Introduction
The script fm_translate.pl separates the main FM data from all the texts and other assets that need to be changed in order for translation.
Requirements
- Perl. For Windows, use Strawberry Perl.
- The script and a few modules, bundled together at Bloodgate.
Usage
On a console (a "DOS Window" under Windows):
perl fm_translate.pl --english fms/outpost/outpost.pk4 --french fms/avant_poste.pk4
The output packages will be created under output, as:
output/outpost.pk4 output/outpost_i18n.pk4
The FM dictionaries
Once the script is finished, it will replace as much hard-coded strings like "Silver Key" with string temlates like "#str_20000" and place these in a FM-specific dictionary. These dictionaries are put into a sep. PK4 file under the directory strings/fm/.
See here for examples and how to translate these files.
