It's #sourcecodeSunday!
I started working on the Italian translation of "The founders of [redacted]". Here is the code that loads the translations, which I just rewrote this morning to use TSV files instead of Lua files to store them.
A decision I regret a bit, since I just spent over an hour fixing the unspeakable things that spreadsheet programs insist on doing to the poor double quotes in my strings. Oh well.
![var function process(name) {
var out = {}
for line in love.filesystem.lines("translations/" .. name .. ".tsv") {
var id, macro, text = line:match("^(%d+)\t[^\t]*\t([^\t]*)\t([^\t]*)")
if !id continue
id = tonumber(id)
var n, start
if macro:match("_[P]?T$") { -- town
n = #townNames
start = 0
}
elseif macro:match("_A$") { -- aunt
n = #auntNames
start = 1
}
if n {
for i = start, n {
var k = string.format("%d@%d", id, i)
out[k] = {
text = text
id = k
}
}
}
else {
out[id] = {
text = text
id = id
}
}
}
return out
}
return {
{name = "English", t = process("en")}
{name = "Italiano", t = process("it")}
