DBI 912 Localization

on GitHub

🌍 DBI Multilingual Localization (v0.0.105)

This release provides translations for DBI version 912.

✨ What's new

• DBI 912 support. The runtime-translation engine is now part of this repository (vendor/dbi_translate, originally 0xroast/dbi-translate) and supports DBI 905 and 912.
• Smooth menus. Translation lookups use a hash index instead of scanning the whole table for every line. Menus, context menus and settings no longer lag (#28).
• More stable patch. The patcher no longer keeps its state on top of DBI's own text buffers, which could corrupt some lines and reload the table.
• Game info panel translated — tabs (Content / Tickets / Saves) and the Name / Author / Version / Language rows (#25).
• Clean Cyrillic translations. Ukrainian, Belarusian and Kazakh no longer get mixed words such as "Такмпити" or cut words such as "Видалит" in context menus.
• Version line at the top shows the translation language, e.g. 912-ua.
• New DBI 912 strings translated for all languages: transfer progress lines, theme menu, panel hints, total play time.

✨ Cyrillic glyph repair

The bundled DBI.nro repairs the embedded glyphs Є/є, І/і, and Ї/ї used by Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Kazakh translations.
