[Solved] Translating text in screens

[ComputerArt.Club]

So I am just beginning my first translation attempt of one of my games and I have come across a problem. When generating translation files Renpy does not see the text inside my custom screens. Here is an example from a game:

Code: Select all

screen quiz_p3b:
        use quiz_t3 id "quiz_t3"
        text "English English English English?" xalign 0.5 yalign 0.03            

These text blobs, which I have long known not to be exported when exporting the game dialog, also don't get exported in the screens.rpy translation files.

Is there a way for me to manually refer to the location?

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

text _("English")

The _() function basically tells Ren'Py to register the string as translatable, so it will add it to the relevant translation file when asked.

Thanks again Remix! That did it! You are amazing!
