Translation for complex structure in renpy

[derkonstantin]

Hi !.
First of all. i am sorry for my English.
In this topic viewtopic.php?f=51&t=25245 some dev gave us his code for quest log.
I look it in and see this (full code in quests.rpy)

Code: Select all

        goals.append(Goal("peter", "Find and help Peter"))
        goals.append(Goal("paul", "Find and help Paul"))
        goals.append(Goal("mary", "Find and help Mary"))
        goals.append(Goal("finish", "Return to Eileen for your reward"))

        stages.append(Stage("peter,paul,mary", "atlast"))
        stages.append(Stage("finish"))
        
        quests.append(Quest("Eileen's Quest",
            "Help Eileen out by helping out her friends Peter, Paul, and Mary who are each in different rooms.  Eileen is in the pink room.",
            "Tutorial",
            goals,
            stages)

I am trying to create some translation for this code. Renpy didn`t create any templates for this code.
So my question is: How I can translate strings in complex python structure?

You can use function _ to generate translations for some strings. Do not aply it to lines which do not need to be translated (like id or something like that)

Code: Select all

goals.append(Goal("peter", _("Find and help Peter")))

Thanks.

As I found - "_" is not enough.
Should use double - "__".

Hi. I am use this code in my game and have some trouble with translation for tooltip

Code: Select all

    image tooltip_inventory_dark_side_letter = LiveComposite((700, 73), (3,0), ImageReference("information"), 
                    (3,30), Text(__("Это первое, что я нашел у себя в карманах. Вы не поверите, но это - письмо!"), style="tips_bottom"))

and I have translation file

Code: Select all

    # items.rpy:58
    old "Это первое, что я нашел у себя в карманах. Вы не поверите, но это - письмо!"
    new "This was the first thing I found in my pockets. You could not believe but it's a latter!

But as I found - images in renpy create in init stage - so I see tooltip as image with untranslated text.
can I somehow fix it?
Or I need redone tooltip mech without any image?

If normal translation doesn't work, ConditonSwitch might, you can condition whichever text is displayed with the language in use. I've never translated anything in Ren'Py but there is no reason for it to fail. The second sentence is horribly translated btw, both in spelling and grammar.

In many places, you're going to want to use a string with the !t modifier.

For example, it can be used in the following screen code.

Code: Select all

if h < 6:
    $ period = _("night")
elif h < 12:
    $ period = _("morning")
elif h < 18:
    $ period = _("evening")

"It is the [period!t]."

Translated code will also include [period!t], which with then be replaced by one of the four string translations.

Thanks.
For now I create some workarounds.
ps Yes I now that my English is not so well). So thanks twice.)
