Test your translations
It is possible to download translation files from Transifex so you can work with an external editor or test your translations in-game.
For in-game testing, it is recommended to use a fresh Xonotic autobuild or git build, because new strings are added or modified during the development process.
On Transifex, select the common.pot resource:
- Select "Download for use" if you wish to test the translation in-game.
- Select "Download file to translate" if you wish to edit the PO file with an external tool (such as poedit)
- Select "Upload file" if you wish to upload a PO file that you edited on your computer.
In order to test your translation in-game, rename the PO file as common.*.po, where * is your language code (fr for French, de for German...).
If you don't know what your language code is, please have a look at the PO files located in the xonotic-data.pk3dir repository.
Then copy the PO file in the data subdirectory of your Xonotic user directory. The user directory location depends on your Operating System: https://xonotic.org/faq/#config
You're done! Simply start Xonotic and check your latest translation changes.
