🇮🇹 Italian translation!

EDIT: Link diretto alla traduzione italiana

Hello everyone!
Congrats for having such a nice and pretty forum, quite appropriate for a pixel art drawing software.

I bought Aseprite some months ago and I immediately tried to set it on italian, but there’s no it localization yet. So I said: “Let’s make it on my own!”

I gotta say that I had to spend some time searching for what to actually do to help translate it, I’ve noticed that there’s a Git project here in languages but no clear instructions on what to do to contribute.

So what I did was going into the software directory and I found this file named en.ini which seemed to contain the strings to translate. I did a duplicate, named it it.ini and just started translating away.

After some hours of work, I randomly found this forum, so here I am.
Is this the correct thing to do? Once I completed translating the file, what should I do?
I’m able to test it already directly in my Aseprite by changing the language in the preferences, but what’s next?

Cheers for your help!

Hi @Fabiano! thanks for contacting us about this. You are right, the en.ini file contains the text of the program, so creating an it.ini is the first step for the translation.

Then you can create a package (create a .zip and rename the extension to .aseprite-extension) to distribute your translation, the .zip must contain your it.ini file and other file named package.json: Aseprite - Docs - Extensions

In the languages project you can see some examples about how to package other languages, for example French or Portuguese.

I hope it helps!

Hello @dacap

Thanks so much for your help!
I created an extension package ready to be downloaded and tested.

IT language Aseprite extension:

IT language .zip:

For any feedback or suggestion, contact me here on the forum or write a mail to the address you find in the package description (try again in case I don’t reply in a few days, the message could have been thrown into the spam closet from the stupid spam filter).

Add it to the GitHub Project so people can see it more easily.

Hi @Francicoria! I thought about doing it but which files should I add to the repo?
Just the text file with the strings?

Francicoria · May 9, 2020, 4:22pm

Look at the others folders and copy them.

Fabiano · May 24, 2020, 11:34pm

Alright, I think everything’s setup on GitHub.

# aseprite_italian
A translation of Aseprite to Italian

Ho tradotto quasi tutto ciò che si legge a schermo usando Aseprite, ma probabilmente incontrerete ancora qualche scritta in inglese quà e là. Probabilmente ciò è dovuto al fatto che quelle scritte non si trovano nel file .ini contenente le stringhe, ma da qualche altra parte nel programma, sono certo che diventeranno traducibili (o magari lo sono già, eheh).

Se volete contribuire alla traduzione potete contattarmi sul forum di Aseprite, in questo thread: https://community.aseprite.org/t/italian-translation/4507
oppure scrivermi direttamente via mail all'indirizzo fabiano.caputo@outlook.it

Ho diversi altri progetti in ballo quindi probabilmente non riuscirò ad aggiornarla in tempo reale con le nuove versioni di Aseprite, per cui ogni contributo alla traduzione è più che benvenuto, oltre che ogni feedback aperto a discussione!

# Istruzioni d'installazione

Per installare la traduzione, scaricate l'ultima versione del file .aseprite-extension
qui: https://github.com/FabianoIlCapo/aseprite_italian/releases

e, con Aseprite precedentemente installato sul vostro pc, fate doppio clic sul file.
Vi apparirà una finestra che vi chiede se volete di installare l'estensione, scegliete "Install".
Dopodiché cliccate su "Apply". Prima di chiudere la finestra delle preferenze di Aseprite, aprite il pannello "General" nella colonna a sinistra e nel campo Language, scegliete "it". Cliccate su "OK" o "Applica".

Fatto!

@Francicoria can you try to see if you can download and use the translation?

And @dacap now you can add this translation to the list on your project if you like.

Francicoria · May 25, 2020, 6:14pm

Yeah, I can use it with no problem. I will help with the translation and I wish others will do. Thanks

dacap · May 26, 2020, 11:13am

Thanks @Fabiano! I’ll add a link to your repository in languages
