Hello everyone, i hope i'm writing in the right section.
I realize that modders despite all their extraordinary effort won't be able to do translations in many languages.
I personally tried to translate the expanded food mod manually into italian, but 16648 lines to translate are really a lot.
However i want my favorite mods to be translated into my language and that other compatriots of mine can enjoy these translations,
the same goes for everyone because i think that having the game and the mods translated
into your own language makes the experience more satisfying.
So at the moment I'm working on a python script with a multilingual interface (limited), where you can load the JSON files
of the mods to do the translation.
The script does an automatic translation, which is not always correct, so at the end of the translation
a sort of screen appears that asks you line by
line if the translation is correct, if it is wrong in the header field you write the correct translation,
which will be saved in the internal dictionary that will help in future translations. Example an addition to a mod,
we will not have to redo everything from scratch but we will only work on the new part. This will be possible because
in addition to the dictionary that we will compile there is also a memory cache where all the translations are saved.
I made this choice to keep the script free so that anyone can use it.
Logically with access to DeepL premium or the Google Translate API the translations
would be much more correct but they would have a cost.
I tried to maintain a good balance between free and automatic, unfortunately a bit of time to check and correct will be needed,
but at least it greatly reduces the time it takes to do a manual translation.
As soon as I have a raw but working version I will try to share it with instructions on how to use it.
The languages it can translate into are all those present in google translate.
My idea is to create an application in .exe to make it easier to use because python with the command prompt is inconvenient and
I think it is not within everyone's reach.
I hope it can be useful to you.
