German translation module for the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (dnd5e) system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop.
Aims to provide consistent and usable translations in german for all 5E system content, including compendia via Babele.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP OUT WITH COMPENDIUM TRANSLATIONS, USE THIS SITE AND GET IN TOUCH WITH crash#7509 ON DISCORD.
The compendium content is currently in the process of being translated. This is still ongoing. Some or even most compendium content still remaining in english isn't an error on your side. We're working on it! More news soon. Compendium translations files are currently included as a submodule from here.
Install via Foundry or by pasting the URL below into Foundry's module manager:
If you want to install a specific release, have a look at the releases page:
https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/foundryvtt-dnd5e-lang-de/releases
There you can find the link to the manifest of a specific release version to use instead.
- Install the module via the Foundry module manager as described above
- Install the dependencies: the german core translation and Babele
- Make sure to enable all these installed modules
- Make sure to set the client language to german in the settings
You can see all past releases and compatible versions on the official package listing here.
Every release up to and including version 0.4 is compatible with all Foundry version >= 0.6.x.
Every release up to and including version 0.8 is compatible with all Foundry version >= 0.6.4.
Every release afterwards is compatible with all Foundry versions >= 0.7.5.
The module depends on the german core translation for ease of use.
The module also depends on Babele for compendium translations.
See CHANGELOG.md. Also see the releases page.
Older versions were released by previous maintainers, including Hydroxi and ThoGri back on Gitlab, before Fallayn took over maintenance and transferred the module to Github and the League. Thanks for all of your work, everyone!
Contributions are always welcome! Feel free to open Pull Requests or talk to us first by opening a issue or messaging us on Discord. See Contact below.
Below are some ways to contribute, and how to get started.
To add new translations:
- Fork this repo and check it out locally
- Copy the up to date english language file into languages/en.json (from here)
- Run compare.py
- languages/diff.txt should now contain keys which need to be translated
- After translating, run merge.py
- de.json should now contain updated translations
- Commit, push and submit a Pull Request!
This is a bit more involved, as compendia are currently translated using the awesome Babele module. The Babele repository has a brief tutorial.
In short, compendium translations are included as a submodile in compendium/from
here.
In cases where there is only a small set of values for a field (like Alignments),
those are translated using Babele converter functions in src/:
https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/foundryvtt-dnd5e-lang-de/blob/compendia/src/converters.js
Those are also useful for translation values that are used in multiple places, like Item Rarities.
You can reach out on the Discord of the League of Extraordinary FoundryVTT Developers. If you want to contact the current maintainer directly, feel free to message Fallayn#6414 on Discord.
Thanks to all current, past and future contributors, including:
Hydroxi, Smicman, ThoGri, Morvar, Fallayn, crash, elbracht, stillday, CarnVanBeck
Much love to Foundry, Atropos & team and the awesome Foundry community, especially the League, the official Discord and Reddit and the Wiki and Hub.
Thanks to all the module authors and contributors who work tirelessly and largely for free to make using Foundry such an amazing and fun experience.
Thanks to the other Foundry translations, especially the italian, polish, japanese and brazilian portoguese ones for paving the way - we learned a lot from them. :)
Thanks to Simone Ricciardi (riccisi) for Babele, without which translating compendium contents would be hard to impossible. Thanks!
And thanks to henry4k who provides the german core translation, letting us focus on the 5E system translations.
Finally, thanks to WotC for the support and all the wonderful authors - for everything.

Be aware you may still contribute changes without this, for example via Pull Requests which the League is still able to merge, as they have control over this repository.
