Translate SpaceSlog, a translation tool

[Daneel53]

Hello, dear friends SpaceSlog translators!

I'm happy to provide to the translation community my software Translate SpaceSlog that permit to:

• Generate the English Injected files to translate from the content of the Core folder of the game.
• Initialize automatically the translation of a new version, starting from the translation of a previous one.
• Edit and save all translated files.

The package contains:

• The software Translate SpaceSlog (with UI in English and French).
• A complete User Manual in English.
• Files required to reproduce the example described within the user manual. Even if it should normally not be there, I've placed into the folder v0.8.39\EN 0.8.3.9 the complete folder Core (except folder Language) of version 0.8.3.9 of SpaceSlog, so that users may reproduce the generation of the English Injected folder, starting from the Core folder of the game when version 0.8.3.9 will be replaced by a newer one.

I use this tool since several versions of SpaceSlog, notably to generate the Injected folder, so it should work fine. As we will wait a little before another pre-release build or demo of SpaceSlog is put on line, may be you will want to take the time to learn how to use this software before having to put again translation work on the table.

You can take the package with this link: https://bit.ly/4eDN4dv

Feel free to send me any remark and feedback if any.

Hello,

A fast message to state that the tool Translate SpaceSlog was updated since October 2024 and is currently delivered in version 1.1.1 dated March 23, 2025.

The package contains a User Manual in English that is written so that you can easily go through all the steps needed to achieve a complete translation of SpaceSlog, and later to update to a new version of the game, starting from a translation already done for a previous version.
One of the first step shall be to automatically generate the files to translate into the Injected folder (from the game folder Core) instead of producing them by hand.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or remarks upon the translation tool.

Hi,

Translate SpaceSlog is now in version 1.1.4 dated February 20, 2026.

I strongly recommend using this one with SpaceSlog 0.11.0.3 and later. There are small syntax errors into the file Strings.json (missing space after character ":" into new lines 95, 96 and 97) that cause a parsing error on these lines, preventing them to be into the translated files after the function "Initialize TL Lines".

I've updated the code of my tool to cope with this syntax error and, with Translate SpaceSlog version 1.1.4, these three lines are now read without parsing error.

The link given in the first message always point toward the latest version of Translate SpaceSlog.

I just updated Translate SpaceSlog to version 1.1.5 dated April 11, 2026.

As the number of folders into Core is always growing, I had to raise the size of some internal data to prevent a crash.

So to use my tool with SpaceSlog 0.12.0.1 and later, you must take this new version.

SpaceSlog still evolving, so I have to do with my translation tool.

As the game comes to 0.13.x.x, please take now Translate SpaceSlog 1.3.1 dated May 4, 2026 to translate all lines required for new releases of the game, mainly because there new IDs to translate and not only title and description.
I also greatly enhanced the opening of files into the main panel, see the Readme file for more details.
