Thanks! I tried that, but it just prints "\n" to the screen instead of creating a new line except for Megaglest. Here is what ExitGame? looks like with the different engines:

[big]Glest 3.2.2:[/big]



[big]GAE:[/big]



Automatically breaks the line, problem solved. Window title still too long though.

[big]MegaGlest:[/big]



Here the line break is working, but the string is also used on the button. IMHO the best thing would be an additional string, something like:

Code: [Select]

; text field
ExitGame?=Exit game?
; button
ExitGame=Leave game
And here's some screenshots of my yes/no problem in the Options menu:

[big]Glest 3.2.2:[/big]



It should read air/dheth (on/off)

[big]GAE:[/big]

String isn't used, just a tick box. Problem solved.

[big]MegaGlest:[/big]

String isn't used, just a tick box. Problem solved.

I have just started on a translation for Scots Gaelic, and I decided to start with Glest_3.2.2 before I do the branches. Some of these issues will affect both branches, so I'm posting it here.

• *resolved*
• Assembled strings - can word order be made flexible, using %s, %d etc? For example, Initiate reqs
• UpgradeSpeed, ProductionSpeed, OrdersOnQueue etc - Can you switch off auto caps? They look really weird in Gaelic
• Gaelic repeats the verb in order to say yes/no. I have a conflict I can't resolve (ETA: see also my post below with the screen caps):
  
  Options -> Textures3D:
  Yes/no, should be on/off = Air/Dheth
  
  ExitGame?=Am bu toil leat an geama fhàgail?
  Yes/no =  Bu toil/Cha bu toil
  
  *resolved in GAE and MegaGlest* - strings removed
• Also, can a line break be added before ExitGame?
  My string is too long and I can't make it shorter. A new line would give me more space.
  
  *partially resolved in GAE* - automatic line break, but window title still a bit too long
