Translating problem

[Volcan]

I got this message when I'm play a game translated.

The selected translation file was empty. The translation source may
have been translated incorrectly or you may have generated a blank
file.

Here my code in french translation. I just add a french
line.

// AGS TRANSLATION SOURCE FILE
// Format is alternating lines with original game text and replacement
// text. If you don't want to translate a line, just leave the following
// line blank. Lines starting with '//' are comments - DO NOT translate
// them. Special characters such as [ and %s symbolise things within the
// game, so should be left in an appropriate place in the message.
// **** GLOBAL MESSAGES ARE BELOW ****
Sorry, not now. Desole.
Pas maintenant.

Are you sure you want to quit?

You are carrying nothing.

Talking to yourself is a sign of madness!

You rub your hands up and down your clothes.

Damn, I'm looking good!

So what's wrong?

[evilspacefart]

you need to place a blank line before the translation.

No, he has made a different mistake:

// **** GLOBAL MESSAGES ARE BELOW ****
Sorry, not now. Desole.
Pas maintenant.
Restore

It should be:

Code: ags

// **** GLOBAL MESSAGES ARE BELOW ****
Sorry, not now.
Désolé. Pas maintenant.
Restore

You have to leave the original line as it is. AGS didn't recognise its "Sorry, not now." line because of your "Désolé." (Note the accents  )

Thanks ThunderStorm

I'll try it.
