Hello! How to change the language file

[hyyyp]

-console ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "resource/addon_english.txt". ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "resource/addon_schinese.txt".

Language files call fails?

[ash47]

Is this on the server or a client? Have you got the latest version, or an old one? (language files were renamed around a month ago)

[hyyyp]

New Frota, using both server and client are the latest Frota, discovered resource folder prefix: addon_, how to I change the language?

[ash47]

Oh, I see. The only way I know is via steam. Steam Settings --> Interface --> Language

I think it may ask you to restart steam, after that, Frota (and all of dota) will be in your chosen language.

[hyyyp]

Oh, you mean the service side of the steam needed to set the language for the language I want to change? Thus Frota language change?

[ash47]

Yes, Frota is hooked into the steam / dota language system. Translations, etc, happen automatically if you set your strings up nicely like they are in Frota :D (for the most part)

[hyyyp]

After I changed and found Frota or use the default English

[ash47]

Hell, if you really want to use a different language without screwing around in Steam, just rename the language files (and possibly change the first line)

[hyyyp]

OK Frota called language I really want to change, but the console was prompt:

Ignoring non-unicode close caption file resource/addon_schinese.txt ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "resource/addon_schinese.txt". Loading custom UI: CDOTA_SF_Hud_Custom::Init frota

about AddFile() ?

Ah, encodings -- we've had tons of trouble with encoding these language files. When you save it, you need to ensure it's being saved as unicode.

If you're using windows (and using notepad on windows), you'll see something like this: http://i.imgur.com/t3KHGmo.png

[hyyyp]

Oh, I'm trying to change

[ash47]

Looks like there are saved incorrectly in github -- I have fixed them 1000000 times, guess they are broken again, I'll see if i have an old copy to replace the broken ones with.

[hyyyp]

Your language file, the default is UTF8 encoding

[ash47]

There we go -- Just pushed something that should change chinese to be using unicode again --- siiiiggghhhh

[hyyyp]

Thank you for your help, I successfully modified the language file

[ash47]

Awesome, if you have any more issues -- you know where to find me -- This project is basically dead though, all I'm interested in doing is keeping it running -- Working on newer mods now :P
