Hi everyone,

my first version of the tool is ready to be tested

New: Chasm Launcher for easy access to translations (and later Settings): http://discordgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=95

EDIT:
Mr. Dirscord released a patch for the 1.05 Demo to support latin charset see here: http://discordgames.com/forums/viewtopi ... &t=77#p633

Translator Version 1.1.0
Download: http://erloschen.net/Chasm/ChasmTranslatorV110.rar

Translator Version 1.0.0
Download: http://erloschen.net/Chasm/ChasmTranslatorV100.rar

Version history:

Version 1.1.0 Changes:

• - Items/Weapons can be edited
  - Added Search/Replace tool
  - Editable Shortcuts (Run Chasm Translator once to create a config file in the executing directory and edit it with notepad) => "settings.ct"
  - Changed "Open file dialog". More user friendly
  - Bugfixes

Info:
This is a beta release. I have not yet implemented the Merge/Multicompare feature. This will be the next step.
And after this, I will rearange the editor to make it possible to translate the weapon names and descriptions.
(If you open a file, make sure you select the correct file type or the xnb will not show up in the dialog )

If you encounter an error, please tell me. If the game crashes and you don't know why. Upload your created .XNB please. If the tool crashes, tell me what you did and what the error message was (I will implement some logging later)

And keep in mind:
Don't use special chars like äöü until Discord Games implement a better font file


Here are some screens:


In Game:



Have Fun

EDIT:
Copy the translator .exe into your chasm folder, then:
Open the XNB file you want to translate, then choose "save + backup" in the file menu to create an instant backup of the original! When finished translating, choose "publish" in the "edit" menu to create a versioned XNB.
"Publish" will not overwrite the opened file!

So that takes out about all European languages.

Awesome job with the software tho!

I'm working on a patch for the fonts now. XNA only includes the English set by default, but should be trivial for me to get the full latin set supported.

I've put together a quick patch to support every character in the font sets instead of just the English ones. You can download it here, then extract it overtop your 1.05 installation. I'm hoping to get a 1.06 update out next week with bug fixes, and this will be included as standard.

Wow, that was quick!
Awesome work man! It seems to work fine:

Looks perfect! Thanks for the hardwork of putting together the tool. I'm sure people will be very grateful. I'm going to plug it on our next Kickstarter update!

What about letter like Ś.... i can't type it in "chasm translator" becouse, when i try to do it, im using abbreviation for "save file" instead of typing Ś (can you do something with it ? Pweety Pwease ) . Btw , awesome work !

Oh great job getting it work so fast, James!

m0o3, thanks for the hint. I will finish Weapon/Item support today I guess. I will then look into this issue. I didn't think about this sorry hehe. I will release an update later today or tomorrow

@Discord: Thanks for mentioning me in the latest news I feel honored

I ran into some trouble. I changed the dialogue and strings and the strings file works like a charm, but whenever I enter dialogue the game crashes.
