(Review Completed) [SP] Red Tide

[Mikero]

Jeez I'm good to you

the only thing stopping you using Pongolian is the incredibly
simple problem that 'Pongolian' is not listed as a language in the OFP preferences gui

ALL you have to do is edit the flashpoint.cfg file in the main flashpoint folder with notepad and change

Language="Pongolian";

in this case 'pongolian' = Portuguese

simply name your overview and briefing as per .Pongolian.html etc etc

in the csv file (you are using a csv file n'est pas?) add the obvious

LANGUAGE,English,French,Italian,Spanish,German,Comment
=

LANGUAGE,English,French,Italian,Spanish,German,Pongolian,Comment

then, naturally, and of course, add pongolian to each of your strings.

no applause please, just throw money

That's true, Mikero, but, then someone has to do a translation for every line in the stringtable.csv that is located in the bin folder.  And that's a lot of stuff to translate.

THANKS MIKERO!!!!!!!!!!
All Hail Mikero!!! \o/

Now I can use my own Briefings...in Portuguese. The most beautiful and wonderful language in this world!

Well yeah thats a lot of stuff to translate but not impossible, just assemble a team of translators and it's easy...
I guess ofp.brasil.com have translated that... to bad they speak portuguese but in a brazilian way that is different to the REAL portuguese...

Well again thanks... cya mates take care

Let's stay on topic, shall we?

fortunately that's not your problem , it's a project separate to red tide, but the engine will default to the first language string found if it can't find the equivalent. As far as your portuguese version stands all you have to do is copy/paste the already done STRN_ 's in the portuguese version back into your 'standard' pbo and you will get exactly same result as if just playing you're specialised language pbo but without the agony of maintaining two branches.

The bin csv isn't that big actually, it's mostly single words and only has to be done once, forever more. If pt wanted to do it (and he should), it's a separate thing but a nice touch for the future.

Mikero, I am saying stop this stuff about Stringtables, it doesn't belong in this board!

[Pilot]

@MachoMan
Forgive me if I am wrong, but isn't Mikero helping me with a certain aspect of the mission?  I do have a stringtable in my mission, and Mikero is giving me suggestions to make it better.

@macho

of course it belongs here, it directly relates to Pilots use of TWO pbo's and a suggestion on how to improve it into a single one.

[MachoMan]

This board is for suggesting improvements, short explanations perhaps, but not for page long discussions about editing. Editing topics go in the editing boards.

Well translations for me... well NO WAY!!!! I have so many projects pending and now the biggest one (see signature)... its too big to translate IMHO!!

@Topic
Student Pilot as soon as I can Ill try to test this version... hehe
As soon my tests finish and I deliver all my paperworks Ill do it!!!

Take care lads

I'm backing out of this, Macho is the moderator and has to be respected.

I believe he's wrong because, as a moderator he hasn't time to delve into the mission proper but only glance, as he has to do, at the subject material of hundreds of messages.

If you need to Student P, we'll continue this via PM, but it probably isn't necessary.

No further comment please.

[THobson]

Bit of over zealous moderating if you ask me.

[Pilot]

Ok, I am heeding Mikero's advice.  He and I will discuss this through messaging seeing as this kind of help is not allowed here.

[MachoMan]

You are always free to start a topic in the editing boards.

[MachoMan]

Well I have been overruled, apearently you are allowed to discuss editing topics in here, so feel free to continue to do so, as long as it's in relation to the beta mission at hand, ofcourse.
