German translation module for the

[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (dnd5e) system](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/dnd5e)

for [Foundry Virtual Tabletop](https://foundryvtt.com/).



Aims to provide consistent and usable translations in german for all 5E

system content, including compendia via Babele.



If you want to help out, get in touch by creating an issue here or on Discord.

3. Make sure to enable all these installed modules

4. Make sure to set the client language to german in the settings



## Requirements & dependencies



You can see all past releases and compatible versions on the official package listing [here](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/FoundryVTT-dnd5e-DE).\

Old versions may still be available on the [old League repository](https://github.com/League-of-Foundry-Developers/foundryvtt-dnd5e-lang-de/).



Release 1.6.0 is compatible with Foundry versions 0.7.5 to 9.\

Releases 1.7.0+ are only compatible with Foundry 10+.\

Releases 2.0.0+ are only compatible with Foundry 11+.



The module depends on the [german core translation](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/lang-de) for ease of use.\

The module also depends on [Babele](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/babele) for compendium translations.



## Changelog



See the [releases page](https://github.com/mhilbrunner/foundryvtt-dnd5e-lang-de/releases).



## Contributing & adding translations



Contributions are always welcome! Below are some ways to contribute and how to get started.



### Adding new translation strings



To add new translations:



0. Fork this repo and check it out locally

1. Copy the up to date english language file into languages/en.json

(from [here](https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/raw/master/lang/en.json))

2. Run compare.py

3. languages/diff.txt should now contain keys which need to be translated

4. After translating, run merge.py

5. de.json should now contain updated translations

6. Commit, push and submit a Pull Request!



### Adding new compendium translations



This is a bit more involved, as compendia are currently translated using the

awesome [Babele](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/babele) module.

The [Babele repository](https://gitlab.com/riccisi/foundryvtt-babele) has a

brief tutorial.



Compendium translations are located in `compendium/`.



In cases where there is only a small set of values for a field (like *Alignments*),

those are translated using Babele converter functions in `src/`:



Those are also useful for translation values that are used in multiple places,

like *Item Rarities*.

Much love to [Foundry](https://foundryvtt.com/), Atropos & team and the awesome Foundry community,

especially the [League](https://discord.com/invite/2rHs78h),

the official [Discord](https://discord.gg/foundryvtt) and

[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/) and the

[Wiki](https://foundryvtt.wiki/) and [Hub](https://www.foundryvtt-hub.com/).



Thanks to all the module authors and contributors who work tirelessly and

largely for free to make using Foundry such an amazing and fun experience.



Thanks to the other Foundry translations, especially the

[italian](https://gitlab.com/riccisi/foundryvtt-dnd5e-lang-it-it/),

[polish](https://gitlab.com/fvtt-poland/dnd-5e),

[japanese](https://github.com/BrotherSharper/foundryVTTja)

and [brazilian portoguese](https://gitlab.com/fvtt-brasil/dnd5e) ones

for paving the way - we learned a lot from them. :)



Thanks to [Simone Ricciardi (riccisi)](https://gitlab.com/riccisi) for

[Babele](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/babele), without which translating

compendium contents would be hard to impossible. Thanks!



And thanks to [henry4k](https://gitlab.com/henry4k/) who provides the german

core translation, letting us focus on the 5E system translations.



Finally, thanks to WotC for the support and all the wonderful authors - for everything.
