Translating custom map

Hi,

I took a look at the json files in the BeamNG.drive/locales folder and I would like to translate my custom map in the same way. Is there a place where I could put my locales files in the folder of the mod? Is there a rule for overwriting in the logic of other filetypes in BeamNG?

 

Hi ,
I have created the following directory and file structure for testing purposes:

userfolder or mod zip

locales

en-US.json (with an entry like "levels.mymap.info.title": "Hello AlexKidd71")​

levels

mymap

info.json (with an entry like "title": "levels.mymap.info.title")
more map files...
​

This works quite well but unfortunately it cripples all other translations of the entire game:


This suggests to me that BeamNG, at its current stage of development, is completely replacing the translation file (in my example, the English-US one) instead of appending the new entries. So, I think if you want to offer your map in multiple languages, you'd have to carry all the translation strings for the entire game.

Hope that helps a bit even if it is no good solution

 

Haha! That’s not an option of course. If they want to support it the developers are in charge. Since my map is situated in Germany I will take German names for the spawn points and English for the map info.
Thanks a lot for checking this!
