Angelica_B Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hello all, my name is Angelica and I am writing my Master's degree dissertation on video game translation. I have already translated some strings of 0 A.D. into Italian on Transifex (I have brought translation almost to 100%), but to give a wider range of translatable assets, I would like to translate some parts of the website too. Of course, it would be only for academic purposes and I would quote the game and the developers, but I would like your permission. Thank you in advance.

Silier Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 hello @Angelica_B, thank you for the interest, for the main page, I dont think it has multilingual options or how it is build even to allow one easily ( @wraitii who has access there?) but if you want some texts which would be easily accessible, you can find something here https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/0adManual I think someone would need to make copy of the pages for the separate language so please let us know if you choose something (then you would need just to create account there) however if you don't plan to publish your work on our servers as contribution, main page content is released under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ so as long as you follow the license, it is ok.

wraitii Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Negative, I don't have access to the wordpress blog. I think you'll have to talk to @Stan`when he gets back from holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelica_B Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thank you very much to everyone. Actually, I wanted to translate some parts of the manual, but I see that it's already done in Transifex. But if you say that I could translate some pages from this link https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/0adManual, I'll choose something from there. I don't know if I understood properly. Should I create an account there and wait for @Stan` to have access to the text? Of course, I won't publish my dissertation and I will follow the license. In any case, could it be possible to review some old translated strings in Transifex, if I notice some misspellings, for example?

Silier Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 after creating account on the wiki, you should be able to create the language variations of the pages by yourself. The way it works, you try to enter page which currently does not exist and it will give you option to create one, for that I would advise open original page, go to edit mode, copy content, close, open new wanted page, click create since does not exist, paste copied content, save, and then you can translate and dont worry about style (or just ping me, I ll copy it) For startes I have created initial one https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Translation_IT/wiki for you, when you will be translating subpages, you would need to edit the links to them on this one manually. about transifex, you should be able to edit any string that have not been checked by controllers, if you want to become controller for the language so you can review and lock translated strings (or edit already reviewed strings), let us know explicitly, because I am not sure which action you want to perform.

Angelica_B Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thank you, Agen! As far as Transifex is concerned, I will review only the unreviewed strings for now. I will tell you if I want to be a controller in the future. For the wiki page, I understood how to edit the page, but not how to create a new one.

Silier Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 for that you need to be logged in and basicly you type url where you want the new page to be for example https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Translation_IT/somepage and it should give you option to create one @feneur can you unlock post limit for Angelica_B? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that translating the Strategy Guide is pointless, I volunteer to translate or to check other parts (on Transifex or elsewhere) that are needed to be translated. Tell me what is more urgent for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwtour Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 3 minutes ago, Angelica_B said: translating the Strategy Guide is pointless There are two parts - one is a literary text, the second is a structured part with numbers from the game. It makes no sense to translate only the second. Free text will be relevant for a long time. Translate long blocks of text, and I'll try to write a converter to the wiki format that will generate a table with numbers from the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica_B Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Sorry if I didn't get it, but I was confused by the other link you posted. So I should translate everything but the part you highlighted (Buildings and Basic Military), right? Should I simply omit it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwtour Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 19 minutes ago, Angelica_B said: Should I simply omit it? Yes, I suggest just skipping the table comparing buildings and units (do not waste time on translation). If you translate nothing bad happens, the data will simply become outdated over time Within a few days I will try to suggest the correct way to automatically create it right away in Italian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwtour Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 @Angelica_B It's problematic to create a wiki page here. Created on github.https://nwtour.github.io/compare-0ad/it.html Data taken from game settings, translation from transifex. I think you can add a link to your translation - for those who want to know the differences in factions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
