Old translation files don't work with latest RenPy?

#1 Post by wiimote »

Hello everyone,
I am trying to revive an old project of mine that was made with Ren'Py 6 .18.3, and when porting it to 6.99.14.1 I noticed that the translation files are not fully working anymore.
Apparently, in some cases RenPy now expects different identification codes for the translated strings. For example:
Old translation code generated by RenPy6.18:

Code: Select all

translate french mylabelname_8bb9841a:
New translation code expected by latest RenPy:

Code: Select all

translate french _call_someotherlabelname_21_8bb9841a:
Is there any way to port these old translation files to the latest RenPy and make them work again? Perhaps some kind of batch text replacer? At least the numeric part at the end of each identification line is still the same, so that could be used for orientation.

So these new translation codes with _call_somethingsomething were erroneous? That means my old files are going to work again? I see. Thanks.
Any estimate as to when this fix will make it into the Release channel? Four days, four weeks, four months?

Looking for maybe a week or so? Hard to say. Not months.
