Internationalization of Xconq

I have tried the Internationalization of Xconq. It uses the gettext and the Tcl message catalog for localization support.

Download

• patch-xconq-7.5pre-s.gz (for CVS, 2004-04-15 version)
• ChangeLog (in Japanese)

Install

1. Get the latest Xconq.
2. Download patch-xconq-7.5pre-s.gz
3. Do this:

   $ cd xconq
   $ zcat patch-xconq-7.5pre-s.gz | patch -l
   $ sh s.sh
   $ mkdir -p ~/.xconq/lib
   $ mkdir -p ~/.xconq/locale/{your language}/LC_MESSAGES/
   $ mkdir -p ~/.xconq/tclmsgcat
   $ cp xconq.pot ~/.xconq/locale/{your language}/LC_MESSAGES/{your language}.po
   $ cp en.msg ~/.xconq/tclmsgcat/{your language}.msg
   

4. Install the Xconq
5. Translate ~/.xconq/locale/{your language}/LC_MESSAGES/{your language}.po into your language.
6. Convert it into xconq.mo.

   $ msgfmt -o xconq.mo {your language}.po
   

7. Translate ~/.xconq/tclmsgcat/{your language}.msg with MSGedit (http://www.groy-groy.de/czerbst/tcltk.html).
8. Translate game files you want to play(say, standard.g and stdunit.g).

   Note that if you modify 'name' for a object, you have to define 'image-name' and 'char' for the object. (these properties default to the value for 'name'.)

9. Put the files into ~/.xconq/lib/
10. Make a file "~/.xconq/lib/game.dir" with below content.

    (
    "standard"
    )
    

11. Cd to your home directory. (it is a must.)
12. Type 'xconq -L ~/.xconq/lib/ -g standard'
