Hello.
I want to translate the game "Braid"
I downloaded it from Steam today.
Text files are in, C:\Steam\SteamApps\common\braid\data\strings folder.

There are nine files;
english.mo
french.mo
german.mo
italian.mo
japanese.mo
korean.mo
portuguese.mo
spanish.mo
tchinese.mo

I can open the files easily with Game Translator.
The problem is in saving... When I save it and change it with the file, game doesn't start.
Can somebody take a look at attached file?
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried it with POEdit (first convert .mo to .po, edit strings and then save to .mo) and game runs fine.

How to convert .mo to .po?
Just rename it?

No
After installing POEdit go to the POEdit\bin directory.

Use command-line (or write a batch file):

Thank you, works great.

Your welcome. Happy translating

Thank you for your answer.

Hello, I am interested in translating Braid into Dutch. I have located the .mo files and was wondering how to convert them to .po files.

msgunfmt english.mo > english.po

I tried to follow merlinsvk’s directions here. The first time I directly copied that line into the “msgunfmt” file, and the english.mo file dissapeared from its folder… I couldn’t locate a .po file either. I still had a copy of the .mo file though so I just copied that back in. Afterwards I tried it again a couple of times and nothing happened. I also tried to put the complete file path names for the files, but that didn’t work either. I’m a bit of a newb with this kind of stuff, so could someone please help me with this? Thanks in advance.
