For a few months I'm working on a utility that replaces strings hardcoded in Dwarf Fortress.exe with ones it get from an external file, ie. it can be used to translate Dwarf Fortress to some language other than English (in particular we are working on Russian translation of DF). If someone interested I will provide additional info.

I know this might not be on your list of targets, but Tagalog localization might be possible? In case there might be that small niche of players who speak that primarily. Just placing it here as a suggestion.Wikipedia says that Tagalog currently uses Latin writing system, so it won't be very difficult to make localization. Of course translation of text strings is up to you and anyone interested, I can only provide the utilty program.

Binary l10n is always a pain, especially with languages whose word sizes differ when translated.If memory serves me, about 25 percent text strings translated in Russian are much longer then corresponding original strings. That was rather tricky, but I've solved the problem.

i'm trying to translate DF to other languge
Post by: Mesa on March 03, 2013, 10:15:00 am
Polish is a very, VERY context-heavy language (every single word has at least 7 or so forms depending on context of the sentence)
Let me give you an example (COMRADES, BEWARE!):
"góra" (pronunciation (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Pl-góra.ogg)) ("mountain" and "up").
"To jest góra." ("This is a mountain.")
"Tu nie ma góry." ("There is no mountain here.")
"On jest na górze." ("He is on the mountain." OR "He is upstairs.")
Translating it to make it work in Dwarf Fortress is crazily hard, if not impossible.
While Dwarf Fortress IS hard by definition, one would need to rewrite most of the game's code to make it work - and it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle.
That's the problem with most games that use pseudo-random generation (of text).
While Minecraft succeeded at translating the game (but still no proper Polish font is available - there IS a Polish font support, but it's not the Minecraft-style pixelated font), it did so only because of lack of randomly generated text.
Enough of derailing...

As for noted localization problems, probably most of the East-European languages will have the same problems with declination. However for now most of menus and static inscriptions are translated more or less adequately.
The problematic places are:
- Thoughts and prefences screeen
- Announcements and reports screens
- Legeds mode messages
- some other places
Furthermore, order of words in names of various objects must be reversed to avoid necessity of declination, eg. "X of steel" ("ботинки из стали", "шлем из стали", "кольчуга из стали" еtc.) instead of "steel X" ("стальные ботинки", "стальной шлем", "стальная кольчуга" etc.)
Currently this problem is nearly impossible to overcome.
A while ago I did send the source code of my GUI to someone, and he said the russian masterwork mod is about 50% done... I saw screenshots, it works. :)As far as I know russian masterwork mod uses my localization patch. Someone I know under Rian Ashes nickname said he is going to translate the masterwork mod :)
Moreover, we already translated Dwarf Therapist and made Soundsence to understand russian messages (thanks to Soundsence developer).

Hey, found your thread on the forums, I'm interested on making a Lithuanian (at least partial) localization. Any chance I could get my hands on your program? Did you add Latin characters yet?It's better to say, "did you remove cyrillic characters?" :) It's not so hard to do. The greater problem for me is how to name the new utility? For now it is called dfrus, it's obvious that the universal utility needs another name.
Anyway I am going to show you the program this weekend. Trust me ;)
Post by: insolor on April 14, 2013, 03:53:07 am
The package contains two files: dfint.exe and template.lng, the utility itself and the template of language file appropriately.
You must rename template.lng as you wish, then change it's first line.
The first line contains the name of a copy of the Dwarf Fortress executable, that will be patched. The original Dwarf Fortress.exe won't be changed.
The remaining part of the language file looks like:
Code: [Select]
|Activity|Activity|
|Training Session|Training Session|
|Activity Event|Activity Event|
|Go to Combat Training|Go to Combat Training|
|Organize Combat Training|Organize Combat Training|
|Lead Combat Training|Lead Combat Training|
|Wait for Combat Training|Wait for Combat Training|
...To translate some string you must change the text after the second | , i.e.:
Code: [Select]
|Activity event|Ytivitca tneve| some comment hereBe careful with lines that ends with ==. The length of translation in that lines must be the same as the length of the original string to prevent the game from crash.To apply your translation to the DF, place the dfint.exe and your .lng file to the directory that contains Dwarf Fortress.exe and then execute dfint.exe. The changed DF executable with the name from the first line of your .lng file will be appeared.

Same with reactions. I know the Necromunda total conversion uses "brew drink" to make clean drinking water, so it could be renamed to "clean water". Or rename it to "press juice", if you play humans that dont need booze.
Same with furniture. Instead of doors you could make "vault doors", for the fallout mod. And replace "a vile force of darkness" with "a marauding group of supermutants" ;)
You can also hide endless amounts of easter eggs with this in the game. "Winter is upon you" turns to "Ned Stark was right: Winter is coming"
All in all, a very powerful tool.

I just tested this, and it enables a lot of things of interest to people with total conversions. You can rename everything with this, all vanilla things. All vanilla reactions, even procedually generated demons, titans and FBs. You can make steampunk-themed FBs and alien-titans with this if you so desire. Or make clowns actual clowns, at least from the name.I even didn't suppose such an application for the tool :D From this point of view it opens new horizons for modding :)

And it works beautifully. Not sure how much this is suitable for normal mods, but some bigger projects and/or total conversion can use this for quite a few things. Its just a lot of work to read through the text and change things without messing anything up. After all, its 12,000 lines of text. :o
But yeah, thank you. :) This is one more tool for intrepid modders, opening previously closed doors.
EDIT: Still reading, some really interesting parts in there. Werebeasts and Vampires, all body descriptors, seasonal announcements, texts from liaison and diplomats, these:

It's obvious they are going another way, not binary patch. There are no "Slaves to Armok:" nor "Chapter II: Dwarf Fortress" strings unobfuscated in the Dwarf Fortress.exe.
Probably they modified sdl_ttf.dll or something like that.

As far as I understood, he is going in parallel to us: he made patched version of Dwarf Fortress.exe (I guess manually), and now he is trying to make modified version of sdl_ttf.dll.

Other way less convoluted to ask, if a string is 20 chars long, at the moment of translation I need to replace it for exactly for a word(s) 20 chars long? Can't it be more (21), or less (19)?
Post by: insolor on May 06, 2013, 11:15:16 pm
Wait, what about string length? Does that mean that for example if I want to translate "Carpenter's workshop" (20 chars), that in Spanish would be "Taller de carpintería" or "Taller del carpintero" (both 21 char), then I could only write "Taller de carpinterí" or "Taller del carpinter"?In the most cases string length doesn't matter (within reason, of course). There are some problematic strings, which length must be the same as in the original, most of them are marked with == at the end of line, some are yet to be discovered.

I seem to be unable to translate the (Start Playing->) Dwarf Fortress option. The included "Dwarf Fortress" when changed to something like "Vault mode" does not produce the desired result.The included "Dwarf Fortress" affects only on the window's caption. The text you are searching is encrypted as Meph already said.

Say, what happens to this when DF is updated? I assume the utility has to be changed, at the very least the string-dump...The utility will work as is without any modifications, assuming that DF will be compiled with the same compiler as previously. Of course the string-dump has to be updated.

https://bitbucket.org/dfint/changetextpy/downloads
In short: Download it and unpack into DF folder, then run install_fake_ttf.bat.
This will rename SDL_ttf.dll to Real_ttf.dll and newly unpacked Fake_ttf.dll to SDL_ttf.dll.
Run the bat-file again and the names will be restored.
What does it do:
When DF wants to render some text (assuming that [TRUETYPE:YES]), it calls a couple of functions from SDL_ttf.dll. The SDL_ttf.dll replaced with our Fake_ttf.dll at first passes the text it get from DF to the ChangeText.dll, that uses a Python script in turn to translate the text or change it in some way.
An example of a script and the result see below
(http://thumbnails105.imagebam.com/27592/b0ba25275919707.gif) (http://www.imagebam.com/image/b0ba25275919707)
Update 1:
Added output of the Python error message when the changetext.py module import failed (eg. "SyntaxError: invalid syntax" or "ImportError: No module named 'changetext'")
Post by: Meph on September 14, 2013, 11:43:18 am
Does it lead to crashes, like the localisation patcher, if you change the length of certain strings? I had some mean crashes after I changed death-messages... my versions were too long it seems.

You can just point to a piece of text on your screen and say "This needs to be that instead." It also may be a smidge more safer than prodding around in the executable, since you're just taking a magic marker to the finished package instead of manipulating the starting conditions to make it come out right.

I can't seem to add new lines to the "phrases" part. I can replace the contents of the ready ones with other stuff and everything works just fine, but having one more line than default inside phrases{...} makes it spit up an error at startup and not change anything.
Do you need to declare the amount of altered strings somewhere or am I offending Python in some way?

Oh and @insolor:If you mean "Error: Failed to import changetext.py module", this is probably because of syntax errors in the module, eg. missing comma between key:value entries.

Does it lead to crashes, like the localisation patcher, if you change the length of certain strings?It doesn't and it's the first advantage. Strings that are too long are just truncated. The truncation occurs because the width of "plate" on which text is drawn calculates as width of some "wide" letter multiplied by the original text length. (Btw, we get black tails after end of text in the game for non-monotype fonts by the same reason: plates turn way longer than text they contain)
On another hand in most cases patch can make text much longer then Fake_ttf.dll do.
As for me (as a localizer), the main advantage is that SDL_ttf.dll gets text already prepared to output (ei. it gets whole phrases instead of separate words), so that we can affect on the sentence building logic, we can decline words according to genders and cases, etc.
/Never mind if I get confused in phases somewhere, it's still hard to me to communicate in English/

Does this mean it can fix some of the TTF display errors?
For Example:
"Make magenta bricks from blocks (4)" is so long ingame, that it overwrites the 'R' and 'S', the repeat and suspended letters. But the TTF version is short enough not to block them. Usually, DF would still overwrite the 'R' and 'S', because the Non-TTF version is long enough to overwrite them. But with this new utility of yours it wouldnt be the case anymore?
Hope that was somehow clearer in writing then in my head. :P

It would have been a lot of work anyway, not worth the trouble, I just wanted to know if it exists. So when it comes down to it, it doesnt add new features, at least from the stand point of the end user. Regardless of using the first or second utility, the product will stay the same.
EDIT: Actually... string dump replacement sometimes results in hacked together things, because it doesnt have complete sentences, but single words... like "earrring", which has the plural of "earrings". I changed "earring" to "hourglass", and the plural suddenly is "hourglasss", because I cant tell it to add ES instead of S. So this I could fix...

Post by: scamtank on July 17, 2014, 04:19:36 am
It seems the "extraction" is a little messy and sometimes loses letters from the beginnings of sentences, but anything that looks off can be cross-referenced with the original stringdump.txt graciously formatted by Insolor himself (https://bitbucket.org/dfint/df-i18n/downloads) and sorted out.
In any case, not a lot got deleted outright, so whatever you have right now should work without destroying everything. Mostly it's the order getting scrambled a bit and a big lump of new stuff going in, particularly the conversation bits.

I can't know what information you found or are still missing, but here's the translator.pl that Putnam very kindly handed off to me, just in case. This thread is all about farting around in the forbidden zone, after all.Thank you a lot :)
I found general description of the file format and some perl scripts in the "DF from scratch and so on" topic. The file format description is nearly all I need, but the working script surely will save time for me.

And you remember the weird tags that control colors and line formatting in the decoded help files, right?No I dont, but I know the formatted embark message, but never noticed any tags.
So this will work?
Code: [Select]
[B] => linebreak
[P] => linebreak with empty line in between
And if I replace 000226A5| twisted into humanoid form| with 000226A5| twisted into humanoid form[P]| I would get a nicer unit description? Man, I have to try this with dwarves asap.Post by: scamtank on July 21, 2014, 12:51:53 pm
Annnnnnd I'm not too confident with the citizen descriptions. Ideally, you want to be able to jam the tags right before the first character in the sentence or just after the punctuation. Anything else looks really dumb and broken. Like here, where I put a [P] in front of every descriptive sentence about voices and cheekbones:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
You're still limited. And before you think about using those tags in front of the very, very common pronouns, look at this horrorshow:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
"He", "she", "his", "him" and "her" all got a [P] in front of them, nothing more.

Select first seven characters, make them go away:
Find: ^.{1,7}
Replace: nothing
Take note of the bit with the bars around it, then make it double:
Find: (\|.*\|)
Replace: \1\1
Then just use the standard search to replace the ||:s with single |:s. All done.
Post by: insolor on July 28, 2014, 01:00:42 pm
Since I keep forgetting how to sweep away the hex addresses from the front and duplicate the string proper, I'll jot them down here while I still remember. You only need two regular expressions in Notepad++:My bad, I forgot to include instruction :)

Actually, you do not need to prepare a stringdump at all. The patch just ignores any line, which contains less then 3 bars.
Some examples:
Code: [Select]
This line doesn't contain any bars, consider this as a comment
| only one bar - ignore this!
12345whatever|somestring| There is two bars (like in a stringdump), it's just a template
1256|abc|| Here is an action: replace abc with an empty string

Still, uniform formatting is great for WinMerge shit. That thing hiccups on the dumbest things.
For the sake of sanity, check out a tool called DiffMerge from SourceGear. Works on Windows and Linux.
I used it constantly at work to unravel ugly diffs in code. The killer feature is being able to insert manual alignment markers - in other words you can tell the diff algorithm "no, dammit, this line is the same as this line, stupid."
Post by: Roses on August 06, 2014, 09:31:55 pm
Yeah, its lovely. I tried that formatting trick with 'B' for linebreaks, and suddenly all the coins, artefacts and items are very readable. :)
So I don't quite understand, what do I do to make it look pretty?
Post by: Meph on August 06, 2014, 09:38:44 pm
And if you add a
Code: [Select]
[B] in front of that, you get a linebreak. Just like adding a tag here on the board. I made a post about it here, including all lines I altered: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=141686.0You just open the string dump, find the lines you want, add that 'B', and patch the exe. And then it looks like this:

[] itself are read out by DF, it thinks you are ending the descriptions tag. It only works in the string dump, or in the weird-text-files, which are the diplomat texts and the embark text. And the ingame manual.Edit: It does work on descriptions that are procedually generated, because they are not in the raws, but also in the .exe. :) So titans, megabeasts, fbs...
Edit: these are the most likely candidates: All the "Its" with capital I could get a linebreak.

No, you cant. The string dump is in the exe, it patches the exe. It doesnt change the process after it started, so you can do anything about the raw texts it reads out. Insolor posted an alternate way to translate content that is displayed, but it wouldnt add linebreaks into the text.

Insolor, could you please be so kind and post a string-dump that ready to work with 40.20? I downloaded the one for 40.19, ran a command to copy all lines and tried it, but it did not quite work correctly.
There's only a few tiny differences between versions 19 and 21. You probably got something wrong.
There's the new labor tokens BUILD_ROAD and BUILD_CONSTRUCTION among the others, the generic tags "Mine" and "Channel" were removed and the new keyboard shortcuts were tacked on the list (DESIGNATE_STANDARD_MARKER/TOGGLE_MARKER/MINE_MODE and BUILDJOB_NOW). Nothing else got changed.

You're the expert, so you'll probably know for sure: I've been recently banging my head against the fact that certain strings are read in several different places at once. Could there be some potential way to forward replacement strings only to certain memory addresses?
I can implement separation of such "conjoint" strings. In the language file it will look like this:
Code: [Select]
|string|translation1| # default translation
|string|translation2|reference address|DF timestamp|
The custom translation will work only for specific DF version, so you will have to explicitly define the timestamp of the DF executable.
But I will add this functionality not earlier then I complete translation of dfint/dfrus to Python.
Currently, when I encounter such problems, I'm trying to fix them with changetext.py script. For example, the word "well" in Russian must be translated differently depending on if it is a construction or a feeling. In the changetex.py I added code which determines, if there is "I" pronoun in the statement. If it is, the code will translate "well" as "good" ("I am feeling well" == "I am feeling good" but not "I am feeling a well" ;) ).
Post by: insolor on July 08, 2015, 03:00:24 pm
We translated DF to Russian for about a year at transifex.com:

Today we also added two more languages: Ukrainian and Esperanto (the latter added mainly just for fun). Belarusian probably will be added soon too.
You can request addition of a new language there. If you already started translation, I can import you translation to the transifex.com.
The main limitation - writing system must be Latin or Cyrillic. I know, that there is Chinese translation of DF, but I cannot guarantee, that I can add support of any hieroglyphic language. The same applies to languages with right-to-left writing system.
Update: added Italian and Belarusian.

You already can try to test it, but for now it lacks of documentation.
To download it go to the downloads (https://bitbucket.org/dfint/dfrus-py/downloads) page, then tags, and there click on 'zip' (or the format you prefer) next to the stable tag.
To get some help, execute the dfrus.py script with the `--help` switch (you need python3 to execute it):
Code: [Select]
python dfrus.py --help

Cool beans, appears to be working fine. Any new features? Functions? Patches to horrible bugs we never noticed?Glad to see, that someone already tried it :)
- The most cool feature is that it is in Python and not in Euphoria, so now it is way easier to support and develop (I hope people from the openeuphoria community will forgive me for this words, but we have what we have).
- The second cool feature is that now there won't be two different versions of this patch (ie. dfrus with Cyrillic support and dfint latin-only), so that there is no need to synchronize changes/fixes between that versions.
- It is based on the code of dfrus (not dfint). Sorry for that, but dfint was not updated since 2013, whereas dfrus code was last updated in the February of 2015. There is a bunch of bugs that I've fixed since 2013.
Keep in mind, that the code was rewritten from scratch, and not yet tested thoroughly, I only fixed several most obvious bugs.
If you notice any new bugs, which were not in the 'good old' dfint, please let me know.

- I'm still working on bugs in the patch. Although causes of the most of bugs are already discovered, it need some work to eliminate them.
- We have 10 languages to which DF is translated, but not all the translators continue the work.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
- Last night I was requested to make exe for Portugese (Brasil). It was really sudden for me, because about a week ago it was only 3% completed (just ahead of Ukrainian), but now all the hardcoded strings are translated. That's really impressive.

Some news.There is a few typos in the menu and the game screen, from the screenshots. Though I guess you are not the best person to report it to.To add Portugese I've added support of cp860 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_860) to the patch. Actually some special characters are correctly displayed only in TTF mode, but it's possible to edit graphic fonts to support cp860. There are only a few differences (http://i.imgur.com/XtBAGDm.png?1) between cp437 (which is basic codepage for DF) and cp860.

Olá Teneb,
Eu estou traduzindo o game para português BR sozinho, se você verificar as frases ainda não foram revisadas!
Preciso saber como gerar o .exe do game com o arquivo PO, para realizar as devidas correções da tradução, se alguém no grupo poder criar um pequeno tutorial sobre como juntar o PO no EXE, em alguns dias eu entrego a tradução 100% revisada.

Post by: insolor on January 14, 2016, 04:59:21 am
1. Stringdumps (at least new ones) will be in a "plain-text" format, i.e. it's lines won't be enclosed into pipes ('|' symbols).
2. dfrus.py now supports CSV, but also it still supports the old format. I managed to do it with the Sniffer class from the Python's csv module, which can guess which format of file (delimiter type etc.) it is fed with.
3. For interchange between my utility programs (po2csv.py -> dfrus.py) I will use regular CSV format.

So, have you managed to get translated exe file?
As for translated instruction, I think it's better to place it on bitbucket, where the original instruction is. If you will register on bitbucket, I can give you permissions to edit this wiki. It has markdown syntax.
Another option: I can send you this page as a text file, you'll edit it, and then I'll add it to the wiki.

we could make the translation of the .exe but not shown symbols for accented letters..
we must re-translate everything without putting accent marks to letters?
* for example, in Spanish, redemption is written "redención" .. accented on the "o"
Post by: insolor on February 24, 2016, 04:08:45 pm
I have a question .. there in the Russian accent marks? ("tilde" in spanish) as if it were made to appear?Have you modified the init.txt as said in the instruction? This must solve the problem.

In Russian accent marks are used only in educational books (and dictionaries, of course) or sometimes in sentences when different accent may change the meaning of a sentence.

I'm back in localization of Dwarf Fortress to Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR).
I'm using Transifex that @insolor have created and start make a tool in Java to translate plain texts (*.txt). Starting from easy way. ;D
Maybe continue with uncompressed texts and hardcoded texts. If I understand how to do this.
I created a project in GitHub and the First Release is out.
https://github.com/TioFuna/DFLocalizationTool/releases (https://github.com/TioFuna/DFLocalizationTool/releases)
Some Instructions:
- Pick file 'Dwarf Fortress.exe' to find path base.
- Program will create a folder 'Localization' in path base. All the stuff will be there.
- To Translate, put in folder 'Translation' the PO Files, like downloaded from Transifex (only plain texts)
- localized files will be in folder 'Localized', just copy and paste to path base and/or saved games
- recommended make backups before copy/paste
- To create PO Files, if necessary (@insolor have made yet) to update Transifex.
- put on folder 'PO' the original file names that want get words/lines to be translated
- this action will result in a Plain Text with coded texts, in same folder
Please, send comments and report issues.
For more languages and code pages, send me a message to include them.
Next steps:
-
- Continue translate in Transifex.
- Try include translations with compressed texts and hardcoded texts
Ps1: I'm not a fluent english, I do my best. So, if you find any error, please let me know.
Ps2: I'm starting programming Java and using github, same here, helps are welcome.

But it needs update for languages then Russian, and some instructions need to be written too.

Few errors with portuguese, but no problem, I understand and appreciate your dedication.
I saw the instructions to hardcoded texts, that was very good. I refer to instructions to translate plain texts.
I was waiting for these instruction, and in the meantime I develop my tool. To see if it helped in something and do a bit of programming.
Feel free to translate my tool. Maybe you can create a fork for Spanish.

I still lean on it pretty hard, although I don't expect that level of fiddling from anyone downloading my trash. The most I had was my personal custom "dictionary" as an optional module for the brave. Are there going to be tools that can stomach the 64bit executables?64bit support is planned but it is not at the first place in my list. At first I'm going to do some GUI-thing to simplify applying of translation to the game. Then I need to fix charmap patching for 32bit DF 0.32.04 and newer and check if all other things function well. After that I will try to add support of 64bit executables.

Creating the dictionary.csv wasn't the problem with this code:

py -3 po2csv.py de.po de.csv cp1252I used cp1252 because the german umlauts (ä,ü,ö etc.) Is this codepage works?
Then I want create the patched exe with this: (DF 0.43.03 legacy)

py -3 dfrus.py -p "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -d de.csv --codepage cp1252Unfortunally, I was become this UnicodeDecodeError:

Legacy versions of DF are not supported (in the best case dfrus just will fail to patch charmap table, because there is no such table), only SDL versions are supported.
As for po2csv arguments, dfrus.py currently assumes that csv file is in utf-8 encoding. So the command line must look like this:
Code: [Select]
py -3 po2csv.py de.po de.csv utf-8orCode: [Select]
py -3 po2csv.py de.po de.csv(utf-8 is used by default)As for codepages, the patcher currently supports only a limited range of them: cp437 (natively supported by DF), cp737 (Greek), cp850 (Spanish and Portuguese, if I recall correctly), cp860 (Brazilian Portuguese), cp866 and cp1251 (for Russian and other East European languages). As far as I know, cp437 is suitable for German. If not, there must be added suitable DOS codepage into "codepages" dict in patchdf.py. You can ask me and I will add it.
Post by: ockmonek on September 15, 2016, 03:46:38 am
The legacy-version was the problem. ;)
Now, i can create the patched exe and can use csv in any codepage.
The problem now is the missing codepage for german.
Umlauts are not the right one. See here:

dfrus doesn't work with cp437 (Codepage437 not implemented.Skipping.). i can't try, but i think isn't the right one for german.
the csv with cp1252 looks good. i think thats the right one for the codepages dict.
I would be nice when you could add it.

dfrus doesn't work with cp437 (Codepage437 not implemented.Skipping.). i can't try, but i think isn't the right one for german.
the csv with cp1252 looks good. i think thats the right one for the codepages dict.
I would be nice when you could add it.
Code: [Select]
py -3 po2csv.py de.po de.csv
py -3 dfrus.py -p "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -d de.csvIf it won't work anyway, I'll test and fix it.Update: I've added stub cp437 entry to the codepages dict, so dfrus.py will not complain that cp437 is not implemented anymore. You need to update your local copy of dfrus-py repository.

Don't Mac executables have a "resource fork" that include all of the strings? It might be possible to simply edit that (obviously on a copy of your DF).You mean, make translation for mac version of DF? Currently there's no way to do this.

python po2csv.py po-filename.po dictionary.csv cp850Now dfrus needs utf-8, so codepage in the command must be utf-8. It also can be omitted (utf-8 will be used by default), but you need to update your copy of df-gettext-toolkit.

I still cant fully understand how that "files" work .. how did you find the discrepancy? with what soft?
1 - I tried to run the game with the file you supplied. It hangs on loading of creatures.
2 - I compared original and translated files with comparation tool built-in into Total Commander.
3 - Step by step I reverted changes and tried to run game until it runs normally.
When I found the first CVCT_TARGET/SYN_NAME discrepancy, I tried to revert changes in all similar places.
errorlog.txt doesn't help much, in this case it only complains about "ENT... INP..._BODY: Did not find plural token following NAME".
I don't know how raw files work well, but in this case:
Code: [Select]
[CREATURE:GILA_MONSTER_MAN] - create new creature class
[COPY_TAGS_FROM:GILA_MONSTER] - copy (inherit) all properties from the GILA_MONSTER creature class
[CV_CONVERT_TAG] - convert (repalce) some properties
[CVCT_MASTER:STATE_NAME] - in which tag
[CVCT_TARGET:gila monster] - which text to replace
[CVCT_REPLACEMENT:gila monster man] - which text must be inserted as a replacement
... - the same for other "CV_CONVERT_TAG" blocks
What it does, it replaces "gila monster" with "gila monster man" in such places:
Code: [Select]
[STATE_NAME:ALL_SOLID:frozen gila monster venom]
...
[STATE_NAME:LIQUID:gila monster venom]
...
[STATE_NAME:GAS:boiling gila monster venom]
Post by: insolor on December 19, 2016, 01:02:57 am
Example of usage:
Code: [Select]
python for_translation_dwarf-fortress_raw-objects_ru.po c:\path\to\DF\raw\objects\ cp1251(of course you need to use actual filename, path and encoding)
It makes backups for all files it translates. If there are existing backup files, it tries to translate backup files and replaces .txt files.
There also are scripts for all the other files (eg. raw\objects\text\*, data\speech\* etc.), but I see in some of them hardcoded cp1251 encoding, so I need to fix them before I update instructions.
Post by: Hessed.Elohim on December 19, 2016, 07:45:09 am
Also, some idea of if with that same script one could translate the plain-texts of DF\data\(uncompressed)?
And since we are, although I dont know Russian grammar, I suppose it doesnt look very much like English, did you do something about it? Or for the moment only make a "literal" translation?
Post by: insolor on December 19, 2016, 08:02:51 am
Thank you very much for the info, I didnt know the TotalComander tool as well as your scrip (I dont dig enough hehe). Could that be what @TioFauna used?

And since we are, although I dont know Russian grammar, I suppose it doesnt look very much like English, did you do something about it? Or for the moment only make a "literal" translation?
To unpack/pack compressed files we use a script decode_raw_dwarf_fortress.py (https://github.com/insolor/df_raw_decoder). It is a Python version of analogous script in Perl, which was once posted in this thread. To translate unpacked files there is translate_plain_text.py script in the df-gettext-toolkit repo.
Also there is translate_raws_batch.py script which tries to translate all text files (including uncompressed ones) in the given directory. It works recursively, and can handle such packs as LNP (ie. it translates all included graphical packs at once).
As for grammar: there is another tool - a proxy dll, which intercepts text, which DF passes to SDL_ttf.dll, changes it in some way, and passes it to the SDL_ttf.dll. I posted info about it in this thread earlier: changetext (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=108721.msg4603343;topicseen#msg4603343)
> Could that be what @TioFauna used?
I don't know for sure. If I recall correctly, TioFauna tries to make his own version of toolkit in Java.

I've just found out that in the ChangeTextPy.7z located at https://bitbucket.org/dfint/changetextpy/downloads there is ChangeText.dll which depends on python33.dll, but there is python34.dll instead in the package. I'll fix the package and add some guide how to use it.

How to use: unpack it into DF directory (where Dwarf Fortress.exe is located). All DF 32-bit SDL versions are supported. Run install_fake_ttf.bat. In the init.txt of DF must [PRINT_MODE:2D] and [TRUETYPE:YES].
changetext.py which goes with the package does the following: replaces "Dwarf" with "Human", and reverses order of words in sentences
Code: [Select]
def _ChangeText(s):
# Examples
# Replace 'Dwarf' with 'Human':
s = s.replace('Dwarf', 'Human')
# Reverse words:
s = ' '.join(reversed(s.split()))
return sSpoiler: Screenshot (click to show/hide)
You can do nearly everything as far as you can implement it in Python :)
For example, here is rather complicated changetext.py (https://bitbucket.org/dfint/changetextpy_script/src/tip/changetext.py) script which we use for Russian.
It tries to fix inflection (using Pymorphy2 (https://github.com/kmike/pymorphy2) library) and order of words in sentences, and does some logging for debugging.
P.S. Please notify me if something is not working.

Only two tabs are implemented for now (I posted screenshots of them earlier in this thread).
The second tab is functional, so you can use this tool as a replacement of command-line dfrus-py.
The application remembers state of controls between session. Configuration file is stored in user's home directory (c:\users\username\.df-translate.json), you can remove it manually to restore default settings.
I'm planning to implement the third tab in the future to apply translation to external files of DF. I don't know how long it will take.

* Fixed bug because of which patch worked only with Russian language (thanks to Uğur Öztürk for the report)
* Now you can stop download and patch processes
* Support of a lot of encoding is added. Also, when translation file is chosen in the combobox you see only encodings to which it's possible to encode translation file (i.e. different set of encodings for different languages)
* The program now will show error messages instead of ignoring them. Please, report any errors or problems in this thread or on the issue tracker (https://bitbucket.org/dfint/df-translation-client/issues).

Many thanks @insolor .. I was looking for, and I found that in df-translate.pyw are the "texts" of the app .. I could upload/send u a Spanish version, so that you compile it? (If I remember correctly, can be done as variants of the same project) or if you explain to me how I do it myself.I will try to use gettext (https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/gettext.html) in the application, so it will possible to export text strings as a po file and eg. upload to transifex. For now I think it's too early because the application will change a lot. And also it would be great if someone review and fix English texts of the app before translation to other languages.

As for long complex sentences (eg. in combat log), now they are looking rather ugly in Russian, even when they fit into one line, but we are working on it. I also tried to transfer some morphological information from each current line to the further line, but the result is still far from ideal.
I don't know what's the problem with the masterwork mark in your case. In case of Russian translation it is broken because it has the same code as Russian letter р (r) in cp1251. I'm thinking of using cp866 instead. In your case I don't see any reason why it could be broken.

This is a type hint. Type hints in Python are supported since Python 3.3 as far as I remember. The code itself was tested on Python 3.4
Btw. I see you use "bleeding edge" dfrus, so I must warn you that it's usage is changed:
1. Say, you download it as dfrus.zip
2. You must install it with pip install dfrus.zip (I suppose it must be pip3 install dfrus.zip on Linux)
3. Then you can use it from any directory like this:
python -m dfrus.dfrus -p "d:\Games\df_43_05_win32_s\Dwarf Fortress.exe" -n "Dwarf Fortress develop.exe" --debug -d trans_utf8.csv --codepage cp1251

Df translation client uses the same dfrus-py tool which is mentioned in the instruction. It doesn't matter how you use dfrus-py - directly or from df translation client, it doesn't support 64 bit DF anyway.

Hi.. I have this message:Simple answer: there is Unicode character \u222b (https://unicode-table.com/en/222B/) (∫) in Spanish translation which is not representable in cp819 (or any 1-byte encoding which why you get empty encoding combo box).Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Perfect.. how do u find the wrong string?At first, I've searched "Unicode 222b" in Google, then I've searched the character I found in translation text for the Spanish language. That's all.

Im looking into Brazillian translations and already did a tutorial on how to use the dftranslate for the translations, but i didnt understood how we can put the uncompressed one, is it not ready yet or there is another app for it?As for uncompressed files, this functionality is temporarily switched off in the df-translation-client because I planned to make it unpack files in memory instead of writing temporary files on disk. I'm going to work on it in the future (I don't know how soon it will be though).

Anyone who can help me interpret this error?
It appears when I want to load the file: "hardcoded_en.po"
Thank you

I've migrated all the repositories (including my personal ones) to Github because I used the Mercurial version control system instead of Git,
and Bitbucket had announced that they will discontinue support of Mercurial soon (Sunsetting Mercurial support in Bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org/blog/sunsetting-mercurial-support-in-bitbucket)).
I had decided that it is easier to migrate to Github (and convert the repos to Git during the migration) since Bitbucket doesn't have tools to convert repos from Mercurial to Git in place.
Also, Github is more convenient then Bitbucket for my taste.
The new home of the project is https://github.com/dfint
Repositories on Bitbucket will exist at most until June 2020.
Second, I've started to write a new patch that will support new DF versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit).
I don't know how long it will take to get it working, probably a few months.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Well, it seems that combo box of available encodings is empty, probably because the application doesn't know which encodings to use for English :)
I'll try to fix all the problems with the client after the new patch is in the working state (more or less).

there is noneTo be clear: transifex is a place where the translation is performed, but actually there is no DF with the translation applied on this site. And I don't even know if someone tried to do this for the German language. Though you can participate in the translation: translation to German is at about 49% ready.

Just an idea -- for the == lines, which you said should be made so that the replacement is the same length as the original, is it perhaps possible to insert null characters into the replacement to allow the replacement to be shorter than the original?There are no more == marks. As far as I remember, as of 2016, there were very few places, where length mattered.

While I could do some work on the german translation I have no idea (even after reading this old and long thread) if it would ever work reasonably.
Does anyone have experience with applying the translation except for the russion version which apparently does work?
I'm afraid there might be difficulties with grammar leading to ridiuclous results.
And what will Umlauts be a problem, because we have plenty of words with "special" characters in German (äöü and our favorite: ß). I guess, if it manages with cyrillic it should work, right?

Hi all. I am unsure if I should contribute to the translation efforts at transifex.CP437 as i seen, has german fonts. So your language shouldn't be problem.

But unfortunately polish fonts are missing. I don't know how actually you guys change fonts to cyrillic, but when i tried load polish translation (not complete yet), game throw some weird signs. I am using cp1250 coding. I decided to change fonts directly in game png image and it worked for me. Of course some of these characters is using in game, but if you are using textures, it doesn't matter at all. For anybody, who wants use it:
go to data/art and paste there this image instead of curses_640x300.png

I have an announcement
I live in Russia, and as you know, Russia is waging a war of aggression against Ukraine. And a few days ago, mobilization was announced. At any moment, I can be taken to the war. I will resist it as much as possible, but I am not immune from it.
Let's hope for the best, but in case of "unforeseen circumstances" I give full administrative rights to https://github.com/dfint github organization to these two people: Hessed.Elohim, TioFuna
Love ya all, guys

I am an amateur Italian translator and I am trying to transpose all the information I can about the possibility of translating independently this wonderful game. I've read about the resources on GitHub but following the instructions I can't convert the .po file to CSV nor did I understand if I'm actually translating the correct thing.
I have read that basically the translation is based on extracting the files from the game executable, but can I do this myself via a tool or not? I'm available to talk to someone who is handling this, even in another language to exchange opinions or whatever, maybe on Discord or here if I don't clog too much :)
I thank you as of now!
Post by: Hessed.Elohim on October 31, 2022, 01:50:51 am
I am very sorry for the situation, I hope you are well, and I am waiting for your news.
My situation, a bit complicated too, currently living in Syria (because of that my disconnection situation).
I thank you in advance for your trust and I will do everything in my power to keep all your efforts alive.
Tight hug.
Cheers. :-*

I would go on, but can someone tell me if it work in the new version which we get next week?We never know before a new release (any release, not only the steam release), if the old tools will still work on it. So, no predictions.

He found out about it now that we were trying to test if everything worked fine with the latest conversion programs.
We set up python and gettext, then we converted the translation file, but it appears like the steam_hook doesn't apply it even though they are present; are there any known issues similar to this? We checked the final translation file and the words are indeed translated, just not applied.
The game results half English/half translated as if it was missing words and whole sentences, this was more evident by trying to follow the tutorial.

As an example here we have the sentence #2025 that is "To change the camera's elevation, press ","Per cambiare la quota della visuale premi ", the hook only "hooks" the word "the" turning it correctly into "la", the rest remains unchanged.
I hope to hear from you soon, and wish to thank you for all the work you're doing for us with this piece of software, issues aside. Strike the Earth!

Allerdings brauchen die Übersetzer auf der Seite wo die Übersetzungsdatei her kommt noch Hilfe alle restlichen Worte zu übersetzen.
Manches wurde übersetzt aber dafür falsch oder dort steht nut das es übersetzt wurde aber dann isses trotzdem auf englisch.
Here is an video how to translate DwarfFortress in German. Its Easy
Problem is that not many people work on the translation.

Hey Insolor, I hope you are well, I finally managed to translate the hardcoded_steam.po with help from Luca_PolyZen but unfortunately both of us are having issues applying the translation.

Hey all and ciao Crongdyne, I'm also from Italy and I've checked the Italian translation available. However, after trying it out it feels as piecemeal as your screen from last year showed, not gonna lie. Any chances I could pick it up again and possibly fill in its gaps? I hope to hear back from you, or from insolor (who appears to be still active -ish... despite the war and s**t). 8)
