Translate Item Texts
--------------------
This mod acts as a fast way of overriding the item texts of ALL mods in a minetest game (including defaults) in one place.

Need to get your game translated to another language in a hurry?
Do you use mods that don't support inttlib?
Can't be bothered going through 30+ mods implementing it?

Perhaps this is the mod for you!

To create a template:

1. Place this mod in your game's mods folder
2. Set this option in minetest.conf

writeintlitemstemplate = true

3. Run up your minetest game

5. Execute this command:

/writeintlitemstemplate

This will create a "template.txt", which can be used to create translation files in your chosen language...

Depends on:
intllib

Interesting mod. It's really helpful to generate a language template file for all item, node and tool descriptions.
Could you perhaps add a seperator (comment line) in the generated template file, that contains the name of the current mod? Currently it is quite hard to see to which mod the description belongs.

PS: Thanks for that christmas gift :)

Glad you find the idea useful - I suppose I could sort the entries by mod prefix and place them together if that's useful.
Made sure you re-download now - Lookups werent working properly.
