以 Wow 插件抛砖引玉，如何进行简单的游戏翻译工作

前情提要

魔兽世界美服10.1更新在即，刚刚来到美服的朋友需要用到一些插件，很多是没有汉化版本的，我们可以在不侵犯作者权益的前提下，通过编辑插件中的一些信息来进行汉化

WA例子

这里找到了一个WA的例子，是一个追踪每周知识点数获取的WA插件：

下面的内容较多，这里就省略了。

翻译思路

1. 找到需要翻译的关键信息

这里我们找到了需要汉化的信息，往往只有字符串是需要进行汉化的，因为我们只需要针对游戏中显示出来的信息进行翻译，那么就提取出来了上面的内容，先把他们保存下来！

2. 如果需要的话，先机翻减少工作量

这里涉及到语言处理的内容，里面有 name 和 quests 这种人类语言相关的代码，我们使用机翻时很有可能会把他们也翻译掉，就失去了代码的意义，这里有2个解决办法：

• 使用 chatGPT 或 new bing 这类的翻译工具，排查关键字
• 将重复的关键字替换成合适的正则表达式，只翻译正则表达式

3. 人工核对检查和修改

重新核对一些必要的关键信息，请确保你翻译出来的内容拥有一个不错的质量！

    skillID = 164

    quests = {66377, 66378},
    optionKey = "enchanting",
    skillID = 333
}, {
