10 | Thank you for checking out Polyglot. Start localizing your game, using this human translated resource for the basics. Once you have a game with a budget, improve on your base with more professional translation services. Polyglot aims to be a solid launchpad for indiedevs to start localizing their games, starting with Menus and Settings. No complex phrases, no word combining, only structures like Health : 3 are supported. This crowdsourced document is available free of charge. It can be used for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Credit and attribution are appreciated, but not required. CC0 Zero Copyright You are encouraged to contribute (see Contributing, below). Users, be warned that the quality and accuracy of the translations provided are not 100% guaranteed. If you have questions, comments or suggestions then leave a comment on this page at the very bottom, or write to karmakallio at gmail. | |||||||||
11 | HOW TO USE THIS DOC | |||||||||
12 | You can copy-paste strings from this doc into your game, but it is preferable to download this doc and parse through it in your game code. "Download As" this document as a CSV/TSV/XLS file and integrate that into your game. You can also convert it to XML with OpenOffice or Excel after downloading it. NOTE: When you start integrating this file into your game you might want to remove this "About" tab and the "Translator FAQ" tab, BUT ONLY AFTER DOWNLOADING THE FILE! | |||||||||
13 | When you want to display a given string in-game, find it using the STRING ID in the leftmost column and then offsetting to the right X number of times. If your user switches languages then you'll still search for the same STRING ID, but with a different offset. | |||||||||
14 | Be warned that some languages might treat gender and singular/plural differently. By default most strings are masculine & singular ("actor"), other genders/numbers ("actresses") will be created separately. | |||||||||
15 | Thirdparty Tools for using the sheets should be appearing soon! | |||||||||
16 | CONTRIBUTING | |||||||||
17 | ANYBODY CAN COMMENT : Optimally the comment should be just the word and nothing else. If it is a correction, you may explain it more if you want to. Each page has a space at the bottom for adding questions not regarding a specific word. Comments are not meant to stay on the document, but be resolved as fast as possible. DO NOT COMMENT ON THE MASTER SHEET AT THE END. It gets regenerated from time to time. | |||||||||
18 | BECOME A CONTRIBUTOR: Request directly through the page, or send a message to @polyglotgamedev on Twitter, and I'll give you permission to edit and add to the doc. You'll need a Google Account. Most often this is a Gmail address, but you can also create a Google account using an existing third-party email. | |||||||||
19 | ADDING NEW TEXT : CURRENTLY AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH TAB IS AN AREA TO ADD STRINGS. Something missing? Add a new row in the relevant tab, and write a STRING ID, a description and the string in your language of choice. Your STRING ID is must be unique! So check to make sure your new STRING ID doesn't already exist elsewhere, even in another tab. Use regular caps ("Continue"), do not use all caps ("CONTINUE"). If you think a separate all-caps version is needed, add it separately. Do not use commas ' , ' as they break csv export. Each tab has its own prefix for STRING IDs. So when you add a new string, make sure the string id starts with "MENUS_", "GAMEPLAY_" or whatever everything else in the tab does too. This makes them easier to search for. | |||||||||
20 | ||||||||||
21 | EDITING EXISTING TEXT : PLEASE DO IT VIA COMMENTS! : As we have reached a strong core set, we ask that you resolve changes to the existing set via Comments : so that another editor of that language can verify and if necessary converse on the change. Someone made a typo or vandalism? If you're sure it needs fixing, go ahead. If you're unsure, leave a comment. If you want to change a string just to make it sound better, consider making a new string instead. For example, don't replace "You've lost!" with "You lose!"... make a new string instead! No harm in having both. | |||||||||

24 | ADDING A NEW LANGUAGE : CONSULT ADMINS FIRST Note the sheet already has more than 25 languages, but we are focusing our efforts on the 25 languages supported by Steam. ADDING NEW STRINGS : AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IS A SPACE FOR FUTURE ADDS. PLEASE DO NOT INSERT NEW STRINGS INTO THE MAIN AREA, AS WE HAVE NEARLY COMPLETED 1.0 | |||||||||
