Dear Ylanders,
Because we want to make easier the life of those of you translating Ylands, we are releasing a feature that should allow you to see in real time the progress of your translation. This way you can check in the game right away if the word you translated fits the in-game context or if the term you are using is too long for it to fit, for example. This is available as of today's update (09/03/2016).
So what do I need to do to see my text in the game right away?
1 - Go to the Ylands project in Crowdin, select your language and click on the 3 dots next to the file you want to check
2 - Click on "Download Translations"
3 - Copy the file(s) you just downloaded (Base.nl.csv for the Dutch version, for example) and put them in Steam\userdata\<steam_id>\298610\local\Localization (if the Localization folder does not exist, create it)
Now the game should load your file(s) instead of the original ones.
4 - First of all, add the "--translator" parameter in the launcher - right click on the Ylands shortcut and open Properties and add the parameter in the field "Target" (without deleting what's already written there).
If you're running the game on Steam, go to your Steam library, right click on Ylands, open Properties, click SET LAUNCH OPTIONS button, enter '-translator' (without quotes).
In order to see the Russian texts, you need to add the "-testrussian" parameter.
5 - If everything went well, the next time you launch the game you will see a message letting you know that your texts are being used
6 - If you switch the language to yours (Dutch in this case), you can see the progress that has been made so far
Let's say you wanted to check the word "Hoofdinstellingen" and you are not happy about how it fits.
7 - You go back to the file (Base.nl.csv in this case), you change the word to EENHOORN (or whatever word you want to use), and if you exit/relaunch the game (after saving the file) you will see the change there
Take into account that for the changes to really apply to the game (and be loaded with the original files) you will have to make those changes in Crowdin.
Note: the files need to be deleted/re-exported after the game is updated with the new version.
Let me know if there's something unclear or if you have any doubts!
