I want to add russian language.
1) Download and build sources
2) Create folder "ru" in "po"
3) Copy po/minetest.pot to po/ru/minetest.po
4) Change po/ru/minetest.po :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: # Russian translations for minetest-c55 package. # Copyright (C) 2011 celeron # This file is distributed under the same license as the minetest-c55 package. # Azimuth <elagin.pasha@gmail.com>, 2013. # msgid "" msgstr "" "Project-Id-Version: minetest\n" "Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: \n" "POT-Creation-Date: 2013-01-29 12:32+0400\n" "PO-Revision-Date: YEAR-MO-DA HO:MI+ZONE\n" "Last-Translator: Azimuth <elagin.pasha@gmail.com>\n" "Language-Team: Russian <>\n" "Language: ru\n" "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n" ... #: src/guiMainMenu.cpp:248 msgid "Settings" msgstr "Настройки" ... #: src/guiMainMenu.cpp:245 msgid "Singleplayer" msgstr "Одиночная игра" #: src/guiMainMenu.cpp:246 msgid "Multiplayer" msgstr "Сетевая игра" ...

Have you copiled minetest with gettext? Use

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: cmake . -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 -DRUN_IN_PLACE=1 && make -j2

The cmake output should tell something like

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: -- GetText enabled; locales found: it;da;fr;de

Also: You dont need to run updatepo.sh, make does this for you.

I have the same problem. I have everything correctly compiled and the $LANG varible set to de_DE.UTF-8 but I still get english text.

I just tried out too, it doesn't work for me too.
$LANG is set correctly and gettext compiled in

Does it actually work for anyone in the latest dev version?

I followed your instructions and got Minetest running with Spanish texts, so I believe the same should hold true for other languages.
And yes, it's the (almost) latest version (a few commits behind).
EDIT: IDK if this works for languages that don't use the latin alphabet (like Russian, Japanese, etc).

I found something: strace outputs:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: open("/home/adam/Minetest/minetest/bin/../../locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/minetest.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

but the file is at

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: "/home/adam/Minetest/minetest/bin/../locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/minetest.mo"

Copying the locale folder from minetest to the parent directory solves the problem.
But why does Minetest look at the wrong place to find the file?

Probably because the string

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: init_gettext((porting :: path_share + DIR_DELIM + ".." + DIR_DELIM + "locale"). c_str ());

is not true.

If it is replaced by

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: init_gettext((porting::path_share + DIR_DELIM + "locale").c_str());

all will be well.

The same line is contained 0.4.3 in and master branch.

did the trick. Well, locales were recognized, russian one selected and then... then I got empty lines instead of text. Do I need to use ttf patch to make cyrillic chars show? Or should I have some ttf file in the particular folder (then - which one?)?

You need to compile minetest with ttf support (i.e. -DENABLE_FREETYPE=1) and use a font that contains the charachters.

Thanks, PilzAdam! Will try that.

Edit: Thanks again!
