C2C Italian translation

[Hale_9204]

In the end I did it like B because I think that it's better to always find an order, at least for the 5 main languages.

Anyway I finished text in the captive folder, it's updated to the last SVN

 

[n47]

Whom can I kill for encoding errors in Assets\Modules\Custom_Religions\Sikh\Sikh_CIV4GameText.xml in the Italian translationl?

 

[Hale_9204]

I "suppose" the fault is mine.

What do you mean by encoding error? When I loaded the game I had no errors

 

[n47]

That, the game loads does not mean everything is correct. Many "XML readers" including this in c2c do not check, if the encoding is ok. XML by default should be encoded with UTF-8. Open the file in Notepad++, switch encoding to UTF8 without BOM and correct all black fields.

 

[Hale_9204]

so something like this is correct (see the pic)? also what do you mean by "black fields"? I changed the encoding, but other than that nothing changed

 

[n47]

Take the file I pointed. The problem are national letters. English letters will be correct in both ASCII and UTF8 encodings.

 

[Hale_9204]

So, what I have to do is basically to replace characters like à,è,ò and so on with something like "& #224;" (without the space inside) and so on?

No. Switch to UTF8 without BOM and replace black fields with ordinary à,è,ò. Then save. Notepad++ will know the encoding is different and will put proper utf8 codes for those characters, not the ASCII ones.

 

[Azurian]

There is also a convert to UTF-8 without BOM

 

[n47]

There is also a convert to UTF-8 without BOM

It can be unsafe. If there is another text in the file, which contain specific utf-8 characters, like there is already German translation with ö which is already utf8, those symbols will become corrupted.

 

[Hale_9204]

sorry but I'm still a bit confused on what to do.

How exactly can I switch the encoding of a file? I tried it the way Mr Azure said (both convert to UTF-8 and Encode in UTF-8) and then I saved, but after I reloaded the enconding was still ANSI.

Or do I have to change

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ?

 

[n47]

If you are changing the encoding to UTF8 without BOM, editors may be not able to distinguish it from ASCII. -- Especially if there is no national letters. Without national letters UTF8 without BOM and ASCII are identical.

You may put <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> -- it is optional. And don't use "convert to UTF-8", just switch to it and correct the black places. The conversion can break national letters in other translations, which are already in an xml.

 

[Hale_9204]

Another set of translations done

The encoding is UTF-8 without BOM, from now on I will always change the encoding in the files I translate. These files are all in DH's folder, I just haven't translated the files that are not actually working in the game (for example, from Sevo_FacesofGod)

[Hale_9204]

Basically, every file I uploaded last time =(

I think I have done some kind of systematical error, so I will correct the files and in the end run the validator, to see if everuthing is ok

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Thanks. I could not see why they were errors but then I am dyslexic and sometime have trouble telling the difference between b, d, p and q.

Thanks. I could not see why they were errors but then I am dyslexic and sometime have trouble telling the difference between b, d, p and q.

I get them when i look at Notepad ++ but not with regular Notepad.

 

[Hale_9204]

It took me a while, but in the end I've been able to finish the fixes. I fixed the errors I found and I also translated a few new files. In the attachment, thre's also the file I got after running the validator

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

Thanks.

 

[olduser]

I get this then i try to open files with the recently added translations. Also the Xerces Parser doesn't like this at all i can't even start the game. There are Windows-1252 characters in those files they must be converted to Utf8. I mean not the whole files they are already Utf8 just some characters are wrong.

Cannot open the specified file: Got a character encoding exception.
File encoding (UTF8) does not support all characters from the current file.
To ignore these errors or to replace invalid characters follow the link below to change the "Encoding errors handling" option value from REPORT to IGNORE or REPLACE.
