Collectible Card Game Headquarters

Hi all,

I'm trying to translate card names and info of all the cards into spanish (or other languages automatically using the info from scryfall).

I have done a python script to automatically translate the card info contained in each .txt card file in cardsfolder. zip with the info retrieved from scryfall. I want to translate the following fields: Name, Types and Oracle. Here is the result of abbot_of_keral_keep.txt:

Code: Select all

Name:Abad de la Fortaleza Keral           
ManaCost:1 R
Types:Criatura - Monje humano
PT:2/1
K:Prowess
T:Mode$ ChangesZone | Origin$ Any | Destination$ Battlefield | ValidCard$ Card.Self | Execute$ TrigMill | TriggerDescription$ When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card.

But when I launch the game it crashes... I don't know where it checks the card names when launching.
Could you please help me? It would be nice to have automatically translated cards.

Here is the python script I have done (remove the spaces in the url, 1st post here and I cannot post urls...):

Hi all,

I've achieved to automatically translate all cards except the name and the card type, because Forge uses them internally. I've changed the script and now I use the offline .json file from Scryfall that contains all the info about All Cards (https: //archive.scryfall. com/json/scryfall-all-cards.json)

The script translates the different Description$ and Oracle text of all the cards into the selected language.

It compares the original text in english with some parts of the translated text if there is a translation available, and it gets the text that have the maximum likelihood with the original. Sometimes it fails with the chosen translation, but I think it works really well.

Here is the script:

Code: Select all

import json
import os
from difflib import SequenceMatcher

def similar(a, b):
    return SequenceMatcher(None, a, b).ratio()

database = "scryfall-all-cards.json"
directory = "cards"
translateddirectory = "cardstranslated"
language = 'es'

def sanitize(text):
    # replace accute vowels
    text = text.replace("Á", "A")
    text = text.replace("É", "E")
    text = text.replace("Í", "I")
    text = text.replace("Ó", "O")
    text = text.replace("Ú", "U")

    text = text.replace("á", "a")
    text = text.replace("é", "e")
    text = text.replace("í", "i")
    text = text.replace("ó", "o")
    text = text.replace("ú", "u")

    # replace ñ
    text = text.replace("ñ", "ny")

    return text

def removenewline(text):
    text = text.replace('\n', '\\n')
    return text

def removeinitialicon(text):
    initial = text.find(': ')
    if initial != -1:
        text = text[initial+2:]

    text = text.lstrip()

    return text

with open(database) as json_file: 
    data = json.load(json_file)
    found = False

    for folder in ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z', 'upcoming']:

As you can see, you can choose other languages to translate modifying this line:

Code: Select all

language = 'es'

And then you should modify the sanitize function to include your language special characters and their equivalent to ASCII.

Here is the spanish translation of carddata.zip from Forge 1.6.27
Put that file into /res/cardsfolder/
