Warcraft III Translations

wc3trans is a tool which can be used to update target war3map.wts files from a single source war3map.wts file. For example, if your map contains an English war3map.wts file like this:

STRING 0
// New comment
{
Same text.
}

STRING 1
// New entry
{
New text.
}

and it contains a German one in the sub folder _Locales\deDE.w3mod:

STRING 0
// Old comment
{
Gleicher Text.
}

STRING 2
// Old entry
{
Alter text.
}

which is outdated by now, you can use this tool to update it:

java -Dfile.encoding=utf8 -jar wc3trans.jar war3map.wts _Locales\deDE.w3mod\war3map.wts

It will automatically delete the old entry, add the new entry and update all comments resulting in

STRING 0
// New comment
{
Gleicher Text.
}

STRING 1
// New entry
{
New entry.
}

Obviously you still have to translate all English texts.

You can use multiple target files at once:

java -Dfile.encoding=utf8 -jar wc3trans.jar war3map.wts _Locales\deDE.w3mod\war3map.wts _Locales\frFR.w3mod\war3map.wts _Locales\plPL.w3mod\war3map.wts
