Braid - Language File

[qabRieL]

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?

[merlinsvk]

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

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

Code: Select all

msgunfmt english.mo > english.po

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.

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

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

Code: Select all

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.
