I've tryed to translate a game to swedish, but every time I click "Create compiled translation" it says It has no Translated lines in it. Does anyone know why? Is this maybe beacuse I use swedish letters/characters?
Have you by any chance replaced the text in the translation source instead of writing the translation below in the empty line?
Err, yeah. O.O Was that the problem?
Most likely, yes. ;)
I'm not familiar with swedish letters and if they are supported by true type fonts in AGS, so that may become another problem. Just report back if you have any more problems.
Thank you, strazer! It worked...but not when I start the game. It says it has unknown characters. It says I have to import a TTF font. Do you know where to find this?
There are numerous sites out there with True Type fonts (TTF). I like http://www.abstractfonts.com/fonts/
Here is a Day of the Tentacle-style font: http://12.22.230.41/MicroTech/Hosted/Game/Dayofthetentacles.zip
Import it in AGS and, if you only want to use it for the translation, enter the new font's number at the top of the translation file.
Well, I need a font that includes the åäö (Swedish characters) in it. They are almost used in every swedish word. I've tryed to searc for swedish fonts in that site. And in AGS, But I haven't found one.
Surely you have ones on your computer that have these characters? Look in your C:\Windows(or Winnt)\Fonts folder.
They might not look so nice, but they should suffice for testing.
Dang. I tryed. But the åäö Isn't there, since my comp is installed on the english version of Windows XP. I'll have to use the english version. It would work on the Swedish version. Anyway, Thanks so much for helping me strazer!
Erm, Arial and Times New Roman have those characters. And how do you think your browser displays the very same characters you typed into your message? AGS uses the Tahoma font (I believe). You could try that instead, as a last resort.
Btw, does it still say that some of the characters are not supported when you use a TTF? Or does it just display some other characters instead of these special ones?

It shows all the english characters, but I cant see any swedish.
There is a problem when wrong characters may be displayed. AGS only supports using the first 256 characters from a TTF file (when making a translation file). So, if your special characters are out of that range you may need to edit a TTF file with some ttf font-editing program (ex, Font Creator (http://www.high-logic.com/fcp.html)) and replace those wrong characters with your language special ones. This, however, can be a problem if AGS doesn't display any characters there where the special ones are supposed to be.
