How to I convert translation file from old .rpt to new format?

Unfortunately, there isn't a straightforward way to do this.

Okay, so I looked at the renpy tutorial game, and this gave me some hints.
Here's an lua script to convert it automatically. (note: you may need to make some changes yourself)

Code: Select all

local file = io.open(arg[1])
local oldtrans = nil
local translatearray = {}

for line in file:lines() do
	local firstchar = line:sub(1,1)
	if firstchar ~= "#" then --don't merge comments
		if firstchar == "<" then -- from file
			if oldtrans ~= nil then
				error("from file twice")
			end
			for i, v in pairs(translatearray) do
				if v[1] == line then
					error("string twice")
				end
			end
			oldtrans = line
		elseif firstchar == ">" then -- to file
			if oldtrans == nil then
				error("no translation")
			end
			table.insert(translatearray, {oldtrans:sub(3), line:sub(3)})
			oldtrans = nil
		end
	end
end

function requote(str)
	local form = "%q"
	return form:format(str)
end

for i, v in pairs(translatearray) do
	io.stdout:write("    " .. "old " .. requote(v[1]) .. "\n" )
	io.stdout:write("    " .. "new " .. requote(v[2]) .. "\n" )
end
