I've started an spanish translation for VDrift. It isn't finished but I'm posting it here because I'm having some problems with some characers:
Opening question mark: ¿
Tilde: ` ´
And others.
I don't know how to build specific fonts for spanish language. The second thing is: Is there any way of changing the problem of the fonts so that everybody could use the same font for every language? I don't know how fonts are drown in this game but Android applications can do it.

We are using codepages, see skins/simple/languages. Spanish would be 1252(FreeSansBold1252.png) I think. You need to save your lng file in the appropriate encoding.
I'm getting this again so I first need to know what is the correct encoding for the lng file.
Thanks.
Oops Thanks. I don't know much about the topic but I'll try
Here my little python script for encoding CP1512 from UTF-8:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import os
f = file(sys.argv[1], 'r') # From.
t = file(sys.argv[2], 'w') # To.
for c in f.readlines():
u = unicode(c, "UTF-8")
try:
t.write(u.encode("cp1252"))
except:
t.write(u.encode("iso-8859-15"))
f.close()
t.close()
Very simple
. What do you think?
One thing I'm noticing is that strings are completely unordered and I think some of them aren't used. I think they should be updated, ordered and deleted ones should be suppressed.
You have to look in data/settings/options.config for title, desc and in data/skins/simple/menus/.* for text, tip entries. There might also be a few strings hard-coded, haven't checked for some time.
Can you figure out a script to update/sort all language files?
I think they need a cleanup but I don't deeply understand how menus are generated. I will work in the translation (Half of the work has been done) and will leave reorganization for later.
Thanks
Awesome BiGBeN87! I'll update the svn bits. Have no idea about vdrift-data on github. There hasn't been much response from data contributors.
Yeah, until we all agree to do a switch-over to storing the data git (let's continue that discussion in the other thread), work out of SVN.
