Openrct2: Inform people about translating in the 'Language' option

Created on 25 May 2016  路  10Comments  路  Source: OpenRCT2/OpenRCT2

Why:

  • Get more translators
  • Inform people about the opportunity
  • Updates to the 'out of date' existing files like ru-RU.txt

Concept/Example:
translaters

Text used in the picture:

STR_5830    :{SMALLFONT}{BLACK}Changes what language is used{Newline}Note: not all languages are complete{NEWLINE}{NEWLINE}You can help out with translations at{NEWLINE}Github.com/OpenRCT2/Localisation

_Note: Text in the 'bottom' off the window really sticks out more than a tooltip_

discussion enhancement

Most helpful comment

Bottom note+"Note: not all languages are complete" tooltip would better.

All 10 comments

Isn't this misuse of a tooltip?

Think there are some other strings used for information purpose or some sort of text that ain't a tip, wish I could skem through the language right now but it's too late, will edit this comment tomorrow

Still for 'a good cause' :p
Think a 'bottom note' might be better

Bottom note+"Note: not all languages are complete" tooltip would better.

I find a bottom note too intrusive. I'd prefer a tooltip.

Bottom note would be more visible for everyone, a tooltip would be more hidden as not many would hover over the language to see what it means

The Window is really small so wouldn't matter that much :o

And by having it in the window, you could make the link clickable.

I would say:

STR_5830    :{SMALLFONT}{BLACK}Changes what language is used{Newline}Note: not all languages are complete

and in the bottom:
'Help us translate: http://Github.com/OpenRCT2/Localisation

"Changes what language is used" is rather redundant for a dropdown with languages. If you _really_ need to use a tooltip, use one of those 'warning' ones with only 'Not all languages are complete' (though I reckon that should only be shown when an actually incomplete language has been selected.

As for the URL in the bottom, capitalisation is rather weird.

So if I get this straight:

The string should be:

STR_5830    :{SMALLFONT}{BLACK}Changes what language is used

When you select the language, a warning should pop up saying:
Note: Not all languages are fully translated

And in the bottom there should be a box called;
Help us translate the games languages at:{NEWLINE}https://github.com/OpenRCT2/Localisation

with Github OpenRCT2 being clickable

I don't think we longer need this enhancement, otherwise it would be already implemented in the past 2 years.
