Translating Dirty Bomb to Local Languages (Request & Help)

(ZarisTR) #1

Hello,

I am trying to introduce dirty bomb to my country’s players (Turkey). I ve already prepeared a detailed guide, fan forum site etc. ( http://www.dirtybombtr.com/index.php )

People ask me always if it is turkish language supported or not. We know many popular games supports many languages and we know if they dont support, people make own translate with changing some files. (for example civilization 5 etc.)

Is there a way to do make translate with amateur & manual file editing or i am a volunteer to translate game to my own language. (not sounds, only game texts)

I am an oldschool wolf et player and a fan of splash damage games.

Thank you.

Hi ZarisTR,

It would be quite difficult, and is completely unsupported. Sadly I don’t believe frontend menu localisation can be modified at all which is possibly the most important for a new player :(. The rest, well, it should be possible and I can provide some pointers.

The in-match localisation can be found under [I]Steam\steamapps\common\Dirty Bomb\ShooterGame\Localization[/I]
After this there will be several folders containing localisation files for target languages (INT contains English, FRA french, etc) that are used depending on what language the game is running under. They are plain text and can be modified freely. Of most interest will be the ShooterGame.int and Gameplay.int files.

One thing to be careful of if you do modify these files and could be the biggest challenge - they change significantly with each update and will be completely replaced each time - if you lock the file to prevent this you’ll possibly end up with broken new features and so would need some system/tool of recording and copying your changes back in after an update.

Good luck if you do go ahead with this, it’s no small task.
