Locale.lua & Translate.lua how it is working?

[CKaan 1]

So I basically have these inside the file,

 

And I am trying to add official questline to the server,

Quote

state gotoinfomation begin
        when letter begin
            send_letter(gameforge.main_quest_lv1._10_sendLetter)

Questline has these gameforge.main_quest_lv1._10_sendLetter function or whatever it is called.

Do I have to add this function to bottom of the line of locale.lua or translate.lua for this quest line to work like this;

Quote

gameforge.main_quest_lv1 = {}
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._10_sendLetter = "TEXT TEXT TEXT "
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._20_say = " TEXT TEXT TEXT! "
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._30_targetVid = " FİND SQUARE GARD TEXT "
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._40_sayTitle = "TEXT TEXT TEXT "
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._50_sayReward = " TEXT TEXT TEXT "
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._60_sayTitle = " TEXT TEXT TEXT"
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._70_say = "TEXT TEXT TEXT! "
gameforge.main_quest_lv1._80_say = " TEXT TEXT TEXT"

I have them translated just wanted to keep them look small^ If I copy paste this into locale or translate.lua will it work or do i have to add them somewhere else also? I don't know how much problem it would cause so..

Hello,

Those "gameforge.main_quest_lv1._10_sendLetter" are strings from translate.lua.

Just add your new lines in translate.lua and everything will work just fine.

If you add a new line in a quest with say, say_title and so on like "gameforge.main_quest_lv1._101_sendLetter" just be sure this new string is translated in translate.lua too.

You can paste it wherever you want, it doesn't matter, or you can paste near the other translates for the same quest to keep an ordered translate.lua.

 

Locale.lua is actually used for the ingame strings not quests lines, like system messages from the chat (e.g. "you dropped sword+0").
