The ampersand is the mark for the access key: whichever letter follows it will become the access key. It doesn't need to follow English so C&reate using R, O&luştur using L, or Oluştu&r using R are all valid.

The trick is that wherever this text is shown the access key is ideally unique amongst other elements in that menu/page which I know is not super obvious from just the language files which is probably why favoring the English access key feels simpler. We can probably do better here (not exactly sure how right now), but in short you can do whatever feels natural to your language and the only challenge is if the letter is reused.

Thank you for the detailed answer. We will try our best to avoid reusing the shortcuts, however if it happens we will be testing and fixing it on next iteration.

and what about "_" (underscore) ? what it does? I believe it's similar but used with another command button.

Good point, underscore is another access key flag too for different kinds of forms. In that case, definitely use the same symbol from English :), hopefully we did it right 🤪

Hi Jason,I am a big fan of LaunchBox and I want to officially translate the Android application from English into the Azerbaijani language. Since the app is built with Kotlin Multiplatform/MAUI, I cannot access the standard values/strings.xml files directly from the APK.Could you please provide me with the official English resource packages or the localization platform link for the latest version? I have an AI assistant that will help me translate the entire package flawlessly into Azerbaijani. Once it's done, I will send the completed file back to you so it can be integrated into the official release.Thank you!

You cannot use this; the LaunchBox developers use it for the Windows version of LaunchBox. They are also preparing a new beta or the next release.

If you want to use it in Turkish, simply set your mobile phone's language to Turkish; many parts are already displayed in Turkish. However, the Turkish language might not be directly supported on the Android side.

Calling all translators ...

I have been working for quite a while on creating a place for us to manage translations, hopefully a little bit easier than the way that we've been doing it. It's a dedicated site that will collect all of our translations and make it easy for you to review and edit them. No more zip files, no more downloads/uploads, and all of those good things. We genuinely appreciate all of the translations to date, and this is our attempt at making it easier for you.

I am looking for some beta testers to this new tool to give it a once-over before I roll it out to everyone. If you have any interest in helping me test it, please respond to this or send me a message and I'll send you the details for how to access the tool. It is something I'd like to roll out pretty quickly. So if you don't have any time in the next few days, just wait for it to get released. But if you do, let me know.

It won't take a lot of time. All I really want you to do is to log into the site, play the role of translator, and give me feedback.

Some notes about how we will be approaching things.

• We will be using an AI model for any initial or missing translation. 
• We don't blindly trust AI translation, so we ask for those to be reviewed and corrected or accepted as is by a person.
• We are working on a system to enable more accurate pluralization when appropriate instead of the assumed one versus not-one that English and some other languages use. This will require a coordinated change inside our applications so may not be ready until the next release cycle.
• We are also bringing in user-facing websites as time permits. The translation site itself will be managed this way.
• You will access this with your Unbroken Account (former Games DB account)

I think that covers it. Let me know if you want to help test!

I have some times to test it after the working hour.
