Hi all ... Kenshi developers, Modders ... ;-),

I am a French Kenshi fanatic but since I started to play (not so long ago) I noticed that the French Translation was not very good.
For the last 2 month I reverted to the english version (due to a lot's of mods not working well in French).
But as I was still feeling that Kenshi should be correctly translated in the Molière language, I started to work on it.
Up to now, I manage to fully write an new translation of the main.po file and I am currently debugging it.
I am quite happy with the result I got in the interface and wil continue with the gamedata.po file.
(and will post both of them after that, before working on the dialog)

But checking the interface, I notice that some sentences are used in different place and in French, with differents meaning.

For exemple in the Options/Gameplay pannel ther is a "Town attacks frequency" topic with a "Normal" choice.
but the word "Normal" is also used in the characters status.
In French both words should be translated differently.

Is it possible to have these words spleeted in the translation file? (it probably need cpp change and a new compilation :-( ).
If yes, I will made a list of all the required change to the po file.

Thank you

Best regards
and happy Kenshiing.

As far as I know you cannot modify that value and any others due to them being hardcoded into game files. At least it's not possible with FCS, don't know if it can be bypassed by a mod.

I'm struggling with same issue in my Polish translation, which has many more terms because of freedom in word formation.

Est ce qu'il serait possible d'expliquer simplement en français comment on traduit les modules anglais proposés sur Nexus?
Il y a bien une explication en anglais sur ce site, mais je n'y comprends pas grand chose :(

Borgrumm, il y a une traduction en français sur Nexus. Elle est complète, mais malheureusement les accents et œ ne sont pas pris en compte par le jeu :(

Hi all / Bonjour à tous.
For English translation of this post: please see below.
J'ai actuellement terminé environ 66% de la traduction de Kenshi "Vanille", hors dialogues (et bien sûr hors Mod).
Ce qui représente environ 3000 textes.
J'espère finaliser l'ensemble des traductions (soit environ 4500 textes) hors dialogues pour la fin de la semaine prochaine.
Une partie sera disponible sous forme d'un fichier (pas d'autre solution, c'est toute l'interface) l'autre, sous forme d'un mod.
Cette version est une version alpha qu'il va falloir corriger en jeu pour conserver consistance et sens.
Je recherche donc une dizaine de volontaires jouant très fréquemment pour m'aider dans cette opération.
Si vous vous sentez d'attaque pour du débogage, merci de me contacter sur borgrumm (at) hotmail.com.
Une fois la moitié des 4500 textes revus en jeu, je passerais la traduction en version bêta et m'attaquerais aux dialogues.
(pour les mods, on verra un peu plus tard ;) )
Bon jeu à tous
PS. : @Nouakchott, je n'ai pas réussi a trouver la traduction française sur Nexus, as tu un lien ? merci
PS.2 : la prise en compte des accent dépends de certain mods qui modifient l'interface et change les polices. je vais essayer d'intégrer une interface corrigeant de problème dans mon mod.

I have currently reached about 66% of the French Kenshi translation (Vanilla version), not including dialogues (and of course, without mod).
Which represents around 3000 texts.
I hope to finalize all the translations (around 4500 texts) not including dialogues for the end of next week.
One part will be available as a text file (no other solution, it's all the game interface) the other, will be a mod.
This version is an alpha release that will need in game corrections to ensure proper consistence and meaning.
So, I am looking for about 10 people frequently playing Kenshi to help me in this work.
If you feel ready for debugging, thanks to contact me at borgrumm (at) hotmail.com.
After checking 50% of the 4500 texts in game, I will change this translation as Beta version and will start to work on dialogues.
(For the mods, we will see after that. ;) )
Happy gaming.

C'est un sacré boulot que tu as fait déjà, bravo.
Je suis actuellement en vacances alors je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps libre. Je verrai à la reprise si je peux t'aider pour les "corrections".

That’s quite a job you’ve done already, bravo.
I am currently on holidays so I don’t have a lot of free time. I will see if I can help you with the "corrections" after my holidays.

Hi all / Bonjour à tous.
For English translation of this post: please see below.

Ça avance !
j'ai terminé la révision complète des fichiers
  • main.po (l'interface) dernière version en date du 18/05/2020 avec 2206 textes relus , corrigés et complétés (20 nouvelles traductions)
  • fr_FR.translation (les traductions de la version Vanille) dernière version en date du 18/05/2020 avec 3446 textes relus, corrigés et complétés (161 nouvelles traductions)
Soit, au total, 5652 textes tout beaux, tout neufs ! (j'ai dû créer un bout d'application pour m'aider.)

J'ai débogué en jeu 1119 textes du fichier main.po celui-ci est donc disponible en version bêta.

Le fichier fr_FR.translation est disponible en version alpha (brute de fonderie, sans révision, correction...)

Si vous voulez participer au débogage (comme @Nouakchott) voir mon adresse de messagerie dans les posts précédents.

Bon jeu à tous

It's going well !
I have finished the complete files review.
  • main.po (the interface) latest version on 05/18/2020 with 2206 texts proofread, corrected and completed (20 new translations)
  • fr_FR.translation (the translations of the Vanilla version) latest version on 05/18/2020 with 3446 texts proofread, corrected and completed (161 new translations)
That is to say, in total, 5652 very beautiful, brand new texts! (I had to create a piece of application to help me.)

I debugged in-game, 1119 texts from the main.po file, so it is available in beta.

The fr_FR.translation file is available in alpha version (raw work, without revision, correction ...)

If you want to participate in debugging (like @Nouakchott) see my email address in the previous posts.

happy gaming for all

Bonjour à tous,

Je viens de publier la version bêta de ma traduction.
Elle est disponible ici : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2242353631

En raison de la longueur de certains textes, j'ai aussi du revoir la version Vanille de l'interface. J'en ai profité pour la retoucher légèrement et j'ai changé les polices. Cette version est téléchargeable ici. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2242261503

Enfin les noms des zones ayant été revus, j'ai aussi créé une carte en version française. À télécharger ici. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2242274645

Merci pour vos retours.
Bon jeu.


Hi all,

I just published the beta version of my translation.
It's available here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2242353631

Due to the length of some text, I also had to review the Vanilla version of the interface. I took the opportunity to retouch it slightly and I changed the fonts. This version can be downloaded here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2242261503

Finally, the names of the zones having been revised, I also created a map in French version. Download here. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 2242274645

Thanks for your feedback.
Good game.

PS.: I allowed myself to use and colour the Kenshi logo for my French mods icons.
If this raises a problem, please let me know, I will correct my images and remove this logo.

Salut Borgrumm

Je passe par le forum car je ne peux pas t'envoyer de message privé.

Les vacances sont terminées, je vais avoir le temps de t'aider pour ta traduction :D
Je n'ai pas Steam, peux-tu m'envoyer tes fichiers par mail, ou les mettre sur Nexus?


Hello Borgrumm

I write on the forum because I can’t send you a private message.

The holidays are over, I have time to help you with your translation now :D
I don’t have Steam, so can you e-mail me your files, or put them on Nexus?

Bonjour Nouakchott

Bon, pas de chance mon compte sur Nexus est bloqué en raison d'un problème de MFA.
J'attends un retour de leur part.

Voici un lien vers mon dropbox Kenshi
https : // www.dropbox.com /sh/ td8vqjtr7tn28az/ AABFBxwUoNzbj_K7UA_o_Fwka?dl=0
(supprimes les espaces pour le rendre fonctionnel.)

J'y poste les bêta de mes modes régulièrement. (tous les soirs quand j'ai joué et débogué).

As-tu accès à Steam en version web ?
Si c'est le cas, on peut utiliser le forum de Steam pour déboguer (ça ira plus vite que d'attendre que les posts sur ce forum soient validés.)

Merci pour ton aide.
Borgrumm


Hello Nouakchott

Well, we are unlucky, my nexus account is blocked due to an MFA issue.
I expect a return from the nexus support.

Here is a link to my Kenshi dropbox
https : // www.dropbox.com /sh/ td8vqjtr7tn28az/ AABFBxwUoNzbj_K7UA_o_Fwka?dl=0
(remove spaces to make it functional.)

I regularly post the beta of my modes. (Every night when I played and debugged).
Thank you for your help.

Do you have access to Steam in web version?
If so, we can use the Steam forum to debug (this will be faster than waiting for validation)

Salut Borgrumm
J'ai récupéré les dossiers via dropbox:
- version Fr vanille - carte
- version Fr vanille - interface transparente
- version Fr vanille - Traduction

Je vais installer Steam, j’espère que même si mon jeu est une version GoG on pourra quand même communiquer sur cette traduction.

Je n'ai accès à internet que les weekends, la semaine je suis en déplacement et je n'ai pas toujours de connexion.

J'ai envoyé un mail aux administrateurs pour qu'ils débloquent cette restriction d'envoi de messages privés...


Hello Borgrumm
I have downloaded your the files via dropbox:
- version Fr vanille - carte
- version Fr vanilla - transparent interface
- version Fr vanille - Translation

I will install Steam, I hope that even if my game is a GoG version we can still communicate on this translation.

I only have access to the internet on the weekends, I am on the move during the week and I don’t always have a connection.

I e-mailed the administrators to unblock this restriction on sending private messages...

Hello

I think the stuff has mistakenly allowed access to the experimental version as I was able to get and play 1.0.60 for a short time.

I saw that there were translation updates and I wanted to know if it was possible to have access to these files to give you my feedback. In return, I will report any errors I find and give some* of my free time to help improve the translation.
I have a good level in French, I'm not too bad in English, I already have experience in game/mod translation and I know FCS quite well.

I would like to know who manages the French translation content for you? Borgrumm?
Its last update was in June 2021 and the last official update (1.0.55) was in December 2021. Are these the same files you are planning for the experimental versions?

some* cause I I would like to concentrate my efforts on the development and testing of my mod.

1.0.60 was rolled back due to issues. For now it is only found on the experimental build, which is available to anyone who opts-in through the betas tab on Steam or GOG.
