00:03 SoylentCow GreenXenith we are gonna have celeron shout at us again, but for what it's worth, minetest-the-engine does not have any "gameplay" at all, and is not really a video-game, so some semantic compromises were made
00:03 SoylentCow for sam's sake, 9let's discuss this article somewhere else
00:07 Pie-jacker875 joined #minetest
00:09 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> What, did he yell at someone before? x)
00:09 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> That is fair though

00:53 MTDiscord <Ronoaldo> Well, never knew about the origin of Sam name.
00:55 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> Ah, that's where its from. Unfortunately 1st party :p
00:56 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> thats where it could be cited*

00:59 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> oh wait it is technically not first party
00:59 MTDiscord <GreenXenith> since minetest.com isnt owned by c55 at the moment

11:38 adfeno sfan5, rubenwardy: Re: translation: found the issue, indeed it was my setup. I forgot to include some paths containing locale definitions to LOCPATH.
11:38 Conradish006 joined #minetest
11:41 adfeno Sorry, not locale definitions, but locale memory objects (.MO) files, for which one had Minetest's.
11:42 adfeno I wish Minetest used gettext format for mod localization, this would allow merging intllib into the code base. Although I don't know if it would be doable, so this is just a random thought.
11:43 rubenwardy there's a PR for that
11:44 rubenwardy https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/10451
11:44 sfan5 not sure what that has to do with intltlib though
11:44 rubenwardy just needs testing
11:44 sfan5 intllib*
11:44 adfeno Besides, Gettext has support for fuzzy marks, compendia (automated translation of messages based on a common .PO file with all possible terms).
11:44 rubenwardy intllib used the gettext format, meaning you can copy from one to another
11:44 adfeno and Gettext also has numerous graphical user interface editors for the .po files.
11:44 rubenwardy like weblate
11:46 adfeno sfan5: ^ see rubenwardy's message
11:47 sfan5 ah I see
11:51 adfeno Re: compendia/compendium: for example, GNU Union (the software behind the translation mechanism of GNU.org) supports that file, when a new page in an original language gets created or updated, the compendia/compendium can be used to make a .PO file out of the original. Such .PO can be tested further as usual.

11:56 calcul0n__ joined #minetest
11:58 adfeno Also, it would contribute to solve part of https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6503
12:00 sfan5 I don't think so, the PR doesn't replace the translation system with gettext it only adds parsing for .po files
12:01 adfeno (in regards to the possiblity that the mod maintainers could, say, especify pt_BR.UTF-8 as a symbolic link (or any similar link) to C.UTF-8 or vice-versa.
12:04 adfeno If I'm not mistaken, C.UTF-8 (or just C) is used is used if no translated string is found for a given original string, for each language the client/user prefers/expressed in $LANGUAGE (colon-separated list of languages understood, without character set).
12:07 sfan5 gettext might do that but it's not what the PR adds
12:38 MinetestBot [git] srifqi -> minetest/minetest: Use vec4 for varTexCoord in interlaced shader (#11004) 1abb83b https://git.io/Jtp8N (2021-03-01T12:37:32Z)
12:40 adfeno joined #minetest
12:44 alex-resist joined #minetest
12:44 adfeno All in all, for my locale issue, I forgot that all Guix-installed packages use GUIX_LOCPATH instead of LOCPATH, and while I did follow the advice from Guix's info document telling us to do `export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale`, the package I was testing (Minetest) stored locales uder …/share/locale.
12:54 adfeno Guix-installed packages use GUIX_LOCPATH because it is through this variable that Guix knows that it must sufix each with corresponding glibc-locales version that given package depends on, only then the path is passed to the program. This is done to avoid errors if given package isn't compatible with some version of glibc-locales.

13:18 haska joined #minetest
13:19 haska Players, what do you think about built-in password&nickname manager for servers?
13:23 adfeno Actually, rephrasing my last message: that version sufix only applies to libc itself, it doesn't seem to apply to individual packages.
13:24 adfeno But GUIX_LOCPATH is equally important to be set to point to locales of such packages anyways.
13:24 adfeno So the issue was indeed lack of information (not from Minetest).
