French translation

[Crippius]

Not sure where to post this

I went through the GameEx Wizard on my new system and noticed that the french translations are terrible. Some of them, long sentences, coming from an online translator for sure.

I can help you to fix that if interrested. Just tell me how.

Hi Crippius,

We're always very grateful when multilingual users help to improve language translations in GameEx. Here is a brief tutorial that might help to get you started:

User Submitted Translations, Plugins, Radio and News URL's

Several of the translations in that thread have been included in the release version of GameEx, and I believe I speak for everyone when I say that we're always very grateful for this type of contribution!

If you do update the translation, please upload it to the above thread. It would also be a good idea to send Tom a PM letting him know you've made updates to the translation.

Good Luck! Let us know if you have any questions.

ok thanks. That looks pretty straight forward. I'll work on this within a week (hope not month )

I begun with this but I found that it was incomplete as some sentences were referring to other sentences/options which I didn't find in the ini file. This caused a serious issue as I need to keep everything coherent.

Example:

CreateSnaps1A=You are about to create snap shots or videos for every game in the [EMULATOR] Games List. This option can be removed from GameEx, by enabling the Hide Create Snaps option in the configuration.

Hide Create Snaps does not lie in the language.ini file

I then searched a bit in the file system and found that the setup wizard has it's own xml language file, in which I could find the missing terms: CONFIG\SetupWizard_fr.xml

Do you confirm that I can modify the translations directly in this XMLfile and send it to Tom along with the french.ini ?

The xml is for the Setup Wiz and the ini is for the interface. Probably best to do both of them and pass them along, which we can then include in the installer.

Thank you for your help!
