[Unofficial Tool] SOASE/R Translator

from Sins Forums

Not even sure if it can be useful to anyone; I've worked on this tool since I got an English copy of Rebellion, but I previously had an Italian copy of the very-first "vanilla" SOASE. I needed something to import the original/common strings in order to avoid having to translate the whole huge English.str file.

The tool is partially complete (can successfully load, save, group strings by ID/Value, apply the same translation to identical strings, take and revert snapshots, and even merge strings from other .str files), but some features are still missing (Find and Replace, notably). Other things require further optimization (the way differently-encoded files are handled, for example; but also performance, especially when merging different files).

It's entirely coded in C#, so it needs .Net Framework 4.0+ on your system to run (but if you have an up-to-date Windows 7 or above, you should already have it).

You can find the download link, the whole source-code, as well as the instructions at this link on Github.

Happy translating! ^_^

Reading you I understand how you play with a pirated version from SOASE....

If you bought the game, I do not understand how it had the wrong language....it is very strange for a original game.

I just had Steam incorrectly set to English, figured it out only after having developed the tool (that's also why it's not been finished, because I abandoned my translation once I got it right). Proof:

Also, when I got it, my language wasn't listed on the Steam page (or I just missed it?), so I thought I was limited to English only. Anyway, it can still be useful to those players whose native language isn't available in Sins (e.g. Spanish or Portuguese, if I don't recall bad). It's NOT meant to encourage piracy in any way.
