Hi Alexander,
I quickly checked correspondence code and came to a first possibility,
starting at line 1477 :
# Add moves from clipbase to the DB game. This keeps
# comments, but requires that tries are inserted as variants
# as it is always appended to the end of the game
for {set x $plyStart} {$x < $plyEnd} {incr x} {
sc_base switch "clipbase"
# move to the beginning of the new part
sc_move start
sc_move forward [expr {$x+1}]
# Get the move...
set move [sc_game info next]
# ... move on one ply ...
sc_move forward
# ... and get the comment
set comment [sc_pos getComment]
# switch to Correspondence DB and add the move and comment
sc_base switch $CorrSlot
sc_move addSan $move
sc_pos setComment $comment
}
When you write
set move [sc_game info next]
you will get a move translated according to user settings. To get the
english version that will fit
sc_move addSan $move
you must call
set move [sc_game info nextMoveNT]
see tkscid.cpp around lines 6488.
Another solution (I don't recommend it as the API should be complete enough
to avoid this), if you don't want to bother with piece translations stuff is
to simply call at the start of a proc
set old_lang $::language
sc_info language en
......
<your code here>
......
sc_info language $old_lang
Also note that there exists some helper functions that translate /
untranslate pieces in Tcl (see ::trans and ::untrans in language.tcl).
But the first solution I described (use of the NT suffix) is the one to use,
even if there are multiple choices.
