Dashboard redesign
Since the application itself got a complete overhaul in its design, it was only a matter of time before the in-tool Dashboard would meet the same fate.
I'm aiming for a 1:1 design between the Dashboard and the main application (with a few things left out), and although I've always had a lot of issues with making things look decent with IMGUI, it does seem it is more capable than I previously had thought. It's just a pain to work with when it comes to styling. Please let me know if you encounter any bugs with it!
Localization
I've been working on getting the localization workflow up and running in a decent state.
It's not quite there yet, and it will be an ongoing learning process to work with Weblate and any users wishing to contribute to the localization effort.
Mayhaps it isn't the sexiest thing to work on, for me or users of GameTranslate, but it is of outmost importance to get this going as early as possible as it is a monumental task that would only be more cumbersome to implement later on. And it goes without saying that localization for a translation application is a must, otherwise a lot of what the app is supposed to bring to the table for people around the globe isn't there.
You can follow the process here; https://gametranslate.app/sv/localization and here https://localize.gametranslate.app/projects/gametranslate/ And you should soon be able to participate in the massive effort of bringing human-made localization to GameTranslate. Please let me know if you're interested, you can contact me at [email protected], Discord, or any other site that GameTranslate is on.
A side note;
I've decided to make all option-based settings use English text only for their values. At least for now.
Reasoning:
It is much easier for me to communicate to users who do not speak any language that I speak, if I can direct them by using the English value.
Lots of values are very hard to translate in some languages. It makes more sense to explain, than to just have a one liner localized.
I am, with time, going to have each option explained in each setting's tooltip, with localized values.
Search settings
I've added WIP functionality for searching after specific settings in the main application. Expect it to be incomplete, but mostly functional. You can search both in English and your locale language if you have one selected.
Font rework
I decided to migrate from IMGUI 1.91 to 1.92 in this version which required a lot of rework for the font system. A bit too much work for my liking, but the good news is that the new system that IMGUI uses frankly is a lot better, and it will make fonts sharper across the board, especially when using the scaling functionality. There's more refinement to do here, but I think I'll leave most of it for a later date.
What's next?
I'm going away for a week and will be back next Wednesday. If things go well, GameTranslate should be aiming at an early-access release on Steam for the end of the month or early of the next one. Theres still a lot of work to be done for that to be realized, but I hope it can be done and it is absolutely essential for the app's survival at this point. We'll see how it goes.
