Some probs about translating commands & cvars

i think you could use the gpl gettext library to handle the bulk of the translation.

Thanks for the reply!

I tried to implant it, but I found it so hard to use that I prefer to remove it from my own project.

I then created an hard-coded "unreal-like" locale system with ini files corresponding to our language.

Also, I left too my cvar-like locale system to implant it to QuakeC, making translated mods easier. Anyway, I'm left with one another problem:

I noticed than G_STRING cannot return a variable at all (left operand must be l-value), while G_INT/FLOAT/VECTOR/--- can.

Is there a possible solution to return a string value?

[Spike]

G_INT(OFS_RETURN) = "your char* here" - pr_string_table;

note that the above is not 64bit safe.
see PF_ftos for an existing example.

Oh, you're right about ftos, I haven't noticed it at all... I was being concentrated on G_STRING, and not about some other built-in string functions ...

Anyway, thanks Spike for this!
