------ po
------- <language>.po
----- ...

Hi sfan5, we talked yesterday about translation and this mod.

Well, as I told you, I tried it and the po's were generated, but when I left the world and enter again I get a bunch of error messages like this:

ERROR[main]: Syntax Error in /home/fred/projetos/minetest/source/minetest/bin/../games/common/mods/bucket/po/pt_BR.po

for all po files (besides "bucket", I have all others directories under games/common/mods), followed by a message that po file was read and another that no match was found. Each error repeats a number of times. Here are the lines corresponding to doors and bucket:

-snip-
no match found: 'bucket'.'pt_BR'.'Water Bucket'
06:54:01: ERROR[main]: Syntax Error in /home/fred/projetos/minetest/source/minetest/bin/../games/common/mods/bucket/po/pt_BR.po
06:54:01: ERROR[main]: Syntax Error in /home/fred/projetos/minetest/source/minetest/bin/../games/common/mods/bucket/po/pt_BR.po
06:54:01: ERROR[main]: Syntax Error in /home/fred/projetos/minetest/source/minetest/bin/../games/common/mods/bucket/po/pt_BR.po
BR.po for bucket read
no match found: 'bucket'.'pt_BR'.'Lava Bucket'

Initially I thought that was a problem with the language code (pt_BR), because of the "BR.po for bucket read" message (the "pt_" part is missing), so I changed the name to only "pt", but the problem persists.

Another information is that even Minetest is translated to pt_BR (I have "minetest.po" file under po/pt_BR and it was pulled from git) my interface is still in English. It may have anything to do with the localisation problem?

Thanks for any help.

[sfan5]

Could you paste the .po file?

[aracnus]

Could you paste the .po file?

Here goes pt_BR.po from bucket:

#pt_BR Translation for bucket
msgid "Empty Bucket"
msgstr "Empty Bucket"

msgid "Water Bucket"
msgstr "Water Bucket"

msgid "Lava Bucket"
msgstr "Lava Bucket"

I ran msgfmt -v command and it showed me no errors, only an alert for absence of language codification (I add this information to test, but Minetest still show same errors).

[sfan5]

I fixed the problem, redownload the latest version

[sfan5]

German translation added.

[sfan5]

French translation by Calinou added

[Pavel_S]

Russian translation, but it won`t work =(

[sfan5]

What do you mean by won't work?
Syntax Error messages? Nothing happens?

[Pavel_S]

Game says "ModError: Failed to load and run ... \builtin.lua"

[sfan5]

Paste the complete error, otherwise I won't be able to fix it

[Pavel_S]

So, I deleted

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

dofile(minetest.get_modpath("__builtin").."/features.lua")

this string from builtin.lua . And now it`s working, but there is problem with encoding.

[sfan5]

Could you make a .zip file for the translation, I can add it to the list then

[BlockMen]

Awesome! Very nice mod.

PS: plz change "Dreck" to "Erde" in german translation ;)

[sfan5]

Awesome! Very nice mod.

Thanks!

PS: plz change "Dreck" to "Erde" in german translation ;)

done.

[aracnus]

Everything is ok now sfan5, thank you. And I have just one more question. On localisation.lua there is a comment that L.lang must be 2 characters. So, there is another way to produce a pt_BR translation instead of just pt? Brazilian Portuguese and Portugal Portuguese have many differences between some words translations.

[sfan5]

Just use pt, unfortanely I need to set a fixed length

Hi sfan5,

The last update didn't work. When I try to use it, even with "L.lang" as "pt" or "pt_BR", I get the following errors:

22:20:48: ERROR[main]: ========== ERROR FROM LUA ===========
