translate=? (solved)

Post by doofus-01 »

Hi,

What needs to go into the .pbl file to set an add-on as translatable? I've tried
  • translate="true"
    translate=true
    translate="yes"
    translate=yes
because of what I read in the wiki and a forum search, but none of those seem to do anything (the add-on still shows "false" on the 1.8 server). Very few of the add-ons show up as "true", so I may not be the only one who is confused.

Thanks.

EDIT: Problem solved with some modifications to wesnoth_addon_manager

translate="true"
where "true" can also be "on", "yes" or "1" not entirely sure whether the double quotes are needed.
The upload code is the same as Wesnoth 1.6, however the upload is done manually so it can
take some time before the addon is on Wescamp.

Did you use the same .pbl for 1.8 as 1.6 for, for example bad moon rising?

Thanks for the reply. I used the same .pbl file for BMR in 1.6 (where it was set as translatable) and 1.7.5-8 (where it has never been translatable). I did have to switch to using wesnoth_addon_manager for 1.7, so I changed the .pbl file from

Code: Select all

...campaigns/my_campaign.pbl
to

Code: Select all

...add-ons/my_campaign/_server.pbl
I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.

This:

Code: Select all

python wesnoth_addon_manager --port=15001 -l    
Gives me this:
Spoiler:
The "false" entries make me think it's not set correctly. I will post my .pbl (sans passphrase) tomorrow, I don't have it with me now.
EDIT: This is the _server.pbl of the one I uploaded several times:

Code: Select all

author="doofus-01"
description="This era contains Primeval, Khthon, Ukian factions as well as a few smaller ones.  Not well balanced.  Needed for BMR & Trinity campaigns. (Revision 0.9.0.a: South-Seas is now a real faction and has been added to MP)"
icon="scenery/icepack-1.png"
passphrase="lalalala"
title="Archaic Era"
translate="true"
type="era"
version="0.9.0.a"

Thanks.

I saw this thread referenced in another one in this forum, and am now not sure if I made it sound like I was documenting my steps in fixing a .pbl file in the post above. I was not, nothing has changed. If the "translatable" = false entry of the add-on list doesn't mean what I think it means, then maybe there isn't a problem. But I would have thought "translatable" meant that it was set to be translatable, even if it isn't yet translated. And

Code: Select all

translate=true (or "true" or "yes")
has no effect that I can see.

I glanced at the wesnoth_addon_manager, but am not proficient enough with python or wesnoth's code to really know where "false" is coming from.

I did some testing and it seems the translate field isn't set.

Can you check whether you have multiple .pbl files in your addons?

If all that fails could you try to upload a new test addon with a translate field
to test whether that works?

I only have one _server.pbl per add-on. I've tried uploading a dummy add-on with some variations in translate=true/1/yes or translatable=true, but it doesn't ever get set. Here is the dummy add-on.

@tsr the Wescamp updating has just ran so it should be up soon...
if not you ran into the same problem as doofus-01

@doofus-01 I haven't found time to look further into the problem
but I see no obvious problem in your test addon. I hope to test
some more this weekend.

Ok, well so it seems. But on the other hand I'm not sure I use this text-domain stuff right.

And doodus-01, I wasn't trying to show but actually to show that others have the same (?) problem too ;)

Great. Thanks.

Cheers. I see your WCE has translate set to "yes", so we don't have the exact same problem. But maybe it's related.

EDIT: I just tested this with 1.7.9. Unpacked the tarball into a USB-drive that had the dummy add-on, ran the python script from there. Uploaded fine, except the translate field is still false. So, no change.

I just uploaded this addon and it has the translate flag set...
I tested it on both a local server and the official server and both have translate = true

So I'm really puzzled with what goes wrong... and I guess I'm not the only one...

Not exactly music to my ears, but at least it's working for everyone else. The only thing I can think to ask, and I cannot test this myself very easily, is this:

Does it make a difference if one uses the wesnoth_addon_manager versus the in-game button?

I have to use the python script data/tools/wesnoth_addon_manager. In that script, the only mention of "translate" in it is this

Code: Select all

for campaign in campaigns.get_all("campaign"):
                    column = [
                        campaign.get_text_val("type", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("name", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("title", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("author", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("version", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("uploads", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("downloads", "?"),
                        campaign.get_text_val("size", "?"),
                        time.ctime(int(campaign.get_text_val("timestamp", "0"))),
                        campaign.get_text_val("translate", "false")]

and I see that last line has a "false" instead of "?". I am reluctant to go messing with things I don't know how to test locally, but I guess I'll try changing that last line, and see if that does anything. I don't have the files right now, so I won't try that until tomorrow.
EDIT: ^ This did nothing useful, of course.

Which campaigns do you have problems with? A few are on the server but contain invalid characters or other errors. I posted about them a long time ago, nothing happened.

Anything I try to upload with wesnoth_addon_manager. Including the "The_PBL_Test" posted earlier in this thread, which someone (SkeletonCrew?) had uploaded and it set as translatable. I'd removed it and re-uploaded, and it's no longer translatable. I think the problem is with wesnoth_addon_manager. Or I'm not using it correctly, but --help and --verbose don't shed any light on this.
