I've been working w/ Ren'py for a while, and a few of my VNs have been translated into other languages. The translation process is generally simple, but there's one consistent issue I've run into over the last year or so.
I can translate all the English strings in my scripts except for the 'Empty Slot.' string that shows up in the save/load menu. I've never been able to translate this string, across about 4-5 different projects and about 2 years.
Here's a snippet of the save/load code from my current project (where the 'Empty Slot.' text is defined:
Code: Select all
screen load_save_slot:
$ file_text = "%2s. %s\n %s" % (
FileSlotName(number, 6),
FileTime(number, empty=_("Empty Slot.")),
FileSaveName(number))
add FileScreenshot(number) xpos 20 ypos 24
text file_text xpos 120 ypos 230 size 20 color "#9c95a0"
Code: Select all
translate german strings:
# game/screens.rpy:262
old "Empty Slot."
new "Leer."
Here's a screenshot of the issue.
Has anybody run into this before, and does anybody know what the problem might be? Thank you.
