated and correct if necessary.
  • Check out the scripts/tag_extract.py script. It allows easy extraction&insertion of tag content into Google Translate / DeepL for insane translation throughput.
