AGS Tutorials (3.6.1): Translating The Game (English to German)

Upcoming: Dialog With NPC in Distance (Phone Call)

We will translate our game using the internal translate option of AGS.

The steps are like this:
1- Create a translation file
1A-Update the file if you add new text (AGS)
2- Open up the file
3- Translate the needed texts
4-Compile the file (AGS)
5- Build "exe" (AGS)
6- Go to "compiled" folder and open up "winsetup" (Choose game language)
7- If you add some text afterwards you must repeat the steps from "1A" to "5"
8- Do not "Rebuild" any files if not needed.

You may create a GUI at the beginning of your game and let the player choose the "Game Language" from there. You will need to change the game language using a function called "Game.ChangeTranslation" (See AGS help file).

Please check the final game file if you need more information on the topic.
