In-line translation error?

[Nayru]

Assistance please?

I've been having problems since I tried In-line translation for my Visual Novel project. I've been working with renpy version 6.9.1 then switched to 6.9.3 but I still got this error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an exception occured while executing your Ren'Py
script.

UnicodeDecodeError:

Ren'Py Version: Ren'Py 6.9.3c

I've been trying to translate it to three different languages.

Even if it's not related to this so far I've only noticed as a strange thing that when I write "None" it appears in black font when in the example of In-line translation "None" appears in brown font "[/color]None"

Code: Select all

    $ en = Character (None, condition='lang == "english"')
    $ sp = Character (None, condition='lang == "castellano"')
    $ ca = Character (None, condition='lang == "català"')[/quote]
[quote]init python:
    en = Character(None, condition='lang == "english"')
    jp = Character(None, condition='lang == "japanese"')

    en_e = Character("Eileen", condition='lang == "english"')
    jp_e = Character(u"光", condition='lang == "japanese"')

Sorry if this is a basic question, I'm a beginner and s*ck at programming.

If this is not the right place to post this assistance question, please correct me and sorry in advance, it was the closest I found.

When using Python strings containing non-English characters, like:

"català"

you need to prefix the string with a u. You also need to ensure you're saving the file with the UTF-8 encoding.

[Nayru]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take a bit of time to learn the basics of how to ensure the encoding is UTF-8.

Also by prefixing with u do you mean like this?

u $ ca = Character (None, condition='lang == "català"')

or like this?

u init python:

Could you give me an example please?

Could you give me an example please?

I think it's something like this:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ en = Character (None, condition='lang == "english"')
    $ sp = Character (None, condition='lang == "castellano"')
    $ ca = Character (None, condition='lang == u"català"')

    $ sp = Character (None, condition='lang == "castellano"')
    $ ca = Character (None, condition='lang == u"català"')

Almost.

Code: Select all

init:
    $ en = Character (None, condition='lang == "english"')
    $ sp = Character (None, condition='lang == "castellano"')
    $ ca = Character (None, condition=u'lang == u"català"')

Much thanks for all of your kind help. It was really useful and solved that error . Also, I was busy with university, sorry for the late answer.

I'm getting a new error but this time it's more related to game menus. I'm currently trying to fix it. The default language is now "english" but previously it was "català". These are the three languages and their respective menus:

Code: Select all

init -3 python:
    if persistent.lang is None:
        persistent.lang = "english"

    lang = persistent.lang

init -1 python hide:
    if lang == "english":
     config.developer = False
     config.window_title = u"Midnight's Law"
     config.main_menu = [
        (u"Start", "start", "True"),
        (u"Continue", _intra_jumps("load_screen", "main_game_transition"), "True"),
        (u"Preferences", _intra_jumps("preferences_screen", "main_game_transition"), "True"),
        (u"Quit", ui.jumps("_quit"), "True")
        ]
    elif lang == "castellano":   
     config.developer = False
     config.window_title = u"La Ley de Medianoche"
     config.main_menu = [
        (u"Empezar", "start", "True"),
        (u"Continuar", _intra_jumps("load_screen", "main_game_transition"), "True"),
        (u"Preferencias", _intra_jumps("preferences_screen", "main_game_transition"), "True"),
        (u"Salir", ui.jumps("_quit"), "True")
        ]    
    elif lang == u"català":
     config.developer = False
     config.window_title = u"La Llei de Mitjanit"
     config.main_menu = [
        (u"Començar", "start", "True"),
        (u"Continuar", _intra_jumps("load_screen", "main_game_transition"), "True"),
        (u"Preferències", _intra_jumps("preferences_screen", "main_game_transition"), "True"),
        (u"Sortir", ui.jumps("_quit"), "True")
        ]    
         

The problem is that with the last language "català", a different menu is launched. Instead of being the one I wrote above it's something like:
Start game
Load Game
Preferences
Help
Quit .

Also the help option only appears in this language.

I think this is because there are some default settings which I need to turn off. Currently trying to figure the script where they are located...

Based on your code, this is what would happen if 'lang' isn't one of the three supported languages.

One thing that could be happening is that 'lang' uses the decomposed form of the character 'à' but you're comparing it to the precomposed form (or vice-versa). See Unicode equivalence. The easiest way to prevent this is to simply use the English names for the languages, i.e. "catalan" instead of "català". (There is a proper way to prevent this, but it's fairly complicated and error-prone. I wouldn't recommend it.)

[Nayru]

Oh thanks again! ^-^ Then I'll try the easy way and tell you what happens...

EDIT: It works fine now! Problem solved ^-^ Thanks!
