From c2ad3d3b97fc8380e34b39ae40276af41ac7db94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dav999 Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2023 02:21:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify translators and programmers READMEs The top of the programmers readme now says that you need the translators readme to translate the game into a new language. Also, since language file syncing now works to populate an empty language folder, document that in the translators readme as well. --- desktop_version/lang/README-programmers.txt | 4 +++- desktop_version/lang/README-translators.txt | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/desktop_version/lang/README-programmers.txt b/desktop_version/lang/README-programmers.txt index 019ae7bf..ecaf5ee7 100644 --- a/desktop_version/lang/README-programmers.txt +++ b/desktop_version/lang/README-programmers.txt @@ -1,6 +1,8 @@ === I N T R O D U C T I O N === -This file will explain what you need to know when maintaining translations of VVVVVV (like adding new strings and syncing them across languages). +This file will explain what you need to know when maintaining translations of VVVVVV (like adding new strings to the game and syncing them across languages). + +For making new translations of the game, read README-translators.txt instead. diff --git a/desktop_version/lang/README-translators.txt b/desktop_version/lang/README-translators.txt index 29d04c8d..6e9959d1 100644 --- a/desktop_version/lang/README-translators.txt +++ b/desktop_version/lang/README-translators.txt @@ -16,6 +16,8 @@ The English language files are basically templates for other languages (all the To create a new language, simply copy the `en` folder, and start by filling out meta.xml (further explained below). +Alternatively, you can create an empty language folder, and then use the in-game sync tool (translator > maintenance > sync language files) to populate it. + === E X C E L ===
