Italian translation of NNG4

[dalps]

Here's an Italian translation of the game.

It's still somewhat rough, and seeing it in context (as in playing the game in Italian) would really help improve the quality of the translated messages.

Is there a way to see it in action, perhaps deploy the PO file to the development server of the game? I couldn't hack it out so I'd appreciate your help.

I'm afraid I can't help with any of your technical questions, but I would like to say a huge thank-you for doing this translation.

I don't know anything about the server side of things, but when I develop NNG4 I run the game locally. I have lean4game cloned in the same directory as NNG4 and I follow the running locally instructions -- I just type npm start in the lean4game repo and then point my browser at http://localhost:3000/#/g/local/NNG4. If I do this on your branch and go to Preferences in the burger menu in the top right I don't get an Italian option though :-(

Alright I got it to work! As usual, I skipped some of the instructions 🙃

What's missing is the Game.json file generated by lake exe i18n --export-json and the localization files in lean4game. I have pushed both. So now, if you clone my fork of lean4game, which is configured for Italian, alongside my fork of NNG4 and run the game server, hopefully you should be seeing the Italian option under Preferences!

@dalps I'm happy to merge this when you tell me it's ready. Thanks a lot to Riccardo for looking over it.

@kbuzzard It still needs some work, mostly having to do with sentence flow and grammar. I'll be looking at it over the next week-ish and I will ping you when it's ready. Don't forget to squash when merging so my messy commits don't fill up the repo's history!

[dalps]

Hey @kbuzzard I believe it's ready! You can go ahead and merge.

Btw, I've noticed in several points of the game that the translated messages aren't showing up, instead the original English message appears, which disrupts the translation. This happens with the Chinese translation as well (example below).

Maybe .i18n/en/Game.pot is not synced with the Lean files and needs to be regenerated?
