[quote=“shadenight123, post:20, topic:2072”]I can translate the Game in Italian, since it’s my mother tongue.  
But I have no idea how to get around to Github so…where do I pick the game files for translation purposes?[/quote]  
Easiest is to use Launchpad. Go to [https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda](https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda), register a launchpad account, and start translating :). You can also download and upload the translation files there if you would prefer to use an external program.

I’ve put up a pull request to add it to the github repo: [https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3637](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/3637).

It should carry over to [https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda](https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda) with the next .pot file update.

Hello.

I would like to translate the game into Vietnamese, can you add a vi.po file so I can start translating it on Launchpad?

My thanks in advance. 🙂

Don’t need to add one, you can just tell Launchpad what language you want to translate into and it adds it for you :).

Then the next time translations are pulled from Launchpad it will come along onto github as well.

Thanks, I thought it was more complicated than that. I will start translate it right away then.

Cheers

Edit: I’ve started the translation (trunk series). For anyone interested, it’s located here: [https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda/trunk/+pots/cataclysm-dda/vi/+translate](https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda/trunk/+pots/cataclysm-dda/vi/+translate)

Feel free, it should all be coordinated thru Launchpad now, so just add some translations at whatever pace suits :).

Yes. I have seen that commit. Please, just ignore that file it in python extractor.

OR… I have great idea. May be we should create another .pot file only with names?

I think handling names separately so each language can add as many or as few as they want might be a good idea. A separate file not handled by gettext, maybe. Like “data/names/.json” or something.

But for now I’m gonna tell the extractor to ignore the world names.

Hello, guys.

I’m new in the community and I’m a member of a small group which is willing to contribute for the pt-br (Brazilian Portuguese) translation that has 0% translated so far. For now, our goal is to finish translating by the end of next week.

So, just a heads up that we’ll start it tomorrow morning!  
If no one minds, of course! 🙂

</div>

that is a big goal 😉

by the way, i recommend not translating any names yet, as we’re changing the way we handle them. So anything from “json\_names.py” feel free to ignore for now.
