[Addon] Jamba - An assistant for multiboxers. Old Thread

[Daeri]

Hello,

I can't find the courage to read all 157 pages of this thread, so please accept my apologies if the subject has already been raised before :

Jafula, are you interested in having the addon translated into foreign languages ? Have you considered it ? (not sure how much work it would be to change the code so that the addon supports language files) Jamba is a very popular addon among foreign multiboxers, although some of them have trouble configuring it to fit their need because they can't read English. So I would be happy to do the French translation if you'd like to take the plunge but needed help for the translations

This applies to the current version of Jamba-0.5.

Yes, that would be great. You can make a start already. In each of the module files there is a directory called locale. In that directory there will be a file xxxx-frFr with lines like

L["Hello"] = true

You would need to change the lines in the Frfr file to something like

L["Hello"] = "Bonjour"

Just changing these files should be enough. Please let me know if the instructions were clear enough or if you have questions. When you have finished we can work out a way for you to send the files to me.

Cheers!
Jafula.

Your instructions are clear enough I'll work on it this evening as soon as I'm back home and will let you know. I guess I should be able to check the results in game directly when I'm finished with the translation of a module

A question though :
I see you sometimes include a parameter inside a string and therefore use ' as a string delimiter instead of " :

L['Are you sure you wish to remove "%s" from the variable SET list?'] = true

in that case, how can I safely use ' as a word separator (as in "I'm glad to see you"), please ?

L['Are you sure you wish to remove "%s" from the variable SET list?'] = 'Etes-vous sûr(e) de vouloir supprimer "%s" de l'ensemble de variables ?'

Not sure wether there is an escape character in LUA language like in C language (\X) or if I should put two single quotes or something ? For now, I've workaround-ed this problem by wording differently the sentence but I'm curious to know the proper way to do this
