Hi.
Sometimes tool can't export text with error:

Code: Select all

  File "game/screens.rpy", line 113, in _execute_python_hide
    os.path.join(outdir, os.path.basename(store.projectpath) + '-' + store.language + '.po'))
Exception: ('Invalid language', u'English')

or if language name "eng"...

Hi,

First:

why are you manipulating languages with invalid names?

> or if language name "eng"...

Can you explain a little more what's wrong with "eng" ?

[SileNTViP]

why are you manipulating languages with invalid names?

It's not me. Games autors make this and some autors of translations ) Game and SDK work with this files normally.

v1.7 is out!
It relaxes language name checks, improves error reporting and documentation.

Hello, can I translate from Spanish to English? If so, I would like you to clarify the steps, since I do not understand the translation very well, if it were something more automated and less manual, I would feel more comfortable.

[Beuc]

You can translate from any language to any language

This is a converter between the Ren'Py translation system and the PO translation system, so this can't be automated much more.

Is there a video tutorial? the steps to follow would be a little clearer.

I clarified the install instructions a bit in the original post.
Would you like to contribute a video tutorial?

Lo haría si entendiera claramente los pasos a seguir, no hablo ingles, pienso que tal vez el traductor esta haciendo de la suyas en la traducción de la documentación o bien yo mismo me estoy complicando, pero tal vez con un video aprendería muy bien.

I see, I'll try to come with a more visual documentation when time permits.

It would be great, I look forward to it.

v1.8 is out!
In addition to a few clean-ups, it improves strings order (so Ren'Py engine strings don't stand in the middle of the catalog), and avoids unexpected gettext catalog info when translating an empty string ("").

Just a heads-up if anyone gets an IOError: [Errno 2] No translation file found for domain: 'game'

The toolkit generates languages based on the LANG environment variable, but that is the last variable in the gettext priority.

gettext loads them in this order: LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, and only then LANG

If the contents of LANG are not in either of the previous, an IOError will show up. Temporarily changing the LANGUAGE environment variable or the LANG can do the trick. As for myself, I removed the ".UTF-8" which was present on LANG but not on LANGUAGE.

Beuc. Hello again )
RTTK don't get "Another student" in .po and .pot file.
Example:

Code: Select all

# game/Scenes/introduction.rpy:110
translate russian introduction_1a64b9a7:

    # "Another student" "I bet he's dreaming about the teacher! Teacher's pet! Teacher's pet!"
    "Another student" "Держу пари, он мечтает о учителе! Учитель питомец! Учитель питомец!"

The Ren'Py Translation ToolKit is a converter between the Ren'Py native translation format and a PO file, which is usable by editors such as Poedit.

Here's The Question imported in it:

The .po translation file can be easily synchronized whenever you want, including in the middle of game development.
Translations can then be injected back into your Ren'Py "tl" directory as needed.

How to run

Download and unzip renpy-ttk in your Ren'Py games folder, like one of your games, and start it using the Ren'Py Launcher:

Or you can run the Python scripts directly for easy automation.

Download: https://renpy.beuc.net/download/renpy-ttk-latest.zip ( v1.8 )

Documentation and source code: https://www.beuc.net/renpy-ttk/

Is it possible to separate the ".po" files from the common, screen files? I mean to translate only the dialogs and not all together.
example:
out/[game folder]/*.po
