Multi-Lingual System - Page 3

The language files will look like this (I corrected this in the first post):

Code:

[en]
HELLO = hello
[de]
HELLO = hallo

What's the advantage of "lang" instead of "_language"?

To quote myself: the saved space in the setinfo buffer, as free space in the setinfo buffer is very scarce already.

That's why I urge you to make another change before you release and use "lang" as the setinfo key and the standard two letter language codes for the value. People could even use the three letter extensions for sublanguages if they want to and still have a shorter value than most language names. That means that a client would set his language to english with "lang en", saving ten valuable bytes of the setinfo buffer compared to version above.

IMHO the key needn't be prefixed by an underscore as I wouldn't consider a users' language setting to be something private which should not be seen by other clients, but that may be debatable.

can we have a plugin who does that

-> if i havent set "setinfo....."
a menu popup to me and give me the choice like
1 english
2 francais
3 deutsch
4....;

and if i put 2 (i am french), the server set and force it to set (if possible) the cvar in my cfg file

-> if i have set "setinfo...."
just the good message...

daRope:
thanks for the suggestion
we'll use "lang" and two letter language

sanaell:
the plugin is already written
CVS

little prob...

Code:

#define AMXX_VERSION		0.2
#define AMXX_VERSION_STR	"0.20"

with that.

Code:

C:\DOCUME~1\Sanaell\MESDOC~1\amxX\SCRIPT~1\include\amxconst.inc(15) : error 008:
 must be a constant expression; assumed zero
multilingual.sma(44) : error 035: argument type mismatch (argument 2)
multilingual.sma(128) : warning 202: number of arguments does not match definiti
on

and if i comment
The error is

Code:

-------- Compiling multilingual.sma --------
multilingual.sma(44) : error 017: undefined symbol "AMXX_VERSION_STR"
multilingual.sma(128) : warning 202: number of arguments does not match definiti
on

all my include is 0.2 version (the last on CVS)

a question

Code:

  server_print("[AMXX] Loaded %d admin%s from file",g_aNum, (g_aNum == 1) ? "" : "s" )

with lang ..

in english is good to say

"loaded" 5 admins from file

in french the good way is

5 admins "ont ete charge" depuis le fichier

How u change that ? and how you coding that in the

Code:

server_print("[AMXX] Loaded %d admin%s from file",g_aNum, (g_aNum == 1) ? "" : "s" )

because we can't use "[AMXX] %L %s %L%s %L %L,"Loaded",g_aNum,"admin", (g_aNum == 1) ? "" : "s","from","file")

1.: it's because you are using the old compiler (the new is not yet available for the public)
2.: don't worry about it

lol, with all these great new additions to amxx I might even get around to rewriting the whole warcraf3 plugin from the ground up in a more modular fashion.

johnjg75 · 08-02-2004 , 11:17

so that means that we get to create our own lang config file and use it?

i've considered this with the FT mod numerous times, then i always stop because its so much damn work. Isn't urs like 8000 lines? It would suck to rewrite that
