Russian OpenTTD

I translated OpenTTD v0.3.5 into russian (not whole but with russian town names, transport names, interface, messages and other).
How I can publish russian version (or necessary files to patch a source) of OpenTTD?

Do you see the sticky entitled "New rulebook/how-to for translators"?
It just might have some useful information.

Yes, i see it, but i make translation NOT only russain.txt file, but i make changes in source code (for russian town name generation).

Oh. I'd guess that the diff should be posted to SourceForge.

Smoky555, if your patch will be merged to svn than I can help with translating.

P.S.: Magadan -- lol

make a diff file and post it on SF

How did you manage to get the Russian charset?

Hi used localized version of trg1r.grf. In it sprites on places
162-225, 386-449, 610-673 were replaced with russian letters. Can we use newgrf for this without changing trg1r.grf?

I think so, but don't ask me how
Someday we will switch to unicode, but currently nobody have time to work on it, but once it's done, it will be a lot easier to add chars from other languages since Russian chars will not have the same numbers and you can just link the different charcodes to different sprites without any problems

Assuming Action A support works, it should be pretty easy. Use GRFDiff to create a GRD file, and then use GRDtoGRF to create a GRF file.

Both programs are part of the GRFCodec package.

Smoky555, most of station names is .... bit not russian - as it looks - it is only translated by some translator + Russian names of cities

PS for russian names witch will be near to real it need in more case put name of town second or use '-'

I finaly posted a patch to sf, so you may try it.
Some other languages may use this trick with newgrf, for example greek.

Some time ago Pipian post sprites of greek and cyrrillic characters. Can I use it instead current cyrrillic chars and distribute with the game?

Pipian · Post by **Pipian** » 08 Jan 2005 04:09

I sent you what I had for sprites of Cyrillic (Unicode-style). Regrettably, when we switch to Unicode, I imagine there will also be a switch away from bitmapped fonts as well (this is a conjecture on my part) given that some languages simply won't be able to fit in (for example) the small font used in the "View all trains" window.

Wow.. I am impressed.. Nice job.. hope to see this implemented in OpenTTD soon

We can make OTTD load font file and .txt according to system locale (for example, ru_RU.KOI8-R on my current pc). If u agree, i'll write a patch.

ThanD · Post by **ThanD** » 13 Jan 2005 14:51

ku3, did you see that patch: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... tid=636367 ? It works fine, but we need new cyrillic font -- free and less ugly than used in patch. Pipian sent me his partial completed font, but currently I have no time to complete it. Can you help with drawing?

Pipian · Post by **Pipian** » 13 Jan 2005 20:40

I've done some work to fill out a little, but again, I've not completed the small and big fonts. Those are mainly waiting on figuring out if/how Unicode would be done (as Unicode would be even nicer than merely using a hack to overlay a GRF and then force the burden on the translator to convert to a non-standard charset)

ThanD · Post by **ThanD** » 14 Jan 2005 10:37

russian.txt in "standart" Windows russian encoding -- CP-1251. But surely unicode is much preferred way.

I don't know why do we need unicode, really... Can somebody explain?
