RenPY translation

[Yiu Korochko]

Hi all. I am Yiu Korochko, a translator, and I wanted to translate a specific renpy game, and to make it easier, i was going to make a pictureless version with the translations for the makers to see if it is good enough, then i would send the project files to them. but, after translating the first line, and making sure the encoding was in UT-8, the characters come up as boxes...btw im translating from english to japanese, and since im still to get a keyboard, im using a jwordprocessor. i am an utter noob in RenPY and the tutorials and walkthroughs are very confusing. i usually learn quickly, but the renpy is difficult so any help would be great.

Certainly it's the case that if you try and get a font to draw characters which it doesn't have defined, it will draw a generic "I don't know that character" glyph, which is quite frequently an empty square/rectangle. So finding a font which supports Japanese characters and trying again would probably be a good start.

Sazanami Gothic is a reliable and free Japanese font you might want to use.

lol I am sorry, you three! I have lots of japanese fonts already (been fansubbing for about 18 months) i just don't understand how to set them into the program! I shall fiddle about a little more until another response, thank you much!

on options.rpy

Code: Select all

    style.default.font = "MSPRGOT.ttf" #the font should be inside the game folder
    style.default.size = 25

I don't know why, but MSPRGOT only worked with size around 23-25.
if you change the font and still showing boxes, try changing the font size.

Woah...thank you much, I don't think I will ever get a grasp of this language ( >.<) (笑)

[Yiu Korochko]

Yes, I added mikachanALL.ttc and that worked as soon as I tried it, but with the menu changes and etc, I am baffled!

I hope to become as fluent in Ren-Py as I am in Aegisub (笑)

Thanks very much, really getting the hang of it now and actually getting to scripting. ^^
