Translations
Description
A tool for translating mods that use SMAPI's I18n API. It allows you to translate those mods live-ish in-game (including this one).
This mod is intended to make translating mods more accessible. It was originally designed to make it easier to update existing translation files. Now it also handles the JSON encoding aspects, so you don't have to.
The editor indicates which of the mods have full/partial/no translation and what languages a mod has been translated into. Red indicates no translation. Yellow means there is one. Green indicates that the mod is fully translated for that language.
It runs from within the game, which means that it also updates the translations live (unless they're copied/cached by the mod). However the editor needs to be opened inside a browser, which has better support for text editing.
The editor has support for custom languages. If you have a custom language mod installed, or if any of the mods have a translation for a language, then that language will be selectable inside the editor.
Development
This mod should be fully functional to translate existing mods that use the SMAPI i18n API. However its still in 'early access'. I don't know if there's any bugs, missing features, or how people use this mod. So please let me know. I'd love to hear from people how you use it, so I can help better integrate it into your workflow.
Usage
First make sure that the mod you want to translate has an i18n folder. If it does not, this mod won't be able to help you translate it. Install that mod and make sure that SMAPI loads it when you start the game.
You also need to install this translation mod. It has no dependencies other than SMAPI. After starting the game, go to http://localhost:8018. Choose what mod you want to translate and the language you want to translate to.
Under "new translation" you can start editing right away. Click a text and type its translation. This will directly update the translation in-game too. Although this is still temporary. Restarting the game at this point will revert all your changes.
Once you're done, click save to store your translations within your game files. Then they will be loaded next time you start Stardew Valley. Or click download to download the translation file to your computer. Then maybe share it with the mod author.
Note: if you accidentally close the game while you were editing a language file, the download button will still work.
