We're using this to translate our strings.

It seems to work 100% inside intellij in smp and ssp.

 

But when I produce the jar it stops working.

In and ssp it just shows the english strings and in smp it does only show the placeholder strings.

The server cannot do translation.  The server does not know what language the player has their client set to.  Translation can only occur on the client.

So we will have to send a message to the client and ask for the translation for each translation we want to do?

You're already sending a message to the client.  When it's received, translate it.  It may already even be passing through a translation step, you'd have to check.

It seems to work great in Intellij, But on the server it doesn't seem to work at all, strangely.

Strangely? There are many display things that only the client can or should do. Some confusions can be masked inside an IDE and/or SP because the client classes are present.

 

player.sendMessage(new TextComponentTranslation(message));

 

I suggest that you step into and through the TextComponentTranslation constructor (and any calls it might make to other methods). If/when you start to see it grabbing client-side data, then its place client-side should make more sense. I suspect that it is designed to let each client translate in its own way (e.g. into client-specific language), something the server can't do for multiple players.

 

Even looking at the way you call it, I can see that you expect it to do the same translation for every player before handing the message to a player-specific method. That alone is fishy.

        new TextComponentTranslation(message).getFormattedText();

 

I have to use the above to get the formatedString on the client? For a GUI for example?

 

I will test something today, it's possible that something happens with the message string and it doesn't arrive correctly outside of intellij.

Yes I want both and I just found out that I'm sending some additional info in the message string sometimes. That's why it doesn't translate some messages on the server.

Will take care of that.

 

Thanks for the help.

Some more questions:

 

If I want to send the player something like "LanguageString1" + "LanguageString2" meaning both need separate translations can I do this like this:

 

new TextComponentTranslation(message1).appendSibling(new TextComponentTranslation(message2));

 

and if I want to append strings or integers like "LanguageString1" + "100" + "Oak logs" can I do it like this?:

 

new TextComponentTranslation(message1).appendString("100" + "Oak logs");

Why not just test it yourself?

Because everything always works great in intellij.

I'd have to build the jar, host a server on my laptop, start the client and test it like this with every change I make.

Okay it seemed to work when I want to concatenate the strings

 

But If I want to format a string like this: tile.blockHutTownHall.messageColonistDead=The colonist %s has died at %d %d %d!

 

and I want to insert strings and integers I don't know how to do it yet =(

You do the %s and %d stuff in your lang file:

https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism/blob/master/src/main/java/com/draco18s/farming/item/ItemButcherKnife.java#L37

But shouldn't I translate it with the TextComponentTranslation instead of the:  "I18n.format"

And how should I do that on the server?

If you look at the TextComponentTranslation class you'll see that it uses I18n.

Yeah but I won't be able to send that to the player to be translated.
