Hi everyone, a few people have asked whether it would be possible to translate (or "localize") the card editor into different languages. Until now, I've always said no - unfortunately this would be too much work.
While it would indeed be far too much work to translate the entire editor interface for non-English languages, I was given the idea today (merci, Julien!) that actually, only the titles of the stats need to change, to make cards usable by non-English-speaking players. All the other text on the cards is entered by the user, so can be in whatever language they see fit.
It's a bit awkward to make this work I'm afraid, and you will need to repeat this each time you download a new version - but new versions are so rare now that hopefully, you won't find that a problem - you may only ever need to do this once.
- Download and unzip the app as normal.
- Find the file "ImpAss.CardEditor.exe.config" in the folder where you unzipped the app.
- Open that file with Notepad (or other text editor of your choice).
- Find the following lines, and edit the values as appropriate for the language of your choice.
<add key="HealthText" value="Health"/> <add key="SpeedText" value="Speed"/> <add key="DefenseText" value="Defense"/> <add key="AttackText" value="Attack"/>
- For example, for your cards to be rendered in French, you would change it to look like this:
<add key="HealthText" value="Vie"/> <add key="SpeedText" value="Vitesse"/> <add key="DefenseText" value="Defense"/> <add key="AttackText" value="Attaque"/>
- Save the .config file, run the app as normal, and design your cards!
As always, you can download the latest version, which includes these changes, from here . Enjoy!
