This article deals with the localisation/translation of both TDM itself, as well as Fan Missions.
The I18N support in TDM will only work with v1.07 or newer.
TDM Core
- 90%
- All the strings in the menu, the HUD, the in-game messages, the different menus as well as inventory item names and categories have been made translatable.
- The bitmaps in the various menus where converted to text, except the huge headers (these use a different font, which we not yet have).
- The default Doom3 english.lang has been slimmed down (from >5400 to 200 entries), then all the nec. strings for TDM have been added, including a lot of sensible default strings that are either useful or used in FMs (like names for inventory items, speaker names and so on), resulting in nearly 1000 entries.
- There is a I18N.pl script which can convert old FMs into I18N capable FMs, even matching different translations.
- Both the 0xff character bug, as well as the problem that choiceDefs do not work have been worked around.
- Translations complete for English, Italian, Czech and German. Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian are incomplete. Polish is missing, as are any other languages.
TODO
- Adding accented and Umlaut characters to the Carleton main bitmap font
- I18N PK4 files need automatic download support.
- Find more people who can contribute translations – maybe make it easier by creating a website where anyone can contribute translations for individual strings, ala launchpad?
FM List
