Translation Pack Discussion - Georgian [KA] #1088

Open mersadze opened 1 month ago

mersadze commented 1 month ago

Hi, I'd like to contribute to this project and translate game into Georgian (Kartuli / KA).

Language doesn't use Latin alphabet, It's all special characters:

გამარჯობა სამყარო Hello World

Issue I'm facing is related to fonts000.png, I've tried using Krita (image editing/painting software) to replace English letters with Georgian letters but each time the letters in game looked displaced / off.

Is there a better way to do this? I'm not experienced in image editing or anything but I tried my best here. I'm using EditSH23Msg to modify .mes text content.

Character placement is off even though I've aligned them perfectly using Krita

Thanks I'll take a look into it.

I've read it all but my issue remains the same, I just can't get font000 modified in a way that aligns all my characters correctly, I constantly test my rewritten graphic in game but they're off at some places. I also replaced all letters with same character as a test (I thought character proportions were the issue) but still nothing changed.

It would be nice to know who could make such font000.png with Georgian letters, so that I could start on encoding & actual translation.

Hello i think i can help you. You can set the font000.png in Paint 3D. But first you need a choose a languange to edit.

I used SH2MSGConvert to translate some of the lines, below is the modified table.txt where I placed Georgian characters, converted it back to .mes and dropped it in the game files, no change, why? table.txt

Helló I try to edit in Paint 3D, won't work. The game can't handling Georgian alphabet. But I found a links: https://github.com/elishacloud/Silent-Hill-2-Enhancements/issues/144 https://github.com/elishacloud/Silent-Hill-2-Enhancements/issues/234
