You can translate CraftStudio in your own language, and it's pretty easy!
List of existing translations[]
(This list is awfully out of date, your best bet is to simply check the translations available in-game and offer to help if a translation for your language isn't available or out of date) Translations are named by their language codes (list of possible codes )

How to start a new translation[]
Before starting, please make sure you don't duplicate effort by checking the table of existing translations above.
Once you've started working on your translation, make sure to add it to the table!
Downloading the files[]
Localization files (the files containing the strings to translate) are hosted at https://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/craftstudio-i18n/src. If you know how to use Mercurial / BitBucket, go ahead and fork the repository.
Otherwise, you need to download the following files:
- CraftStudio/Common.resx
- CraftStudio/BlockTypeShapes.resx
- CraftStudio/BlockShapeFaces.resx
- CraftStudio/GameObjectComponents.resx
- CraftStudioLauncher/Strings.resx
You might want to use Simple Resx Editor for editing and updating translations, it looks pretty great.
Create your own language files[]
Create a copy of all the above files by adding a dot and your language code before ".resx" to their name. For instance: "Common.resx" becomes "Common.pt-BR.resx" for Brazilian Portuguese.
Edit the files[]
Replace the content of the <value> tags inside tags (don't edit <value> tags in <resheader> tags!) with your favorite text editor (Notepad++ is a good one). Don't edit anything else!
If you can, ensure your files are encoded in UTF-8 (In Notepad++, click the Encoding menu and select Convert to UTF-8). If you can't do it, don't worry, I'll take care of it.
Submit your translation[]
The simplest way to submit your translation is to send it by e-mail to elisee@craftstud.io If you know how to use Mercurial, you could commit your changes, push them to a public repository and send me a pull request
Thanks for translating CraftStudio! :D
Translating the website[]
To translate the websites, you'll need to:
- download https://bitbucket.org/sparklinlabs/craftstudio-i18n/raw/tip/craftstud.io/en.json, rename it to your own language code and translate the values on the right (don't touch the keys on left).
- download the following files, replace "en" with your own language code and translate everything except the double-bracketted tags.
You can then send the files to me by e-mail (elisee at craftstud.io). Thanks a bunch!
(Alternatively you can fork the repository on bitbucket and send me a pull request)
