[Translation] Simplified Chinese (zh-cn) Translation Plugin Beta

[nanovortexxcopy-collab]

Hello everyone,
I have created a Simplified Chinese (zh-cn) translation plugin for Reggie Next.
It uses the official external translation method (adding files to reggiedata/translations).

I translated strings.xml, spritedata.xml, and other text files.
Could anyone help me test it? You can download the zip file below.

Hey, I unfortunately do not know Chinese, so I cannot verify the validity of the translations, however I do want to clarify that we will not be accepting any translation plugins on the repository (if that is what you were asking, apologies if it wasn't). This is mainly due to the added work it would take to add, modify, or remove translatable strings, as I would need to update them for every language. Like mentioned before, I do not know Chinese, or really any language besides English, so I simply would not be able to keep other languages up to date.

However, I do appreciate your effort in making a translation of Reggie Next. Despite us not adding any translations here, it is still very much helpful to others. ❤️

Hi @MandyIGuess,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to reply!

I completely understand your concerns about the technical maintenance and the difficulty of keeping various language strings up to date in the main repository. No worries at all! I have successfully finished the localization on my end, and everything works perfectly using the external reggiedata/translations method.

I really want to thank you for providing the developer translation guide (dev_translations.html). It was incredibly clear, well-structured, and made my entire localization patch possible!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you and the team. The tool you have built is absolutely phenomenal. I love your work, and I truly hope that Reggie Next continues to be widely used by New Super Mario Bros. Wii developers all around the world.

I will keep my translation patch available here for the Chinese-speaking community. Thank you again for creating such a masterpiece!

Best regards！
