There are no translated compendium after activating the module

[LEronsn]

I installed the module as described, also activated babele and german core. Set the language to german, but when I looked in the compendium folder, all I found were the original english compendium. Do I need to do something more?

All is up to date, the dnd system and the modules.

Thanks in advance.

Hello there! Have you checked the setting of the modules?
There is a setting for the translation of the compendium.

Hi! Jep, done this, but still no translation 😕

That's weird! I just tried a clean installation and everything worked out.
Are there any critical errors in the console when you load the game world in? You open it with F12 in the client - may be different for some browsers.

Same issue here. I think I have installed it all correctly.

My settings:

I can't reconstruct the problem on my system (I may not even be of big help anyways).
Same as mentioned above, are there any errors loading into the world?
Does it load in properly

I found some errors in the console:

Also:

Babele: Error: Directory modules/FoundryVTT-dnd5e-DE/compendium/de does not exist or is not accessible in this storage location

I guess it looks for a dir named de in the compendium folder.

The first one is fine, that's just a "warning", but it does not affect the process. (Yellow is fine)

The second one, that might be the problem! Probably a red error msg(?)

Babele: Error: Directory modules/FoundryVTT-dnd5e-DE/compendium/de does not exist or is not accessible in this storage location

Just don't understand why it does behave like that, I will ask around!

Moving all the .json files in the compendium folder into a subfolder named de makes it work.

Oh, maybe it is related to this: https://gitlab.com/riccisi/foundryvtt-babele/-/tree/master?ref_type=heads#translations-files-loading

I installed this before installing babele, so maybe it didn't auto-register the folder correctly. Then, when selecting the folder manually, it expects the files in a subdirctory of the selected folder, with no way for me to configure that in the UI.

Yep. That helped. Thanks for the advice

In line 93 in "dnd5e-de.js" you compare the game the module's language to "game.i18n.lang" which is "en" for me. My language in the menu was set to german though. That line is in my opinion completely not required and messes things up when the game is in english but clients choose german in their settings. Maybe just remove it.

This comparison is not required and causes issues when the game is not in german the the user's settings are german
game.i18n.lang === module_lang
