Yes, I saw it, and its too strange - many poeple translate game into russian, but translation into ukrainian...
It is written here that ukrainian translation maintainer is Sergiy Tkach (Apromix), but i have no idea how contact to him...

that's probably because most ukrainians speak russian fluently. and i guess even those that don't wouldn't have much problems playing the game in russian. but hey - you could make a difference^^

yes, i know that most ukrainians understand russian, but why no one translate game into ukrainian? many open source programs is translated, but not this one.
So, i start to translate it, but work alone it will be difficult...

Personally I was not aware that there is an Ukrainian translation and because of this there are no po files created for this language. If you want to start such a translation, please have a look at this wiki page to get an idea what your task as maintainer would be (since I know of nobody else you as "starter" of the translation would become the maintainer). Then I need to know stuff like the langcode used for the Ukrainian translation. Basically I'd prefer to get an Ukrainian version of this file: ru_RU.cfg. Once I got this I can create the translation files for you and you can (shortly afterwards) download the po files and get started with the translation.

Regarding the (old) wikipages you found: There is a forum user with the nickname "Apromix" though his last login was in 2009 which is basically the last edit date from the wiki page, so assume this translation is rather dead at the moment. What I'd recommend is, to get a fast start if you want to work on this translation, to take the wiki pages and the existing translations on the linked pages and enter them in the po files once they are created.

Feel free to ask me any questions you got. It might be easiest to ask some of the questions using IRC. I tend to be around in the channel #wesnoth-dev on irc.freenode.net regularly and there are several other people in there who can help with translation questions, too. Which is no surprise since many of our devs are non native English speakers and have lend a helping hand to their mother tongues translation every now and then.

Since I care, I decided to whip up data for a uk_UA.cfg:

Code: Select all

[locale]
    name="Українська (Ukrayins’ka)"
    sort_name="Ukrayins'ka"
    locale=uk_UA
[/locale]
Hopefully, I got everything right.

I'm going to make some updates to the translation, including some questionable ones.
If anyone is willing to discuss it, please join!

Чудову фічу побачив: можна налаштувати генератор випадкових назв на свою мову.
https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob ... nglish.cfg
Ось так можна налаштувати локалізацію, щоб вона генерила "Великі бочаги", "П’ятихвістки" і "Сухий гай".
