Russian speaking pilots / Топик русскоязычных пилотов

It might be because the double-quotes ( " ) in the original english version got translated into “”, between double-quotes.

So basically, the font line ends up being:

“UI_Font_Main_Name”,""“Impact”""

… while it should be:

UI_Font_Main_Name,“Impact”

Might have something to do with the .csv export settings.

Note: haven’t tried that file in game yet, so it’s only an assumption at this point.

Hi excellent ! But it doesn’t work :frowning: I also changed the quotation marks and that I just didn’t change it, shoot the video, how you add these files, and then the final result.

The csv was exported via this function I copied from the previous spredsheet (it’s in the A1 cell):
=HYPERLINK(“https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tM2oP6xtISomlFkhyo4oxytNC1tRrCo1pvIGKd6m4Z8/gviz/tq?tqx=out:csv;outFileName:Strings.csv&sheet=Strings&headers=0&range=A2:B&tq=select A,B where B is not null”;“hash (Download CSV)”)

I tried using Notepad (Ctrl+c / Ctrl-+v), but the resulting csv crashes the game at startup if dispached:

With Excel, Notepad and Google.Sheets I did not find any “”, they all look like double-quotes to me.


Find and Replace tools can’t find “” either.

Basically, I imported the English Strings.csv into a MS Excel Spreadsheet, then copied the edited content into a copy of this Google doc:


…and changed the link in the HYPERLINK function, that was it. The exported csv along with meta.xml and the font (a standart one, but, just in case) were placed into “…/Dev/Localization/ru/” folder.

the difference is immediately visible in the notebook.

So the problem was indeed the triple quotes.

If you just search & replace “”" into " it will work.

I also adjusted a bit the font scale and offset. Here’s a working file:

ru 0.6.7.0.rar (117.7 KB)

I can include this translation in the next patch.

One problem remains: some of the text UI is too long and doesn’t fit its button / box. In some cases I can extend a little bit the width of the element, but in some locations I won’t be able to, so the russian text has to be shortened a little bit.

Thank you!

I’ve found out what I was doing wrong. I left quoutes in the spreadsheet, so the HYPERLINK formed a bad file. So does any tempering with it via Notepad.

Shortened some text to make everithing fit:

Got the update, thank you.

One final thing I’m noticing in your file is that you have a bunch of #ERROR ( non translated ) strings in your file. Ex.: Server_Bounty_Collected_Footer, Server_Destroyed_Module_FighterSpawn_Footer_Self, and pretty much all modules.

Thank you guys, they became clearer, some technical terms, and quick messages. It remains to fix the interface, make it more attractive. And implement it all in the next patch.

Those are probably MS Excel function’s errors that showed up after I had findreplaced all the quotes out and were carelessly copied into the Google doc. I’ll fix this and post another update.

…Nope, it’s quite the opposite: MSEx handles those quouteless +$(Arg1) just fine

it’s Google.Sheets that tries to make formuae out of them

Here goes the solution - apostrophes!

Fixed the “#ERROR” issue and picked a new font (not tested in game):
0.6.7.0_RU_fixed_new_font.rar (28.5 KB)

In case the “new font” looks even worse:
0.6.7.0_RU_fixed.rar (90.0 KB)

Yes, everything works, in places the font is clumsy, and does not fit. Not everything has been translated, but progress has already been made. thank you.

Итак, думаю, со шрифтами на этом этапе поиграть уже может каждый. ИНСТРУКЦИЯ:
Сделайте копию этой таблицы в гуглдоках:

Замените ссылку в функции, выгружающей итоговый файл (hash_Download_CSV в первой ячейке).

Правьте что хотите, выгружайте Strings.csv и кидайте его в папку “…/Dev/Localization/ru/”.
meta.xml для Russian есть в архивах, выложенных выше. Или не в папку “ru” - её вскоре начнёт переписывать при обновлении. Если хотите свою собственную локализацию, создайте отдельную папку, например “ru2” (с бэкапом, всё лишнее, скорее всего, при накатке патча удаляется) и измените в ней двустрочный meta.xml - его можно править блокнотом без последствий, например:
%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5
UPD: а, нет. Русский как таковой, я таким образом добавил, но русский-2 (чтобы шрифты на ходу переключать) работать не пожелал.
UPD.UPD: осознал свою ошибку: нельзя добавлять новые коды и имена папок, только те, что уже имеются в игре, например, используя fr, я таки добавил второй перевод.
%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%BE%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5

НЕ ПЫТАЙТЕСЬ править Strings.csv блокнотом - будут баги со шрифтами или краш игры при запуске - изменения вносите в таблицу и выгружайте файл локализации кликом по первой ячейке.

Игру для применения локализации перезапускать необязательно. Файл подружается всякий раз, когда меняешь язык в настройках (сменили на English, альттабнулись в папку, поменяли Strings.csv - можно возвращаться к исправленному переводу).
UPD: тоже оказался не совсем прав. На ходу можно менять текст, но настройки шрифта загружаются только на старте. Поэтому для сменить/подогнать - перезапускаем.

Шрифт задаётся первыми четырьмя строками: имя, путь, сдвиг (вниз < 0 < вверх), масштаб

hash (Download CSV) by Players (100%)
UI_Font_Main_Name Impact
UI_Font_Main_Path $Dev/Localization/ru/impact.ttf
UI_Font_Vertical_Offset 0.05
UI_Font_Scale 0.9

Hi, great work, thank you. Everything works, of course it is necessary to refine, but I think the next patch will already have official localization.

Picked two fonts. Both have their upsides and downsides, both make target name in the upper-right corner of the HUD barely readable. I prefer the first one, Mars Type - tooltips, chat and weapons read better with it, though the main menu items aren’t fancy.

0.6.7.0_RU_fixed_Mars_Type.rar (43.1 KB)
0.6.7.0_RU_fixed_Arturito_Slab.rar (58.2 KB)

Both are free - Mars Type is under SIL Open Font License, and here’s the official link for downloading Arturito along with its EULA: http://bit.ly/2TcJga5

Couple more edits. Definitely going with Mars Type.

Пришлите английский Strings.csv - я самоизолируюсь вдали от своего игрового компа, но готов обновлять перевод.

Someone send me the English Strings.csv - I’m self-isolating away from my gaming PC, but am up to updating the localization.

Thanks. Unfortunately it seems to contain numerous errors ( dozens, with duplicated event names instead of a translation, like: “UI_Event_Music”,“UI_Event_Music” ) so I cannot include it in the next build until it gets tested & fixed.
