fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	161 * Please contact the development team before begining the translation process!
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	162 This avoids double work, as someone else may have already started translating to the same language.
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	163 * Translators must use the charater set "Windows latin-1", also known as ISO 8859-1.
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	164 Otherwise, some characters will not display correctly in the game.

fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	185 In order to view the translation in the game, you need to compile your language file
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	186 with the strgen utility, which is now bundled with the game.

fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	188 strgen is a command-line utility. It takes the language filename as parameter.
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	189 Example:
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	190
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	191 strgen lang/german.txt
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	192
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	193 This results in compiling german.txt and produces another file named german.lng.
fa6ee4d75c8a (svn r1) Import of revision 975 of old (crashed) SVN truelight <truelight@openttd.org> parents: diff changeset	194 Any missing strings are replaced with the english strings. Note that it looks for english.txt
