Just a certain dichotomy between two languages. I am preparing a scenario where there must be explanatory texts. I think these texts in French, I prepare my text in French, I translate the text in English to put it in the text.lua file and I run the game to see if the displays correspond to my expectations. Of course the text that appears is in English and I have to make a big effort to find where I am in the scenario. All this being explained, is it possible that I start using a .mo file which would allow me to have the texts in French. If so, where should I put it and under which directory? Otherwise I will have to separate my brain in two, a French part, an English part. I'm afraid I won't endure this operation long before I'm going crazy.

Your scenario must then include the textdomain by calling `push_textdomain("scenario_xy.wmf")` at the start of your scenario's `init.lua`. Top Quote

Just a little thing, looking at the 'init.lua' of other scenarii I found 'set_textdomain' instead of 'push textdomain'. Does it make a fundamental difference?

All lua scripting should always use `push_textdomain` instead. See https://www.widelands.org/documentation/autogen_globals/#string.push_textdomain Top Quote

When I have to learn a new language, I always take inspiration from what has been written before, I don't necessarily read all the documentation from A to Z, especially if it is only in English.

If you want to write the scenario specifically for this older version, just use `set_textdomain` instead. But if you want to support both old and new versions for maximum user friendliness you could use this: `if push_textdomain then push_textdomain("scenario_aa_survival.wmf") else set_textdomain("scenario_aa_survival.wmf") end` Btw "addon" is just the name of a parameter so the complete function call is actually `push_textdomain("scenario_aa_survival.wmf", false) push_textdomain("scenario_aa_survival.wmf", true)` You only need to set the second parameter if you want to package your mission as an add-on.

If there is a new stable version somewhere I'm ready to install it. Ok for the term "addon", I haven't understand. PS: I had never seen a line from Lua before last week, I don't know how to interpret error messages yet.

It contains a number of major changes to the Lua API, with the intention to offer a more stable (and forward-compatible) API from version 1.0 onwards. Note that our online documentation always refers to the most recent development version; it is assumed and recommended that most people who develop game content will be using the latest state-of-the-art rather than a stable release.

Please let me some time to be at the top and to use the "latest state-of-the-art" release. I risk having enough problems with a language that I do not yet master (Lua) without taking the risk of having the errors of an unstable version. Soon, very soon, I promise you that I will upgrade to the latest version stable or not.
