Thanks. It is all clear now. I’ll write it down for whoever is interested (ok, probably just for myself )

Transport Fever was apparently developed in both German and English. For the English version of the game, only the originally German strings had to be translated, so only those strings are in both .mo files, and for the German version it is the other way around. Other translations have both German and English source strings in the same .mo’s (see image below).

So I could convert the Italian mo’s to po’s, remove all translations and translate from there, but that would seriously mess up my translation memories (I don’t want German strings in my English to Dutch translation memory), so I will translate them separately and merge the .po files later.

This is really weird. The res.mo file I have is from the Steam release, and the latest version of Transport Fever (last week’s patch). Its size is 63.441 bytes and according to Poedit and Trados, it contains 501 strings. The strings you quote are simply not there. I have attached the converted .po file to this post. What tool did you use to convert .mo to .po? And how big is your file?

Hi eis_os. Didn’t you use to work on TTD Patch way back in the day?

Anyway, res.mo doesn’t contain the campaign strings (I already translated that file). It contains things like vehicle names and descriptions, loading screen tips, etc, but none of the campaign stuff. It would be the most logical place for it, of course.

I guess I’ll have to ask Urban Games. I already wrote them an e-mail about some crashes I had, so when they reply to that I can raise the translation as well. I’d love it if it is officially included in the future, but first I need to do more play-testing, it isn’t good enough yet.

I have translated most of the in-game text to Dutch, but I can’t find the translatable strings for the tutorial, campaigns and achievements.

The text I translated is in the folder Transport Fever\res\strings, which contains translatable strings for the interface (base.mo) and most of the content (res.mo).

The achievements are probably on Steam somewhere, so out of reach for now.

The original, German text for the tutorial and campaigns can be found in the lua files in Transport Fever\res\campaign, but those files don’t change if you change the game language, so the translated strings will have to be stored somewhere else. So my question is: where are they? I have looked everywhere, but I just can’t find it. Does anyone here know?
