Thanks a lot, that was great help! I'll try it out asap!

I have a strange issue with translations of strings: I have defined a function to say certain texts (I do this, since the speaker changes depending on a variable). It's something like: label hike_say(text): if hike=="Meilin": m "[text]" if hike=="Karina": k "[text]" return This function gets called ...

For "The Last Secret", an award-winning visual novel, we need help for correcting translations for several languages, in particular Japanese, Ukrainian and Russian, but potentially also Portuguese. The game is essentially finished (a fully playable Beta is published on itch.io), release is scheduled...

I found a strange bug: I accidentally wrote in one screen of my program: text _("Test"): align 0.5 instead of text _("Test"): xalign 0.5 I got a rather obscure error message: TypeError: 'float' object has no attribute '__getitem__' I could live with that, but Ren'py claimed that error to be in a dif...

Wow, that's cool - and way more elegant than my workaround. I'll try this out!
Thank you!
(I will leave my previous workaround posted as well, as there might be situations where it is the only choice.)

Okay, I've found a (somehow ugly) workaround: 1) I redefine the character centered and give it the name XXX: define centered = Character ('XXX',color='#CCC') 2) In the say function, I add a branch for what to do when the character is called XXX, namely printing the text centered without a background...

centered is a character, which overrides several style properties to be displayed at center. However, your screen does not use styles and instead applies properties directly. Explicitly set properties will override those provided by character object. 1) Background image and text properties change s...

That's cool. I didn't know this feature! :D Here's what I get: https://i.imgur.com/CKWzscf.png This gave me the hint to take a look at the screen file. The default definition of the say screen is: screen say(who, what): style_prefix "say" window: id "window" if who is not None: window: id "namebox" ...

Okay, here's a sample for when things go wrong: label testenv: scene colorful centered "Test" return This is the result. https://i.imgur.com/sEF2YsY.png And it shouldn't look like this: there shouldn't be a black box and the text should be centered. I think I screwed somewhere in the GUI file, but w...

I have used centered "Sample text" a few times throughout my game which worked as it should. The problem is: now it somehow doesn't work anymore. The text is not centered, but shifted by around 40 points to the right. Obviously, I must have accidentally changed something in the code at some point, p...

Great news: "The Last Secret" won second place at the "Feedback Fest" on itch.io! The game also won the first place in the category "Sound & Music".
Thanks for all supporters!

The vtuber May just did a nice let's play video of "The Last Secret" (chapter 0001):

It's the beta version, so the final release will have some improvements, but it is definitely fun to watch!

Ok, then that's a solution. Thank you very much!

But wouldn't they become blank lines then? The automatic translation of Ren'Py adds an entry for such lines in the translation file, and I think what's happens then is that these lines are replaced with blank lines in the translated version. So should I just erase such translation instructions from ...

My game has some copyright lines that could as well be in English in all languages. How can I mark them as not to be translated? The opposite can be achieved for strings with _() , but how to stop Ren'Py from translating a line like: text "This shouldn't be translated." Thank you in advance for your...
