A new translation tool for Skyrim.

[huanrenfeng]

During localization of BaD, I made a new tool. I think I should share this in the community.

 

https://github.com/renfenghuan/skyrimStringsTool

 

Compile the tool using Visual Studio2017 or newer edition.

 

The tool generate a totrans.txt file which is very easy to be edited and uploaded to google to be translated.

 

This makes the translation way faster than using xTranslator.

 

Here's the compiled exe.

 

 

SkyrimStrings.exe

 

 

the tool works on strings,ilstrings and dlstrings file format.

Usage:

skyrimStringsTool -f modname.strings
skyrimStringsTool -f modname.strings -swap

-f filename read a strings file and generate a totrans.txt. You edit totrans.txt and generate a transed.txt by yourself( you can copy the totrans.txt to transed.txt and edit the file) for the next step.

 contents of the generated file is like this:
 
 1 string1
 3 string2
 23 string3
 
 the number is the id for the string. Note that the id doesn't need to be sequential

-swap read a strings file and a transed.txt and swap the cooresponding entries appeared in the transed.txt in strings file.

-fix fix protential bug in the ilstrings/dlstrings file.
