This repository holds text localizations for Unreal Engine based games. Currently the localization project manages 15 languages: English (.int), German (.det), French (.frt), Spanish (.est), Italian (.itt), Russian (.rut), Polish (.plt), Portuguese (.ptt), Hungarian (.hut), Czech (.czt), Swedish (.svt), Catalan (.ctt), Dutch (.nlt), Norwegian (.not) and Japanese (.jpt). Additionally, UT2004 handles Korean (.kot), Simplified Chinese (.smt) and Traditional Chinese (.tmt) as well. More languages can be added to games and mods with available templates.
NOT ALL LANGUAGES ARE COMPLETE,. A language is considered complete when it can work without most problems under the game it's meant to be on. Completed languages are located in the SystemLocalized folder. Currently that honor befells to English (obviously), German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Polish (Unreal only), Portuguese (Unreal only), Swedish (Unreal only), Catalan, Dutch and Norwegian (Unreal only). The rest of the languages, on the other hand, vary, from requiring a lot of work or be created from scratch, to just requiring the new strings to be translated. This is a long-time project, so expect incomplete stuff. Help is welcome in any regard.
Also note that the list isn't restricted to the named games and mods. Expect more mods and games to be added as the project grows. Bear in mind, however, that we prioritize Unreal and Unreal Tournament due to them having actual Community Patches being worked on (more specifically, Unreal v227 and UT v469). Furthermore, localization of these games is being done specifically on these versions, so don't expect them to work on v226* and v436/451 without tweaks.
New translators need to read this in order to get familiarized with how the localization system of the UE1 works.
- First you need an account on Github, obviously
- Fork this repo
- Create a new branch and switch to it (use Github Desktop if you don't feel like messing around with commandline and you're on Windows)
- Make your changes
- Push your changes to your branch in your cloned repo
- Create a pull request
That's the cleanest way to create your series of changes (it's NOT a good idea to edit directly in Master). It's recommended that every branch contains a few changes, otherwise it would be a pain to merge with the current changes.
You can suggest or send new lines, fixes, corrections, etc. either on the Forums (provided you have an account there) or in the #localization area of OldUnreal's Discord channel. We used to work on the OldU Wiki too, but as the project grew, it made more sense to keep all the files here, plus the Wiki didn't had an instant file generation tool.
