Great, now tell me what character encoding you're getting and how you're going to interface with your output system.

Name: Anonymous 2012-01-01 19:22

[code]enum StringList {

     SaveLoadReadyLoad,

     SaveLoadLoading,

     SaveLoadNoneTitle

     /* ... */

}

I would make an enum like this, and use these as indices into the string table.

#define stringize(...) _stringize(__VA_ARGS__)

#define _stringize(...) #__VA_ARGS__

#define concat(x,...) _concat(x,__VA_ARGS__)

#define _concat(x,...) x##__VA_ARGS__

#define LanguageHeader(x) stringize(concat(lang_,x).h)

#include LanguageHeader(LANGUAGE)

If you only want a string table for a single language in the executable, you can always use the preprocessor.

And then in a separate file, do:

/* lang_English.h */

const char *StringTable[] = {

     "@a004@s016@i@cffd8af Loading the above save data.",

     "@a004@s016@i@cffd8af If you select it once more, the data will be loaded.",

     "@s024@cffdf3f- No Title."

     /* ... */

};

programming stumps me, I mean what the hell does an _ in front of a variable this is not in any of the tutorials i've found and let alone how to get information from the OS and finding information about all library or namespace functions...

what the hell is this suppose to mean?



'char strSaveLoadReadyLoad[] = "@a004@s016@i@cffd8af Loading the above save data.";

yeah, and what if the person using the product wants to change languages? Could be better to store all these strings in a file and load the file at start up. Or include every string of every language hardcoded into the binary.

I made my own one. It works pretty well.

You need a directory (in the example, it is just a directory called "translations"). Then you need a file for each language you want to translate into. If you had English and German, for example, you would have the files translations/english and translations/german. Every line in English has to be on the same line-number as its translation in German.

Example output:
[blockquote]$ ./lc.exe
Thank you Based Language Converter (English) = Vielen Dank Based Sprache Conver
er (German)[/blockquote]

Bear in mind I literally spent 30 minutes on this thing, so it's probably not robust.

I'm not sure whether it's better to have the user choose the source and destination languages just-in-time (when calling the Convert method) or ahead-of-time (when constructing the object). The former makes each Convert() call longer and more complex, while the latter requires having multiple objects. I went for the former in the end because I thought it was better, but IDK. Maybe if I was going to maintain that code I'd make it possible to do either.

Sorry, but you can't store Japanese characters in a char. You'll need a wchar.... and I'm pretty sure .c and .cpp files have to be ascii, so you'll need to find out the hex values of all those Japanese characters.

Or you could use 8-bit non-ASCII strings at runtime. Instead of figuring out what the hex values need to be, you can just use the corresponding ASCII value. I know of a few games that do this... and probably every 8-bit console game in Japanese does it.

Actually the encoding is unspecified. EBCDIC and Shift-JIS are perfectly acceptable character sets for C and C++ source code, that's why there are trigraphs and digraphs.

You're shit. C++ is a better progaming language than you'll ever be

>>61
I spent less than an hour on it. Also I like how you notice the lack of caching but not the fact that it breaks if there's a newline in srcString.

I'll add caching to the list of improvements to be made

To be honest I don't think any person is a good "progaming" language, or even programming language for that matter.

Granted, C++ is a really shitty language, it might so bad that it's actually worse than not having any programming language at all, in which case even people can be better programming languages than C++.
