Attention: Google Spreadsheets

[Eleahen]

When copying long strings to new cell Google Speadsheets can separate them into several lines (with carriage return chars).

With these importing localized csv to the game will result in CTDs. Refer to error message to find such strings.

Solution: edit cell contents via double-click

I've also made a couple of changes to the Google docs;

There were a handful of quote characters (") in string files, which were causing trouble. I've cleaned them out, I'm pretty sure.

Also, in order to bring the document out of Google docs and into the game, I've added extra columns - it's a format thing for me when exporting them over to the game. They don't affect you guys at all, just ignore them.

Moving ahead, rather than importing the docs out every time (it's a bit of a pain), I think perhaps the best solution is to mark changed cells with a colour, so I know they need to be copied over into the game files - I'll remove the colouring once I've done that. This will be very handy later when polish translation occurs.

Maybe this localization platform has more benefits compared to Google Docs? I've just found out about it through Planetary Annihilation.

Not free...

Cool, I'll have a look, but as mentioned, it's a service, which isn't that big of a deal, but also, I don't think it's open to the public to translate, rather you have to sign up as a translator. If I understand what I saw correctly... I'll keep looking, but for now, we'll stick with Google docs. Flawed, but works well enough, and can probably work even better, as I sort a few things out.

It's open for public. Creating an account requires no personal information other than an email address.

The nifty thing is that different people can submit multiple variations of a translation, kind of like the crowd sourcing aspect of DuoLingo and Google Translate. And afterwards there is a validation step.

Other features are per-string discussions and recurring strings detection.

The PA one is backer-only for now, but here's a random project so you can take a look:

Try transifex.com instead of getlocalization.com, transifex.com is more powerful and more friendly to use. And most importantly, it's free and no limitation for a public translation program.
