Personally, the competitive side has always been the thing that's been drawing me to this. I feel like rating the "competition" doesn't really make it better, but worse, because people would arbitrarily rate the projects of others worse. I could give everyone just 1 star for instance for no reason, and I'd also have to play 7 different German versions to accurately rate something, so I guess, I won't rate anything, because I simply don't have the time to do so, which is kind of sad. But differences in opinion, I guess. It was still fun working on it. I may link it to my friends just to test it out if they want to, but I doubt it. Which severely limits the range of this jam. And seeing how LocJam opened the door to me (winning 1 or 2 times and getting to visit agencies in Berlin) I think some competition wouldn't hurt to actually help young and aspiring translators get into it as well. We certainly need those. :)

What tool are you using? I'd recommend 7zip. Alternatively you should also be able to open the file natively via Windows Explorer I think. Works for me at least.

My god, you're a lifesaver, thanks. Didn't have any more time to do troubleshooting, but that was it. Weird, because I made sure to replace those quotes again (my mistake at first), not sure why this ONE line wasn't replaced!

I just turned it into a txt. file then opened it normally in Studio. Without doing anything more the "explanation" strings actually help in the file. Then you can either copy over the contents back into the original file or rename your translation file into a lua file. On the other hand, my game now shows a black screen, so maybe I'm not the best source for help. But to be fair, when working with the original zip file I can't even get it to upload without errors, so who knows.

Hi all,

Just spent hours to translate this thing, put everything back into the zip file, now all I'm getting is a black screen whenever I try to run it. The English version, as well as other uploaded versions work perfectly for me, just my own version doesn't.

Anyone got an idea? I didn't get any error messages, it's simply the edited files back in the zip file copied over.

Would be annoying if for some reason this would disqualify me...

Best regards,

Dominik
