SupertuxKart DVD is out

[lanpower]

Association LanPower is proud to announce you "SupertuxKart Remix 0.9-0.73".
Here is a mix DVD, containing a Windows part and a Live CD of LinuxConsole 2.4
The Windows part contain various Windows versions of SupertuxKart, but also for Mac OSX and Linux. You will also find in the Data directory, videos, wall papers, CD label and DVD box cover. Warning, the Windows version of this game needs Microsoft Visual C++ runtime (which install process is included in most packages).
Remark : the Windows part is also usable under Linux with Wine (warning, it could not work propelly).
This DVD is also including a Live CD or "autonomous CD" of LinuxConsole 2.4 with as well a Linux SupertuxKart game (0.81 version; 0.9 version is available via network download). LinuxConsole is a french Linux distribution. It allows Live CD/DVD/USB use and install on hard disk. With that CD, you can install an play some other games via network.
Translations : The Windows part is translatied in 4 langages (french, english, deutsch, italian) and the Linux part in french, english, deutsch, spanish, chinese, russian, britain,etc...
Of course, you can install all the stuff on an USB stick.

To sum up :
- assess to the Windows multilingual GUI automatically or with "windows.bat"
- or boot on the live DVD/USB to assess to the Linux version of SupertuxKart ("Live CD" or "Live USB" choice).
- under Linux : use the tar.gz SupertuxKart 0.9 binary provided in the "binaries" directory or start the GUI with linux.sh (of course, you don't need that if you have SupertuxKart 0.9 in the repositories, and if you have an internet access).

I'm curious: What was the problem with WIndows concerning adding more languages? Windows has system locales available for a lot more languages, so that shouldn't be the reason.

[lanpower]

It's the texts used in the GUI that needed to be translated

[GunChleoc]

So, you have an extra GUI in addition to the STK GUI that is already translated? If it isn't too big, our translators will surely be willing to add more languages.

Even if you don't have all languages available for some startup stuff, it would still be nice to have all languages available in the game itself.

[lanpower]

Yes, there is an extra GUI : we are not still yet in the game. Yes it would be nice to have more langages, but it is cost expensive, if I don't find a free contributor (I had to pay this time).

[GunChleoc]

STK itself is translated by volunteers - maybe you could put the strings up on Transifex to see if you get contributions.

Where is Transifex ?

Where is Transifex ?

https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/supertuxkart/ is where SuperTuxKart's translations reside

Hi,

if you have a translated windows installer, we would be interested in that, if possible we could bring the translation to transifex (though I have no idea how translating a windows installer actually works ).

Cheers,
Joerg

I use NSIS that is multi langages translated : http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download

I see that they haven't packaged my translation

Their process is a bit chaotic for translators - I will look into providing you with a file for Scottish Gaelic.
