Translating BeamNG.Drive - Feedback Thread

So there are still 2 Simplified Chinese translations and a new problem:
I have ask some people to help me, but they are just keep trolling and using translators, and somehow now the translation got locked, I can't edit it anymore somehow, and there are still tons of s**tty translations left behind. Any idea for offering some help?
--- Post updated ---
And yeah, I would like to contribute directly and be responsible for Simplified Chinese translation since I'm a native Chinese speaker and I can also speak English fluently since I have learned it for more than 5 years. I am a member of BeamNG forum for nearly a year and quite familiar with the game.

 

Because the translation contexts page has not been completed yet, I've created a small script in python for creating a new language file with string identifiers from the game. You can use this language file in the game for showing string identifiers directly in GUI.

Steps:
1) Install python 3
2) Save this script as python file (*.py)

Code:

import json

input_dict = json.loads(open("en-US.json", "r").read())
output_dict = {}
for string_key in input_dict.keys():
    output_dict[string_key] = string_key
open("en-US (keys).json","w").write(json.dumps(output_dict))

3) Copy this script into the game language folder or into another place where the original "en-US.json" file is
4) Run script
5) Use new language file "en-US (keys).json" in the game (http://wiki.beamng.com/Translation#How_to_use_it_ingame)

Result:

Code:

{
    "ui.environment.sun" : "ui.environment.sun",
    "scenarios.jungle_rock_island.jri_ds_320_rally.title" :"scenarios.jungle_rock_island.jri_ds_320_rally.title",
    "ui.mainmenu.help" : "ui.mainmenu.help",
    "ui.options.gameplay.gameplay" : "ui.options.gameplay.gameplay",
    ...

en-US (keys).json

It's not perfect, but it can help ;-)

 

Hello!
I want to translate the game into Hungarian. Solved?

 

More strings anytime soon?

 

Hello guys
I love BeamNG and I have been one of the pre alpha supporters back in 2013
I would like to contribute in translating BeamNG to Arabic
I'm Arabic native speaker and have a good background in car mechanics and racing fundamentals
also i speak English fluently since it is part of my full time job
i would like to have mentor member ship as there's a lot of bad translations in the translated strings

 

translate the game in french

 

The french translation is already in progress
D'ailleurs faudrait que je m'y remette un peu

 

ok merci

 

i have problem with my RTL language
because i can't translate car names so i kept it in english inside the string


and its also happening with the bindings in the loading screen hints
iit can be fixed by change text alignment to RTL it should move everything in place

should i keep translating?

 

Is there any way to get rid of vandal suggestions in translations? Not a big problem, but distracting a bit.

 

Click accept and edit, then revert it back to what it was. It's a bit time-consuming but it will make the suggestion disappear.

Should read.

Can I still contribute directly to Dutch translations? I have time to kill.

(again) Edit: 2 hours after registering:
Suggestions made 131

Lot of empties or impurities. Then again.. Dutch is hard.

 

Thanks! Unfortunately, this is exactly the solution that I tried to avoid. It will be nice to have some sort of "delete" button, that will not leave this "suggestion accepted" messages.

 

Hello again
i'm not sure but i think there's some missing strings or words not been added to the translating interface



also other vehicles parts such as mainengine , wheelaxle and many more
is there any other way to access it?

love this game can't wait for more strings
