Translating "The Missing Tickets" into Japanese

[Recca Phoenix]

I don't know how far this project will go, but I want to at least try it, for both the Japanese gamers and for those of us wanting to practice our Japanese.
I ran across a problem when trying to localize the game according to the guide on renpy.org

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 6)

While compiling python block starting at line 2 of /Applications/renpy-5.6.7/The_Missing_Tickets/game/japanesesupport.rpy.

the "japanesesupport.rpy" file is the one copied from the site.
Any idea what to fix here?

I have another translation-related question as well.
When a character speaks, do you have to put a little "u" before it if it's in Japanese?
i.e.

Code: Select all

##normal
a "Yes"
##japanese
a u"はい"

or does it convert to unicode automatically?

1) Bug in Ren'Py. Will fix in next version due out ASAP.

2) No, you only have to put the u in front of python strings. Ren'Py automatically uses unicode.
