Editing Proposals (section)

== New Features (in progress) ==
=== Translation ===
# Templates do not handle translation well when transcluding them. See my post on Discord from 01/APRIL/2025 with a screenshot to see what I mean, but the "Other languages" area appears above each instance of the template and it takes up the width of the page each time, essentially having the <nowiki>{{clear}}</nowiki> element attached to it and pushing everything below it. This means that until we can somehow remove that from templates (at least when transcluded), we can't translate templates yet... which is a problem when we always use templates.

# I'm already finding that you cannot edit templates after translating them which is very annoying; the translated version saves as TemplateName/en, and when calling TemplateName, it displays TemplateName/en INSTEAD OF Template name. Unless I'm missing something (which I probably am), we should make sure to finalise templates before translating them; all of the new ones should be fine!

#* I'll update the standard artifact template some time to increase the size of the event text box. [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 16:04, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
# Add official translations where possible. I've got installs of all the languages available on GOG (English, Russian, Polish, French) and the unofficial German translation, but I don't think there's an easy way to add translations other than manually. Not sure what we can add for now that will avoid templates other than campaign texts - any ideas? [[File:Hero Cosmos small.png|link=user:phasma|→ Phasma]] 12:47, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
# Speaking of translations. There's some discrepancies I've noticed in russian. Looking at the TownType.txt file from H3Bitmap.lod from the various versions, I get these town names:
{|
! !! 🇺🇸 !!  🇫🇷 !!  🇵🇱 !! 🇷🇺
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Castle}} || Castle || Château || Zamek || Замок
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Rampart}} || Rampart || Rempart || Bastion || Бастион
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Tower}} || Tower || Tour || Forteca || Башня
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Inferno}} || Inferno || Hadès || Inferno || Инферно
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Necropolis}} || Necropolis || Nécropole || Nekropolis || Некрополь
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Dungeon}} || Dungeon || Donjon || Lochy || Подземелье
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Stronghold}} || Stronghold || Bastion || Twierdza || Цитадель
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Fortress}} || Fortress || Forteresse || Cytadela || Крепость
|-
| {{Town|noname=|Conflux}} || Conflux || Conflux || Wrota żywiołów || Колония
|}
However, the russian-language site heroes3towns.com has Rampart as "Оплот", not "Бастион", Dungeon as "Темница", not "Подземелье", and Conflux as "Сопряжение", not "Колония".
#* Interesting - I wonder if this is a regional difference, a release difference, or some other type of change in localisation? Perhaps stick with the official release info until we know more, though again, this stuff will all be in a template so we have no choice but to wait and resolve that issue first.
