Italian translation

[LucaB77]

I saw that the game has been translated into 6 languages ... but not in Italian. I wanted to ask if there was a reason and if the translation into Italian is also planned. I translated the game "Surviving Mars" because I was in love with that game and playing it
elaborate games like yours don't convey the same emotions in a language other than your own. After the hard work to translate that game (months of work) I decided not to buy more games that are not available in Italian (and many users already do the same). Surviving Mars Translation Mod has been subscribed by more than 3000 users. Which means that there is still a market here in Italy for these games.

I hope you will also add the Italian translation, so that we too can buy and enjoy what appears to be a great game.

I'm here. I hope for Ita translation too.

[LucaB77]

I also join in asking for the translation also in the Italian language ... otherwise those who like me do not know English well, will not be able to buy and play this game.

If you like to share the same google docs.

Update Italian translation is almost 40% completed. I should finish by the end of January. I hope the publisher will include this work in the list of official available supported languages.

Hi everyone, I see there are a lot of interests in creating community translations for languages which we don't have in the game yet.

Thank you Najy76 and Paulotecario for your dedication and work on that aspect.

I want to provide some details to help in your endeavor, but also would like to clarify some things from our end. Due to legal ramification, we will not be able to directly use your translation in the official release of game. There is also the possibility that we eventually provide an official translation in these languages, though there are not plans for it at the moment.

To share the translation with the community, it will have to be through the steam workshop (please don't directly share files on steam or discord). We we haven't implemented the steam workshop yet but it's on our todo lis and I hope we will have it working for and update in January.

The localisation file can be found at the following location in the game's folder: \Terraformers\Terraformers_Data\StreamingAssets\localisation_data.csv
You can just modify it or replace it with a new one with more languages. Be aware that updating the game (or doying the "verify files" action on steam) will revert the file to the official version, so do a backup of it outside of steam.

We directly use that internaly and do not have a .po file. The game will read the header line to know what language are available and to display them in the drop down. Thus if you add a new column it should appear correctly in game. If a line is not translated it will default to english, so a partial translation should still work. If there are issues with the tags we use in the code, for inserting values or icons it might throw some error message and/or display the key instead. It might break the game further though normally we have made it a bit more robust.

Thank you for your clarifications Geaxle. I accept the risks and keep on with the italian translation. I've almost finished (90% of records) and I'll try to do my best to provide an high quality work for this beautiful game.

[Najy76]

I have finally completed the Italian translation of the game. It is already at a good level of quality, but I am refining it as I find errors or imperfections during my play sessions. I will need your help and feedback anyway, in case I was not lucky enough to notice any translation problems or in case you want to suggest a better one.
I look forward to share this Italian localization with you through the Terraformers Steam workshop.
I would also like to know how many people find this translation useful. I hope it is and that I have done a good job.

[AndyB72]

Hello, ready to test it. How can I install ?
