Catalan translation

Post by jagerjulia »

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on a Catalan translation for several classic games and I would like to add proper Catalan support to GZDoom / UZDoom instead of relying on language overrides.

I have noticed that the available languages are defined in the `language.csv` file and I would like to know the recommended way to add a new language entry for Catalan (`ca_ES`).

My questions are:

* Is there an officially preferred method to add a new language?
* Can this be done through a mod or external package, or does it require modifying the engine resources?
* Are there any guidelines regarding locale codes, font support, or language naming conventions?
* Would it be possible to submit Catalan support upstream if the translation becomes complete enough?

My goal is to provide a clean and maintainable Catalan localization for classic Doom-engine games.

Any advice, documentation or examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

For something like this, you would be best to post on the UZDoom GitHub pages: https://github.com/UZDoom/UZDoom/issues

A mechanism for providing translations is already in place, and contributions are welcome. The results will be integrated into the engine distribution packages when they are updated.

Translation contributions are handled through weblate: https://hosted.weblate.org/engage/uzdoom/
