Translation Hiccup-- Time Sensitive!

[WhiteMageChiu]

So I'm in a bit of a time crunch here...

I'm all but ready to launch my game, I have a deadline to meet, and I just finished translating my game so that it'll be bilingual German and English. I've gotten all the buttons and what not to work, so if you click the English button you can play in English, and German German but--

No matter what the menu buttons are now permanently in German, even though the translation code for the buttons is in my translation rpy file.

It's such a tiny little thing and I'm probably missing some tiny silly thing but I would really appreciate the help-!!

Code: Select all

This is old code. Please check out the Ren'Py documentation for the new way to do translations, which supports multiple languages.

Hi, thanks for the response!

If you're referring to this:

translate None strings:
old "Start Game"
new "Artstay Amegay"

I've already tried it, and for some reason it's not working : /
Which is why I went looking for another way, and ended up finding what I originally posted.

[PyTom]

Should't it be translate german strings?

Please read the documentation at:

http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/translation.html

[WhiteMageChiu]

I did, and the way I understood it was that translating the 'none' strings effected the menu buttons, and when I wrote out the code like it says to in the document nothing happens.

It's possible that I misunderstood what it was saying though.
