Hi all,

Are you fluent in English and another language?

Return From the Tavern needs your help to offer more languages support to all players. The game contains about 700 words, including dialogues and menus.

Here is the list of languages currently supported:

* Brazilian Portuguese

* European Portuguese

* Dutch

* English

* French (Canada)

* French (Europe)

* German

* Greek

* Italian

* Polish

* Romanian

* Russian

* Spanish (LatAm)

* Turkish

What language can you add?

In the game folder Common, you'll find the language files lang00.txt, ... lang09.txt. You can localize from English (lang00.txt) or from French (lang02.txt) to built lang10.txt for your language and the game will gain it as a new option. Depending on your language, I'll need to extend the pixel font with new characters and adapt the game code to display them.

You can reply in this topic or use the contact info mentioned in the section "Feedback and bug reports" of the ReadMe file.

For your work, I'll add you to the localization credits.

I'm looking forward to read from you.

Thank you for your Turkish localization of Return From the Tavern. I added it in the new Linux build and it works great! (I'll work for Windows later)

If you have time, could you translate the ReadMe file I sent you and the Linux start instructions. This would be very useful to help Turkish players start the game.

Hi KyrielNocturne,

Return From the Tavern has French (France). Do you localize in Canadian French?

Cheers,

Irog

Hi frog
No, sorry. I am a french native. But I would be very pleased to work on another of your project in the future, thanks

Irog58 days ago(+1)

Thanks for you interest. I would love you to share your feedback on my current games so I can improve for the future ones.

KyrielNocturne52 days ago(+1)

Yes, sure. It will be a pleasure. How can I help. Sory for the late response.

Irog52 days ago

Could you play Return From the Tavern in French and give your feedback on the game and its localization.

Hello! I'm from Canada and my native language is French. I have a bachelor's degree in translation and I can localize your game in Canadian French :D

My discord username is ThatViviane, feel free to add me!

Irog58 days ago(+1)

Sure :-) Please do.

You can start from English (GameFolder/Common/lang00.txt) or from French (GameFolder/Common/lang02.txt). All French characters are in the pixel font so you can directly create lang10.txt for Canadian French and it will immediately become playable in-game. The section "Feedback and bug reports" tells you how to contact me. I can also provide you a way to easily test the dialogues in-game.

Hello, I can help you with Russian.

Here is my email address:

ignatovanton092@gmail.com. I am in Turkey, so Discord is unavailable; I have Telegram: @IgnatovAnton.

Irog58 days ago

Hi Anton,

Return From the Tavern has Russian (GameFolder/Common/lang08.txt) and Turkish (GameFolder/Common/lang09.txt). I'll be happy if you proof read them and point to eventual inconsistencies with the English (GameFolder/Common/lang00.txt).

Cheers,

Irog

Hi, do you still need an Italian translator? I am an Italian translator and have already worked on other games on itch.io; so get in touch if you need me: nephilim2905 on discord or amb2905@gmail.com

Irog55 days ago(+1)

Hi Nephilim,

Thank you for your interest in Return From the Tavern. The game has an Italian translation. You can run the game and share your feedback on it.

Cheers,

Irog

Hello Irog!

I can add the translation from English to European Spanish and Galician, from what I can see on the list, only Latam Spanish was added. If you're interested in it you can contact me on translatingdiego@gmail.com or _testarosa on Discord.

Cheers,

Diego

Irog53 days ago

Hi Diego,

Nice ! You can add both languages. You can localize from English (Folder Common/lang00.txt) or from French (lang02.txt). If you add lang10.txt and lang11.txt, the game will use them immediately.

I'll send you a mail describing a way test languages in-game quickly.

Cheers,

Irog

Okay, thanks!

DiegoTrad34 days ago

Hi Irog! Sorry for the late response, but I haven't received any mails with instructions to test languages. On another note, files to be translated can be downloaded directly from here?

Irog32 days ago(+1)

Hi Diego!

Yes, the 10 MB download archive contains all the English text in "Common/lang00.txt".

Hello! Have you found a Spanish (LatAm) translator to help you yet? I'd love to!

Irog49 days ago

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, Return From the Tavern has a Spanish Latin America localization.

I'm sure other devs would want your help.

and if I am singed up i have a question cuz i looked at the Readme files allready: should i translate the Localizations into german? for example Brazilian Portuguese would be Brazilianisches Portugisisch.

my email is support.cookiecrumb@protonmail.com

Hi Cookie,

Thank you for your offer.

I'm already in contact with a German translator to whom I give the time to work on the translation before looking for another translator.

Yes, the names of the languages need to be translated in the ReadMe files and there is an extra paragraph to cover both Windows and Linux.

Cheers

Irog

Cookie-Crumb49 days ago
