Community Translations — Help Wanted (49 new strings)

[TheCodingDad-TisonK]

🌍 Community Translation Project

Fertilizer Depot supports 26 languages, but 49 strings added in recent updates are still showing [EN] placeholders across all 25 non-English language files. Native speakers are very welcome to help!

How to Contribute

1. Find your language file in translations/ (e.g. translation_de.xml for German)
2. Search the file for any strings starting with [EN] — those are the ones that need translation
3. Replace [EN] value with the correct native translation
4. Post the updated file as an attachment in a comment below, or open a PR

Reference: Use translation_en.xml as the source of truth for all key meanings.

Note on format strings: %s, %.0f, %d are game-engine placeholders (numbers/names injected at runtime) — keep them in place. 
 is a newline character in XML — keep it as-is.

This is a community translation tracker, not a bug. 49 new strings need translation across 25 language files. Community contributions welcome — see the issue body for the full string table and submission instructions.

[TheCodingDad-TisonK]

I owe both contributors an apology, and a correction to my own earlier comment on this thread.

@squall39 posted the French file on 22 May. @Drehverschluss posted the German file on 26 July. Neither has been merged. I checked the files in the repo rather than trusting the thread, and all 49 keys are still sitting there as [EN] in both translation_fr.xml and translation_de.xml:

<text name="fd_depot_select_btn" text="[EN] Select"/>
<text name="fd_products_tab" text="[EN] Products"/>
<text name="fd_delivery_place_btn" text="[EN] Place Delivery Order"/>

That is 53 untranslated strings out of 97 in each file. So two people did the work, posted it properly in the requested format, and it went nowhere. That is on our side, not theirs, and my comment above saying "community contributions welcome" while two contributions were already sitting unmerged in the thread was not a great look either.

Both files are flagged for merging now, and I will post here when they are actually in rather than when they are queued.

One extra note that came up while checking: a key has been added since those files were posted, input_FD_HUD_DRAG ("Toggle Delivery HUD Edit Mode"), for the movable delivery HUD. Whoever merges will add that one on top. @squall39 and @Drehverschluss, no need to redo anything, your files stand.

The other 23 languages are still open if anyone wants to take one.
