PS3 Apollo Save Tool translation support

After a long time thinking about this feature, I'm adding localization support (translations) to Apollo save tool. (ps3 / ps4 / psp / vita)

If you want to help translating Apollo to your language:
  1. Get the translation template file: https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-ps3/blob/master/docs/translate.po
  2. Use a tool like Poedit to open and edit the translations for each string. (Poedit is free https://poedit.net/download and supports Windows, Linux, Mac)
  3. Submit the translated file here so I can add it to the next release.

I'm starting with the PS3 version, but since all editions share a ton of stuff across all platforms, this translation will help and provide 95% of the translation effort for all other (ps4 / psp / vita)

I bet you can use AI tools to help and translate, but I prefer that local speakers take time to review and create the translations so the quality is as good as possible

Current translated languages (PS3):
  • French (Algol)
  • Italian (theheroGAC)
  • Japanese (yyoossk)
  • Portuguese (Phoenixx1202)
  • Spanish (Bucanero)

Salut @bucanero :

Je suis le "Algol" que tu connais. Je ne peux pas utiliser le "Poedit" que tu indiques car il me fournit un icône gris avec le cercle barré sur le logiciel. J'ai pu passer par TextEdit de mon MacMini sous le X.11.6 (El Capitan) et je peux te fournir cette traduction sous le format Texte, je ne peux pas mieux faire. Le fichier est identique (format affiché) à ton original.
J'ai vérifié deux fois (relecture) le fichier que je peux t'envoyer, si tu l'acceptes je te l'envoie rapidement.

J'aurai aussi des questions à te poser en privé pour la traduction des fichiers de cheats du "GoldHEN v2.14b18.3" de la PS4. Mon problème est leur accès depuis l'extérieur en lecture puis lorsqu'ils sont traduits les remettre dans la console (PS4 Pro sous le v9.00 mais aussi PS4 Slim sous le v11.00) depuis une liaison externe en ETH ou WiFi. Ce serai génial si tu peux m'aider à faire cela.


In English via Google Trad :

I'm the "Algol" you know. I can't use the "Poedit" you mentioned because it gives me a gray icon with a crossed-out circle on the software. I was able to use TextEdit on my Mac Mini running X.11.6 (El Capitan) and I can provide you with this translation in Text format; I can't do better. The file is identical (displayed format) to your original.
I've double-checked (proofread) the file I can send you; if you accept it, I'll send it to you quickly.

I also have some questions to ask you privately about translating the cheat files for the "GoldHEN v2.14b18.3" for the PS4. My problem is accessing them from the outside in read mode, and then, once they're translated, putting them back into the console (PS4 Pro running v9.00 but also PS4 Slim running v11.00) via an external ETH or WiFi connection. It would be great if you could help me do this.

thanks for the french translation. I had to do some minor adjustment to the file so it matches the correct format, but everything looks good.

If you have a PS3 available that can run Apollo, I can provide a test build so you can check in your system if everything looks ok too.

The cheat files are stored in "/data/GoldHEN/cheats/" in your ps4. You can access with FTP or a tool like Lapy File Explorer. The files are usually in JSON (.json) or XML (.shn) format, you'll need some editor to change the text and then you can re-upload using FTP or file explorer.
There's nothing special beyond doing that. But keep in mind if you update cheats from internet, your files will be overwritten with the original english cheat files.
 
Merci mon ami, tu es merveilleux et tu peux me fournir le fichier de test PS3 pour essais.
Pour les fichiers au format ".json" ou ".shn", quel éditeur ? "TextEdit" peut-il suffire ?

Thank you, my friend. You're wonderful, and can you provide me with the PS3 test file for testing?
For files in ".json" or ".shn" format, which editor should I use? Would "TextEdit" suffice?

Try this .pkg on your PS3: https://www.mediafire.com/file/05gwdxlrwjk0uri/apollo-ps3.pkg/file

Note: set your ps3 system language to French, then run Apollo. Your translation should be auto-loaded
(Apollo detects and matches the system region, like if the system language is Italian, it will load the italian translation file)

Let me know your results!


For files in ".json" or ".shn" format, which editor should I use? Would "TextEdit" suffice?
Click to expand...

Yes, .json and .shn are text files , so any text editor should be ok. You might find specific JSON or XML editors if you prefer to simplify the editing process.
 
Est-ce toujours la version v2.2.0 de APOLLO ou est-ce une autre version ?
Is this still APOLLO v2.2.0 or is it another version ?
Les fichiers au format ".mc4" peuvent-ils être édités pour être modifiés en FR ?
Can files in ".mc4" format be edited to be modified in FR ?

it's just like v2.2.0 , no difference except the translation.
Also, I forgot some messages from the Settings menu, can you update the french file? few missing messages at the bottom:

Can files in ".mc4" format be edited to be modified in FR ?
Click to expand...

MC4 is an encrypted format (it's like .shn files but with ugly encryption). To edit you'll have to decrypt first (I made a tool for PC to decrypt, also my PS4 Cheat Manager app can decrypt MC4 files), then you can edit.
After edit, there's no need to encrypt again: much better to rename extension to ".shn" and copy to the ps4 with all the other .shn files.
 
@bucanero : j'ai DL le fichier, je le traduit et te le retourne.

PS : peux-tu m'aider pour me connecter à la PS4 (en v9.00 ou v11.00) via Ethernet ou via le WiFi ??? et comment faire en détail STP ??? Quel paramètre à la PS4 et au logiciels pour l'accéder depuis l'extérieur car c'est plus rapide pour moi.


@bucanero: I downloaded the file, I'll translate it, and send it back to you.

PS: Can you help me connect to the PS4 (v9.00 or v11.00) via Ethernet or WiFi ??? And how do I do it in detail, please ??? What settings do I need on the PS4 and the software to access it from outside, as it's faster for me ???

en trop ...

Voici le fichier complet en fichier joint :

@bucanero : dès que tu le peux, fais-moi parvenir le nouveau PKG de Apollo avec ma ressource Française que je t'ai retourné la plus récente. Merci.

As soon as you can, send me the new Apollo PKG with my French resource that I sent you the most recent. Thank you.

@bucanero :

Petit complément, je teste actuellement le 1er APOLLO que tu m'as envoyé et il y a des manques dans les traductions en Français. Par exemple, dans la page "Paramètres", tout le texte à gauche de l'écran est en Anglais et celui à droite est bien en Français.
Par la suite, je te proposerai d'autres améliorations si tu l'acceptes.

As a quick note, I'm currently testing the first APOLLO you sent me, and there are some gaps in the French translations. For example, on the "Settings" page, all the text on the left side of the screen is in English, while the text on the right side is in French.
I'll suggest other improvements later, if you agree.

@bucanero :

J'ai repris la traduction du dernier fichier que tu m'as donné et je le met en lien. Merci pour le nouveau APOLLO que tu vas me faire parvenir avec ces modifications.
I've taken the translation of the last file you gave me and I'm linking it. Thank you for the new APOLLO that you're going to send me with these modifications.

Yes, I missed the "Settings" menu but it's fixed now, please test this .pkg:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/05gwdxlrwjk0uri/apollo-ps3.pkg/file

I have included the latest version of your french translation file. Thanks for testing

Cette application pour Windows est-elle compatible Win7 en 32 bits ?
Is this Windows application compatible with Win7 32-bit ?

@bucanero :
Je viens de "tester" ton application "MC4-Cheat-Decrypter.exe" et même avec les modes de compatibilité "Win7" et le mode administrateur, celle-ci ne fonctionne pas. Quand je la lance, une page s'ouvre très rapidement avec un texte puis se ferme aussitôt. Si je traine dessus le PRG un fichier MC4 elle fait la même chose.
Ton programme est-il compatible avec Win7 en 32 bits ???

I just "tested" your application "MC4-Cheat-Decrypter.exe" and even with "Win7" compatibility modes and administrator mode, it doesn't work. When I launch it, a page opens very quickly with some text and then closes immediately. If I drag the PRG file onto it, an MC4 file, it does the same thing.
Is your program compatible with Win7 in 32-bit?

UTF8 charset is available, so unicode should be fine.

Just keep in mind that PS3 didn't have Slovak as supported language, so Apollo won't auto-detect it.
If a user wants to enable it, it will have to manually copy the file and for example replace the English language file. (if the system is set to English)

Greek translation for PS3 version of Apollo

Ps3 XMB was translated unofficially in Greek earlier. I also tried that XMB translation on 4.86 rebug and it worked fine. Hope it does too on Apollo

Thanks for sharing, I've added your greek translation to the apollo-ps3 project.

it's a command-line tool, no GUI at all. It's working fine on windows 7 32bits. You need to execute it from command prompt and use the correct syntax.

@bucanero is the portuguese translation PT-BR or PT-PT? i can make the PT-BR one
Click to expand...

I think the translation by Phoenixx1202 is PT-BR. But feel free to check the file (is already on github) and compare , if you see something that can be improved just submit suggestions.

Merci pour cette réponse. Pourrais-tu m'indiquer la syntaxe correcte pour cet utilitaire s'il te plait. J'ai l'intention de modifier les quelques fichiers MC4 qui n'ont pas d"équivalent avec les fichiers JSON de ma PS4.
De plus, je ne peux pas tester le nouveau APOLLO avant samedi prochain (le 25/10) car je dois récupérer la PS3 ce jour là. Je te demande de m'excuser pour le dérangement.

Thank you for this reply. Could you please point me to the correct syntax for this utility? I plan to modify the few MC4 files that don't have an equivalent in my PS4's JSON files.
Also, I can't test the new APOLLO until next Saturday (October 25th) because I have to pick up the PS3 that day. I apologize for the inconvenience.
