Once you have written a campaign and made sure it is translation-friendly (by adding underscores and the appropriate textdomain commands, which are described on the previous page), the Wesnoth translation team will shoulder the technical burden of adding translations to your campaign. The goal is to not require a tremendous amount of technical knowledge from user campaign writers. However, some familiarity with the terminal and command line is required. This guide was written by a Mac OS X user, so hopefully it will be explicit enough for anybody. ||Preliminary Steps|| 1. You must register yourself at http://www.berlios.de which is like a German version of Sourceforge. 2. Send torangan your www.berlios.de username so he can add you to the project (so you can have write access to the project). Chances are you will have already been contacted by him if you are reading this, or else go to the BFW forum and send a private message to torangan. 3. Once you are added to the project, your campaign files will be added to the project. Torangan will download the latest version of your campaign from the campaign server and add the files. You can see the project here: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/wescamp-i18n/ . You can browse through all the wescamp files from that page or by clicking this link: http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/wescamp-i18n/ . ||Installing Subversion|| If you are familiar with the terminal, then this part won't be so bad. Subversion, also known as SVN, is a program that manages multi-user file directories (like this project). It's just like CVS with more features (if you know what CVS is). You will have to install it. I have no knowledge of how SVN for Windows works, but from what I can tell SVN appears to work well on Windows, and you can even get a GUI version. SVN can be downloaded from here: http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html . Scroll down and find your OS. For Mac users, I recommend getting the binary package that does not require Fink, because that's what I used and it worked. Get the package and install it, according to the instructions that come with the download. After installation, you can test out SVN by opening the Terminal and typing 'svn'. You should get a friendly message about typing 'svn help'. There's no application icon or anything - it's just a new command for your command line. ||Your Campaign - Initial Setup|| Here is where the Terminal knowledge comes in. The next section is for Terminal newbies. Others can skip down. You might want to backup your campaign. Basic Terminal Help: - For the very new: the Terminal is located in /Applications/Utilities (for Mac OS X) - Type in 'pwd' to see your current directory. - Type in 'ls' to list the contents of the current directory. - Type in 'cd //directory//' to change to that directory (which must be a subdirectory of your current directory. - For example, if you are currently in your home directory, typing 'cd Preferences' will change to the Preferences subdirectory. - The slash / character is the root (or top) level directory on your computer. - The tilde ~ character is a shortcut for your home folder. - For example, 'cd ~/Preferences' will send you to your home directory's Preferences subdirectory. - Another way of saying this is that if my home folder is called //scott//, then ~ = /Users/scott/ ||See Also|| * WesCamp _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-wiki-changes mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/wesnoth-wiki-changes
