Russian translate

[node49]

Hi!
I started to update russian translation to serve FreeOrion 0.4 but i`m not sure i can finish it soon. It is over one half done. Anyway, something is better than nothing

I wil try to update translation as fast as i can.

Here is also rus stringtable file for build 4857 and 4890. It is not all translated strings accepted by the game, I don`t know why. Some strings still in default English but should be already Russian.

Great.

You might want to avoid translating strings that have to do with population, farming or health, since these areas are undergoing revision right now.

I`ve just opened for myself a "Latest Test Builds" link ! I guess there is no any reason to finish 0.4 rus_stringtable file but to update latest build rus_stringtable. I started to do it but i`ve got a question about race descriptions. Strings like

Code: Select all

[[AVERAGE_MINING]]

should be a kind of variable?

True.

It is a macro. You don't need to do anything to what is inside the brackets: [[ ]]
It will be replaced with text defined toward the bottom of the stringtable:

Code: Select all

AVERAGE_MINING
'''      Average Mining: 100%'''

What is inside the ''' ''' will in the game replace the [[ ]].

Now it is ready adopted to SVN4857 rus_stringtable file. Translation still not complete, but macroses should work correctly.

BTW, I`ve found record in str.5325 is it correct?

Code: Select all

GROWTH_SHORT_DESC
Improves Farming

File updated - it is in the first post now.

Growth, population and farming stuff are still in the middle of transition. That string will need to be changed, like many others.

I just downloaded build 4890, but it is still old translate for game version 0.3 inside. How can i update Russian translate file for the builds? Can i just regularly update first message here?

BTW:

Code: Select all

SLOW_ROTATION_SPECIAL_DESC
'''Construction on this planet is decreased by 20.

This planet rotates about its axis very slowly, causing very long days and nights. Infrastructure growth and food production are reduced.'''

I guess "and food production" is superfluous .

Updating existing messages doesn't put the change at the top of the new posts list, so it might be missed...
