I created a function to check if a translation exists

Old Code

The function checks if the folder exists, if the file exists and if the phrase contains the needed format indexes.

PHP Code:


			
stock bool TranslationExists(char[] phrase, char[] file)
{
    char cfgFile[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    char dirName[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
    
    BuildPath(Path_SM, dirName, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "translations");
    BuildPath(Path_SM, cfgFile, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "translations/%s.txt", file);
    
    if (!DirExists(dirName) || !FileExists(cfgFile))
    {
        return false;
    }
    
    Handle kv = CreateKeyValues("Phrases");
    FileToKeyValues(kv, cfgFile);
    
    if (KvJumpToKey(kv, phrase))
    {
        char bufferformat[255];
        KvGetString(kv, "#format", bufferformat, sizeof(bufferformat), "");
        
        bool contains[16];
        bool passed = false;
        if (!StrEqual(bufferformat, ""))
        {
            for (int i = 1; i < sizeof(contains); i++)
            {
                char buffer[4];
                Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "{%d:", i);
                if (StrContains(bufferformat, buffer) != -1)
                {
                    passed = true;
                    contains[i] = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    contains[i] = false;
                }
            }
        }
        
        char bufferphrase[255];
        KvGetString(kv, langname, bufferphrase, sizeof(bufferphrase), "");
        
        if (StrEqual(bufferphrase, ""))
        {
            return false;
        }
        
        if (passed)
        {
            for (int i = 1; i < sizeof(contains); i++)
            {
                if (contains[i])
                {
                    char buffer[4];
                    Format(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "{%d}", i);
                    if (StrContains(bufferphrase, buffer) == -1)
                    {
                        return false;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
    CloseHandle(kv);
    
    return true;
}

Call it like this:

PHP Code:


			
if (TranslationExists("Changing map", "common.phrases"))
{
    PrintToChat(client, "%t", "Changing map", map)
}
else
{
    PrintToChat(client, "Changing map to %s...", map)
}

Wrong section buddy, you have to post it there:

Be aware that translation files are SMC format, not KeyValues. There are subtle differences and can exist valid translation files that will fail with FileToKeyValues.

If you want a more robust solution, use the SMC parser.

Can someone move or delete this?

Ok, didn't know about it, can you give an example about a valid translation that won't work with KeyValues? I will give a try to SMC Parser and update the code.

Code:

/*
 * This is my translation file for Plugin X
 */
"Phrases"
{
	"My phrase"
	{
		"en"			"Hi"
	}
}

Oh, ok, KeyValues doesn't support comments. Thank you. I will update the code soon.

It supports single line comments, not multi-line.
