International Help Needed

[Troll-Brain]

I've seen a map have 7 different languages, they just had to pick their language at start-up.

Nice flood
+ rep

 

[Romek]

Why don't you just make this function then?
I think 7 languages is more than enough. You can always add more later.

 

[Renendaru]

I was only saying this, so you could know it wasn't futile... Alot of people have made translated maps in different languages. You just need translators...

 

[Troll-Brain]

:banghead:
Plz keep in mind the first post in this thread, or then simply don't answer, thx.

 

[Renendaru]

Japanese - batei, chuugen, bettou (synonyms)

Russian - ливрейный

 

[Troll-Brain]

How can i ask it clearer ?
I don't want the result of a translator, but the result of this :GetObjectName('hfoo') , for all languages of warcraft 3.

I guess i should host myself an edited footman and use banlist to know the answers ...

Well do that then.
...Or just create the function and add more languages later...

Amazing online translator skills.

Thank You just like to help out

He was being sarcastic.

Translated names are quite useless, and usually wrong.
I just tested on Google Translate.
English > German.
"Footman" > "Lakai"
That's obviously incorrect, as the actual name is "Soldat"

Own'd By Romek! nice one!

The google translator told me that Footman in slovenian means Stopalačlovek
(not sure if you'll see the 'č')
The real translation IMO would be 'Pehota' beacuse it seems the most accurate...there is no actuall translation for 'Footman' or 'hfoo' as you say it but hat's how it is, live with it

 

[D4 W0RK4]

hmmmm translation tthings always change somehow which i noticed a sec earlier

 

[Troll-Brain]

I tested myself all the european languages on battle.net.
I don't have the asian languages, i tried to host games with no sucess, so i guess i should ask players on asian forums, or maybe battle.net.

Thx to all.

PS : For some reasons with TESH enabled an "ě" is converted in a "e", that's why i use the SubString function, and with TESH enabled it convert it in two characters, it's enough anyway.
And i can't write the cyrilic letters in the editor (Russian), so i use the length of the string instead.

@ReVolver : Thx for the bad answer.

 

[Troll-Brain]

Since i can't write in the editor the russian and chinese letters, i need to play with the strings lengths.

I have attached a test map in the first post.
Just test the map and takes screenshots of the box messages (24 localized strings will be displayed).

If i get the localized strings of all warcraft3 languages, i should no need anymore the requirement of an footman unit with the default name.

Plz help me.
Thx in advance.

Also could a moderator change the title of the thread to this one, plz :
"Need an international help, test the map attached , for help me to make a function"

 

[AceHart]

You sure that title makes more sense than the current one?

 

[Troll-Brain]

Hmm my english is so crappy, but the max size of a thread title is also so short

Actually i should'nt need anymore the name of the footman for all language.
You have an other suggestion for the title ?

 

[Leazy]

Hmm, what exactly does this do? Does it check the name of a footmen for each player, and then if it is for example ''Soldat'', it knows your german?
