Multiple languages
#1

Hey,

I needed a small advice... since my server mode is "DayZ" and most of dayz players are russians and br's, i thought how about translate the gm to those languages aswell & ask them on register about language.

So the question is, is it a good idea translating?
How does translations work? i mean.. i never translated

IMO you'll make it more difficult for yourself to effectively manage your server. Especially if you yourself don't master the language you're translating to. Brazilians and Russians, to name a few, play on servers that are in their language precisely because they don't master English. If you translate your server to one of those languages you'll attract more of those people. Clear communication will be an absolute bitch.

You Have to put a dialog Onplayerconnect So example
Код:
public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
      ShowPlayerDialog(playerid, 814, DIALOG_STYLE_LIST,"Select a Language", "English\nBrazillian", "Choose", "");

}
ondialogresponse (u can make a variable)

Код:
case Brazillian:
{
      BrazilianMode[playerid] = 1;
}
And in each CMD example:
Код:
CMD:cmds(playerid,params[])
{
      if(BrazilianMode[playerid] == 1)
      {
      //other code
      }     
      else if(EnglishMode[playerid] == 1)
      {
      //other code
      }
      return 1;
}
and for textdraws You can set strings for each one OnPlayerUpdate if variable Brazillian Mode = 1
So Set String To That one of braziliian

A lot of extra work there for few languages.

Sounds like this will make the server difficult to moderate, and that the playerbase will be fractured.

Correlli's seems best so far, yet not good enough for complex gamemodes.
