Language settings and missing mail texts

(1/2) > >>

antib:
 I need extra help with language settings.
 My OS - Debian Lenny, I tried compilling the game (v2.2) and executable package from ufoai.sf.net and both times got a same problem.
 My mother tongue is Russian. In game options there are two choices for a language - "Russian" and "No language". When I choose Russian I can't see any mail from ufo crash sites and all equipment lists in buy/sell dialogs look like this:

Assult Rifle| Assu
lt Rifle Magazine| F
lamethrower|C
90 Canister|Sh
otgun|Shotgun Shells|
Rocket Launcher

except these words are in Russian (which doesn't help cause HE Rocket in this list in fact is a Rocket Launcher or smth like that).

When I choose "No language" item list looks correct (in English), but all mail reports shown like a "laserrifle.txt".
I tried editing cvar in cfg file in ~/.ufoai , launching the game with LANG=ru or LANG=en prefixes but it made no difference.

I would be content playing in English-only so I replaced ufoai.mo in /ru folder with the compilled en.po. It made the game look properly (though entirely in English).

What should I do to add both Russian and English languages into the game?

Mattn:
i'm not sure whether the translation for russian is complete (either in 2.2 or in 2.3) - you can help to complete the missing texts - see http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Translating

you can also try to sync the po file from 2.2 with the current wiki state (there is a script for this in src/po) - i'm sure that a lot of new articles were translated since 2.2 was released.

Kildor:
There was a bunch of language-i18n-l10n-translation bugs in 2.2, and it was almost impossible to play russian version.

But I know no bugs in this area in 2.3.

About translation status: there are near 45 notranslated articles left. And something about 7% of other strings (tips of the day and some menu-GUI labels)

geever:
If you wanna play in English, add it to your system locales. Edit /etc/locale.gen, add the following line then run locale-gen (as root).

--- Code: ---en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8

--- End code ---

antib:
Thanks for your answers, I will read locale related manuals.

Do U mean that there are no bugs in items lists or 100% completed translation in v2.3?
