Build Status

To contribute to the translation of OpenRCT2, you will need to fork this repository.<br/> This allows you to edit and push changes of files to your fork so that you can then open a pull request.<br/> For more information, see our wiki article on committing basics, or visit GitHub's official forking guide.

Creating a new language

If you want to begin translating OpenRCT2 for a new language, create a new file in the data directory with the correct two letter language and country codes (e.g. cs-CZ), then paste the contents of the en-GB file into it and start translating the strings.

Maintainers & Maintaining languages

In each commit you create regarding a language file change, start the commit description (aka message) with the language and country code you're translating into, discussed in the previous paragraph (cs-CZ, es-ES, etc) (i.e. git commit -m "es-ES: Description of the commit" )

As this project always are moving forward, new strings get added from time to time which means they need to be added to the language files and be translated. All the new strings that are being added can be found in 'issues' on the localisation webpage here on GitHub. To be a maintainer means that you have to add the new strings found on the issues page into the language you're translating in numerical order.

If you want to become a maintainer, tell us what language you will be maintaining on Discord.

Checking & testing strings in-game

You can always test the translated strings in-game before publishing a pull request. This can be especially handy to see if the strings fits the window.<br/> To do this, go to the directory where OpenRCT2 resides (not to be confused with the directory where it saves your parks and config!), then go to data/language and replace the existing file with your updated version.
