ue-loc-tools's Introduction

Hey, I'm Alex, Localization Lead at Coffee Stain Publishing

I've got over 15 years of experience in the industry: as a video games translator, localization PM, lead PM, and even sales manager. Now I'm taking care of localization and integrations for most of our games.

I’m interested in localization, and how it works in UE and Unity
I’m currently learning UE, Unity, JS (for Google Apps Script), and a bit more Python
I’m looking to collaborate on UE and Unity localization and text improvements, sync scripts, and loc tools

Ping me here if you'd like to connect

ue-loc-tools's Issues

UE Project Info: Implement a class that gets all the Unreal-related info

Crowd: Volume estimates via branches

Script to estimate volume via branches:

Take and prep source locale
Create a branch
Upload the files to this branch
Pretranslate perfect?
Create a report
Save the report in a nice format
Delete branch

Classes: Rewrite the whole thing as classes via imports and not running scripts

// Should this be a separate project?

Big rewrite to change the toolset architecture

Each task is a class
loc-sync imports needed classes based on config
configs allow for more flexibility as they're not tied to file names
unreal engine-related tasks are the only exception? use template py files and generate specific py files for those tasks, run them from the same class-based system?

Local: Linter to check if every variable has a description in context

Create a script that will check source file and make sure that for every variable there is a description in context

Check variable name mentions
Type mentions (number, string, percentage, etc.)
Something else?

Logs: Filter out some Unreal logs

Log filtering to avoid irrelevant Unreal spam (e.g., LogLinker warnings in a project that doesn't care about it)

// Move from Grass to loc-tools

Logs: unify and simplify logs

Use utilities.init_logging to unify and simplify logging across all scripts

Add support for multiple projects in crowdin.config.yaml

Configure multiple projects in crowdin.config.yaml. Non-mandatory default project and a list of named project configs.

Configs: Rework configs

Allow for different Crowdin projects in tasks
Allow for different configs for the same scripts
Top-level parameters accessible to all scripts, overridable on per-task level
Use TOML instead of YAML (native Python support)?

Webhooks from Crowdin and an app on Zappa to launch actions?
Launching actions via GApps on timer?
Launching actions via GApps via menu items?

Advanced screenshots management: replace, restore, copy

Create a table of keys to screenshots tags (as opposed to Crowidn string IDs to screenshots)
Replace an existing screenshot keeping the tags
Identify outdated screenshots (by looking at all tags and seeing if one of them was dropped -- which might make the others outdated as well)
Copy/move screenshots to another project, reapplying tags by keys

Venv: use venv to ensure dependencies

Use venv and make it transparent for the user (use bat files?)
