Looking for help to translate in Hungarian, Slovak, Galician, Vietnamese, Estonian, Indonesian
Project "liberté" to boost localization support
"Liberté" is something to fight for (freedom ), it is also a campaign from Wesnoth (Liberty). It is hereby a project to support translation.
The goal of this project is to make existing translations for outdated versions of mainline campaigns available on the main add-on server.
This target only applies to the languages where the version of the campaign is far from being fully translated in the release of BFW 1.16.
The first milestone is reached today with the upload of Liberty campaign (1.14 version) with full translation in [edit] Dutch (nl), Catalan (ca),[/edit] French (fr), German (de), Portuguese (pt). [edit] and CN Chinese (translation up-to-date on server 1.16 now)[/edit]
I am looking for volunteers to update the translation in the following languages:
- Serbian (sr), only 3 untranslated strings
- Finnish (fi), only 4 untranslated strings
- Greek (el), only 4 untranslated strings
[edit] Since release of "
[edit-2] Since release of "
When the campaign (in the old version) is 100% translated in your language, the translation will be added to the "Liberté (1.14)" add-on for download.
If you're interested to help made the campaign available on the add-on server in one of these language, please step forward. i have posted below the related strings and I will take care of intricacies of po file editing. Having a second person for a language is good too in case we need a backup or a review.

Re: Looking for help to release old "Liberty" in Hungarian...
Some progress on this with Catalan (català) and Dutch (Nederlands) added to the list of translation that are recovered from BFW1.14.
An old version of Liberty is playable in these language by downloading "
It seems they are the last languages that can be fully recovered for that campaign from 1.14.
[edit] Another shot at this has been put on the server in add-on "
Here is some general information on past translations for Liberty:
Working backwards, there is a clear pattern of 1.16 translations with [61-63] fuzzies and [244-247] untranslated strings. That's 14 languages, from German to Finnish, with only 121-126 translated strings out of 426 which make them unplayable for speakers of these languages. The similar numbers are not due to strange effect of randomness but from the application of a process that results in making these translations systematically obsolete.
If we look at the stats in the previous version (1.14.17 from June 2021), some of the languages were fully translated (
If we look further down the list, there are another 13 languages that are only missing 0-4 untranslated strings (and 4-21 fuzzies). That was originally the help I asked for in the previous posts.
Now looking at the version before that (1.12.6 from May 2016), we see that these languages were fully translated (

[edit2] The translations will be removed as they get completed in BFW 1.16 branch. As a new release with full translation doesn't mean everyone will upgrade, I will keep the translations for the people sticking to the old versions.

Re: Chào mừng đến với | Selamat Datang di | Wesnoth! (need help in Vietnamese, Indonesian...)
After checking the past statistics of translation, I have decided to try another direction for this project in Vietnamese, Slovak and Galician.
I have put on the server the add-on "
I was not able to test/play roughly 250 scenarios in this release (anyone who can help with that is welcome), so I limited the changes from the original code as much as I could. As such, the scenarios will feel older in this add-on than how they do in "
I could not load so many campaigns with pictures included so I used references to the current mainline images. Some may be broken.
You will still find some English strings. If you would like to avoid that, please contribute to translations in Vietnamese (vi), Slovak (sk) or Galician (gl) for text domains wesnoth and wesnoth-lib in the version 1.16. Of course, using this add-on in any other language than the listed three is making little sense (old code, old story, other translations not included).
[edit] A second instance of this solution is put on the add-on server: the add-on "
[edit-2] Another instance of this solution is put on the add-on server: the add-on "
Consequently the add-ons "
Don't forget to switch back to the "Default" core when you want to go back to the standard settings (eg. before joining the MP server).
I have put on the server the add-on "
Chào mừng đến với Wesnoth!
(Welcome to Wesnoth)" that brings all 1.12 campaigns (UTBS excluded) to 1.16. It comes with full translation in Galician, Slovak and Vietnamese. The campaigns are defined inside a core, which requires a bit of setup to be started. An explanation on how to start a core is illustrated here. The core to run the campaigns with translations is "Chào mừng (Wesnoth 1.12)".I was not able to test/play roughly 250 scenarios in this release (anyone who can help with that is welcome), so I limited the changes from the original code as much as I could.

Re: Chào mừng đến với | Selamat Datang di | Wesnoth! (need help in Vietnamese, Indonesian...)
For the people who can't find how to use these languages (Hungarian, Slovak, Vietnamese, Estonian, Indonesian) after the add-on is installed: the game filters out all languages that do not reach 80% of coverage in translation on a selection of
The easiest way to solve this problem is to edit the game configuration to boost your language translation coverage:
- go to the game data directory (
- edit in notepad the file data/languages/*.cfg corresponding to your language (for example data/languages/vi_VN.cfg)
- change the last line to
- start the game again
- now your language (for example "Tiếng Việt") is available in the language selection
Or you can specify that you want all languages listed as an option when starting the game (for windows, replace
[edit]
[/edit]
#textdomains
. So you can't select these languages from the user interface.The easiest way to solve this problem is to edit the game configuration to boost your language translation coverage:
- go to the game data directory (
Game data
shows after pressing the [ i ] button on the main title screen)- edit in notepad the file data/languages/*.cfg corresponding to your language (for example data/languages/vi_VN.cfg)
- change the last line to
percent=80
and save- start the game again
- now your language (for example "Tiếng Việt") is available in the language selection
Or you can specify that you want all languages listed as an option when starting the game (for windows, replace
--editor
by --all-translations
in this walk-through).[edit]
I think I got that one covered now
