[SOLVED] Translated renpy.input box not translating

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

I have an input box in my game which wasn't translated. I added _() to the labels and was then able to generate new strings - great! However, the text inside the box remains in english.

Here's my code:

In script.rpy:

Code: Select all

$ povname = renpy.input(_("Enter your name below:"), _("Name"), length=20)
$ povname = povname.strip()

In (russian) script.rpy:

Code: Select all

# TODO: Translation updated at 2017-10-11 11:43

translate russian strings:

    # endings.rpy:1713
    old "Enter your name below:"
    new "Введи свое имя ниже"

    # endings.rpy:1713
    old "Name"
    new "Имя"

But when I test, only "Enter your name below" works, and "Name" remains in English. Any ideas?

Use a __ to translate the default. That's two underscores, rather than one.

Thanks Tom This worked!

So I understand, does it need 2 underscores because it's the second translation on the line?

Ah, I think I'm now closer to really understand what this part of the documentation means: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/translat ... -variables
