Translate rFactor interface to Georgian language

[sti228]

Hi. It's possible translate or edit Georgian language for rFactor ? What i need to do ? I know that language files located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\rFactor\Support\Languages. If i copy/paste English language file and edit it will this way work ?

I find people add Russian language for rFactor and also find .rar file: Download It's contain some extra files and i don't know how i can create them.

Take e.g. the Czech.dic File, open it with a text-Editor and save it as e.g. georgian.dic into the same Folder.
Now you have to edit all Entries on the right Site with the georgian Translation.
The new Language-File can be selected like the other languages, in the rf config.
Don't touch the english Entries on the left Site, they have to stay as they are, except they won't be translated in the game.

Thanks but letters don't shown in game. Here is my file: Download file

I can't change interface letters ? Maybe problem is unicode ?

I search in google and find this page: rFactor - Rus They made some extra files for load letters in game.

Please try if the attached Version works for you.
It's your File, converted to UTF-8, but because i can't read your Letters, i can't check if it works.

EDIT I've just seen that it don't works.
So you would have to edit the Font Files (and some Menu Background Images) that they match Gregorian Letters or you use the Russian Version.

Can i ask how i can make my own fonts ? I need to open them in Photoshop ?

 

[redapg]

Yes, or every other software that can handle bmp and tga Files.
Hopefully the Georgian Language has similar Letters to a,b,c.... or the Translation may look funny later.

Can i ask couple of questions ? I really don't understand for what i need rFactorFTHud.TGA file... What i can change there ? I think nothing.

Looks hard work. There is lot of files in .mas files.

 

[redapg]

I would say you don't need the rFactorFTHud.TGA for the UI, it's used for the HUD.

I will take a look into the both MAS Files later, to see which ones you have to change in any Case.

Here they are (the ones that have been changed for the RUS Translation)

fridge:
BK_REPLAY.BMP
RF_MAIN.BMP
TAB_AUDIO.BMP
TAB_AUDIO_DOWN.BMP
TAB_AUDIO_OVER.BMP
TAB_FX.BMP
TAB_FX_DOWN.BMP
TAB_FX_OVER.BMP
TAB_VIDEO.BMP
TAB_VIDEO_DOWN.BMP
TAB_VIDEO_OVER.BMP
Eventually:
VERDANA10LTBLUE.BMP

font:
12FONTTEST.TGA
12FONTUPGRADES.BMP
FTFRAMERATE.BMP
FTFU30WH.BMP
R_FONT_HEADER.TGA
R_FONT16.TGA
R_FONT18.TGA

Eventually:
FTINGAME01.BMP

This one looks really complicated and i think, i will never understand how it's made. So i go with simple one.

UIData folder contain 4 file:

12FONTTEST

R_FONT_HEADER

R_FONT16

R_FONT18

Also GameData\Vehicles folder contain 1 file:

RFACTORFTHUD

Need to figure out what to do with it. There is no letters or anything like this in this files. Only little marks.

Some letters i made in photoshop.

Also forget to ask. I use this UI and will this files work for it ?

 

[redapg]

If you use the linked UI, you'll have to edit the Font Files that this UI uses.
Extract the xUI_HD.mas and search for the Font Files.

And because of the Georgian Letters, that's why i said it could give some "funny results".
You normally e.g. would have to replace the letter "a" with the Georgian Letter "a".
But i don't know if the Georgian Letters use a similar system, as the a,b,c... uses it.

And if you get Font Files that seem to be empty, you'll have to edit the Alpha Channel.

E.g. the File XFONT_HEADER.tga.
If you open it in Photoshop, everything is white. But if you select the Alpha Channel, you'll see the Letters and Numbers etc.
It just seems to be empty, because the Texture-fields are completely white, because the Letters have to be white in the Menu.

Thank you very much for explain. I understand now I have only one question about letters location. I need to keep all of them only left side ? Until mark ?

I will try some experiments soon

 

[redapg]

I would suppose "yes", but to be honest, i never had to play around with it in the past.

So i would agree to make some tests to find it out.

You eventually will have to move the mark if a new letter is wider or more narrow than the old/replaced one.
