DeJavu fonts are missing Asian characters. As I said, you need to substitute them in jobs.txt (only TTF part, but not output, or game will not find them). Game uses UTF-8, so your characters will be displayed if they can be encoded in UTF-8.

If you have done:
1)Created new codes.txt and added: 32-127 + range with your characters (one code in one line);
2)Replaced all TTF fonts in jobs.txt with fonts capable of displaying your characters.

then, you should get tga with latin + your characters.

What you should get, I've attached to post.

I think http://www.ansell-uebersetzungen.com/gbuni.html might be helpful for you. Right codes are in second column (Unicode #), just don't forget to convert them to decimal numbers before writing them to codes.txt.

The fact is in GUI it just work perfect,in 3D world can't work(good news is localizing GUI and  localizing 3D is two different parts,so players in China can at least have a localized GUI,in fact we are planning release chinese GUI soon)

Oh, well, that looks great. Good idea to leave parts in English, but can shorten them a lot. For example, EEG is acronym for Eletronic Engine Governor (same as ECU  - Electronic Control Unit on cars) and you may drop the "Eletronic Engine Governor" part and leave EEG only. Same goes for "Electrical power Ground power AC" - JEEZ!! "Electrical power external AC" or "Electric - AC external".
Also, to make a point about bad Ru-ENG translation, it is not "ejecting system", but "ejection system".

Now I'm trying to read ZaltysZ's program and find out where is the problem,I think the missing TXT files(the one which ZaltysZ's program can't create)is the problem.
In Croatian localization program,after you put all 36 txt files in Ka-50FUIFonts and translated Hint_localizer.lua then all the hints can be displayed just fine?

Not realy, as I was not able to figure out how to force displaying of hints in a certain lang. If I change ENG part of the string, RU appears, and other way around... Again, with so much other work to be done (Flight Manual), I'll rather wait ro Western edition to compare the diffs - if the hints will be in langs other then ENG.

The english part is from DCS,I didn't change any of them.I konw some of them are poorly translated,but,y'konw,that's ED's problem

Have you tried change [EN] part and [RU] part all into certain?What will happen?

seriously,I did all what you said,step by step.But all I got is still 36 txt files and still no luck.

There's a file in Ka-50ScriptsAircraftsKa-50Cockpit , fonts.lua.I think I have to do some study on this one.

Did you trimmed the image before attaching it here?

Hmm, any chance you contact some game developers that actually use Chinese chars in 3D gameworld? Either localy developed game, or some other localized game? Is MSFS localized into Chinese? Any FPS game?

Have you tried change [EN] part and [RU] part all into certain?What will happen?

If your asking about cockpit tooltips, I've tried changing all instances of RU into EN, again trying to insert translation into either EN or RU part of the string, but BS just does not care! It constantly displays unchanged tooltip, regardles of RU/EN and of actual string. If all tooltips are in ENG, and I change the English  part of the string, then only that (changed) string is in RU. If I change RU part of the string, then it is in ENG.  If I switch all [EN] / [RU] string definitions, then it is the same, only other way around. Weirdest thing I've ever seen.

Oh sorry i didn't know


Babalui check this file, clickabledata.lua. It contains english hints. Also I tried to rewrite lua code

from:

if  LockOn_Options.cockpit_language == "russian" then
    country = "RU"
end

to

if  LockOn_Options.cockpit_language == "russian" then
    country = "RU"
   else
    country = "EN"
end

But then there was no any clickable kabina. Maybe i did error in code dunno.
