Are you interested in a french version?

[cogent]

Are you interested in a french version?

Sure, it is also a widely used language.
But it is for the users, I can not speak french
OK I am joking, sure that will be great.
Thanks you for your offer, I would integrate it in the next version.

[david42fr]

Here is the french version.

Hope there's no error or misunderstanding because :

- I'm on a desktop without the dedicated server, so no test allowed!
- some settings are quite unknown for me (path to html web page/status for example)
FR.zip

When I'll be at home, I'll try it to test the differents settings and buttons!

--------

Edit: some info
- even if I select english, lot of things are in german
- when I launch server, on the PCars server tab, there's an error, impossible to see the web page

Continuing tests!

First, thank's for the FR language file.
I still have some text messages for example hardcoded, that's the reason why some things still are in german after changing language.

Regarding the Language of the Buttons, text is in the picture.

Put attached files in <Install Dir>\system\gfx" to "rename" two off the three Buttons.
The idea was to copy/rename the pictures depending on selected language in settings menu.
But as I already told, I add this after program is finish.

Here some older discussion regarding this:
http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/sho...l=1#post977878
Until now I have not implemented this "picture switch", but will do it for the next update.

If you get an error, please send me an picture of the error message so that I can fix it.
There are informations in the error message that helps me to find the line/issue in the code.
Try to launch Server from the settings Tab (TAB2). Will this produce the same error message?


Edit:
Ok I think I know what you meen regarding "- when I launch server, on the PCars server tab, there's an error, impossible to see the web page".
I have fixt it, please try it and confirm.
French can now be selected in settings menu.
Added also 18 new text variables for some of the hard coded language.

This .zip contains only the updated files.

New lines added. I fixed some errors.

The error is OK now, I've the server status (maybe you could make your software use fullscreen for viewing this tab?)
For the buttons, the english version is OK and french people will understand them!
Here's the file

Can you explain how it works with a private message, so I could translate it in Italian if you are interested

Thanks for the file and for the Feedback.
Today I will change few more things and release this fix together with the language files tomorrow as 0.5.

For full screen view you can use button 1 on Tab 1.
It opens the Status page with standard web browser.
But I also already thought to make the window bigger or option for fullscreen.
This will be necessary to show the results page without the need to scroll.
Loading the results page instead of the status page in Tab1 was already implemented. This caused the error you got, have removed it for now.


Settings explanation and Buttons explanation

Edit:
How can I make spoilers?

New Version 0.5:
Example picture

• Fixed some errors reported by users and changed some functions. (For example the integrated Status page that was not loaded correctly)
• Removed html web page for now but will rewrite it for version 0.6.
• Added new Status Window / Table with Session Information.
• Added more language files (EN,FR) shared by users (LiveWire, david42fr)

Online Virus Scan:
Detaction rate: using www.virustotal.com
I cannot avoid that some people get warnings.
Results from version 0.5 - (5/54)

Finally got it working. Didn't realise it had to go in the same directory as the dedicated server executable. Well that was the only way I could get it working.

Thanks.
