I've read Wuzzy's thread about mods' internationalization, in this thread I'd like to hear your opinion about the localization of Minetest Game.
I'm translating the engine, and thinking that when people will play it will probably think "Oooh! It's in my language! ... Damn, it's in English!" as soon as they discover the grim truth... well. :/
Would it be possible to use .po files with it as well? It doesn't make any sense having the UI localized when the official subgame isn't.
P.S. yes I did translated it by manually editing the files, you can figure the time wasted looking for the strings to be translated.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.

Re: [localization] Minetest Game
This was much discussed, and the conclusion that came was that since translations are only server-side. It is one of my objectives to add client-side translations, and they will allow localization of mods, and thus of Minetest Game.
