Aphrodite, hello, what do I need to do if I want to translate x-change? What I'm thinking of right now is modifying your html file
Hi, wow, that would be awesome (though it would be very difficult I'm sure)! I would highly recommend starting from the source code, and making any translations as a mod!

You would want to translate the source code itself, all the text is in the .twee files:

That way, when future versions of the game come out, it would be easy to re-apply the translation mod.

Thank you for your help, I will try, although the machine translation at the beginning, but also a good progress, after all, I am not a native English speaker

Dear Aphrodite, I found a problem while translating, that is, what code should I use in the MOD to modify the display of some strings in XCL?
I have tried to read the manual of Harlowe and the documents in GitGud, but there is no relevant information mentioned, I hope you can answer me.

I highly recommend Deepl for translations. It is lightyears ahead of Google and Microsoft Translate. Check it out

In fact, the translation tools I am currently using are of decent quality and can be customized to help me avoid unchangeable changes such as $his_name _hair_color and so on

One tricky thing about the game is that it often puts together sentences dynamically:

So some certain lines like this might be much harder to translate...

I don't know how to replace the string in the XCL paragraph with the string in my new paragraph without modifying the XCL paragraph string
(replace: A) bracket B bracket
It doesn't seem to have been very successful

I suddenly realized that in fact I could translate normally, the reason why there were mistakes was because I did not translate each one completely and then package it together. Moreover, the XCL version I used is not fully applicable to the content I translated, because it does not have the corresponding paragraph call, such as drink alcohol, which is new and needs other files to supplement the call.

I wish you luck… translating the game is a very difficult task!

Thanks, but lately I have less free time and I translate less every day. But after you update, I may need to double check to make sure the translation is working properly. I thought that such a good game should be liked by more people, so I tried to translate it. Although it was a bit cumbersome at first, after a few days of research, I had the idea to translate it. My current translation is to cut a source twee file, about "links", "either", and "some directly written text" ‘s passage into my twee file and then translate it.

Man, we really need a way to filter NPC choices in this game. Like, rejecting a guy at work should keep them away for the rest of the day, we should be able to ditch individual NPCs to regenerate them, we should be able to get to know NPCs to find out what they are like, we should be able to just avoid talking to coworkers after they approach you (instead of having to brag, complain, ask for help, do small talk or flirt), that kind of thing. I've been trying to get an impregnator jerk coworker by savescumming before going to work for the first time and those issues are very noticeable when you aim for such a goal.

I definitely understand this feedback and hopefully the system will be better soon. We are discussing the coworker npc system and potentially having a leaderboard and ways to get rid of NPCs you don’t like in a lore friendly way, as well as a screen showing what traits you know about that NPC. I also think every office needs at least one jerk impregnator! Anyhow, stay tuned. In the meantime there’s always the “everyone wants to breed you” setting but might be too extreme :)
