Translation problem, I would like help.

[FuryaN32]

I have a problem translating the game "Tame it", to "Portuguese -Brazil", to start the game has 7 languages, one of these languages is an emoji system (I have no idea why the developer created this), the problem is the following, when generating the folder in Ren'Py to be able to translate later, somehow instead of Ren'Py selecting English as default it selects the Emoji system and transfers it to the folder and files that should be translated later and I have no idea how to get around this, it translates the menu and settings, but the dialogs are all in Emojis, I'll leave some images.



Dialogues in Emojis even when selected in Portuguese-BR


If anyone can help me I'll be very grateful, I'm relatively new to translation so I don't know much beyond the basics

[...] somehow instead of Ren'Py selecting English as default it selects the Emoji system [...]

It's neither "somehow" nor "instead". When generating a translation file, Ren'Py use as reference the dialogs as they are in the untranslated version of the game, and it happen that the author of this game is a jerk who use emojis as original language.

If anyone can help me I'll be very grateful,[...]

1. Generate the translation files ;
2. Use unren/unrpyc to get back the rpy files ;
3. Copy all the files in "game/tl/english" (sub directories included) into the newly created "game/tl/portuguese" directory ;
4. Edit each file, one by one
   • Update the first line to replace "english" by "portuguese" ;
   • Directly translate the English lines in Portuguese.
5. Save the file and starts working on the next one.
