Kantai Collection Vita Translation

This is a work in progress project to produce a Kantai Collection Vita multilingual translation.

See the wiki for more information: https://github.com/BASLQC/kc-vita-translation/wiki

Some items, by necessity of having an English variable name, are already in english. Other items are just pure data.

Processing

Python with xmltodict will be used to parste and unparse the XML data. It requires no XML schemas, and turns it straight into a Python Dict as if it was a JSON file: and back. Which helps because the KC3 translations are also in JSON.

Installation:

sudo pip3 install xmltodict

import json
import xmltodict

# open file: maybe do with open
maparea = open("mst_maparea.xml", 'rb')
# get dict
mapdict = xmltodict.parse(maparea)
print(mapdict['mst_maparea_data']['mst_maparea'][0]) # display first item
# save changes to file: with open?
xmltodict.unparse(mapdict)

Restore closing brackets: KC3 breaks with the normal XML schema and uses <Tag /> in place of <Tag></Tag>. We need to make sure to propogate this everywhere.

The first way is to simply find the exact tag to replace. Another, better way is to create a regex that will do this.

m = re.search(r'^\s*\<(\w+)\>\</(\w+)\>', "    <Tag></Tag>") # only finds ^\t<Tag></Tag>$
substitution = re.sub(r'\<(\w+)\>\</(\w+)\>', r'<\1 />', "    <Tag></Tag>")

Match manually linked Quests

# iterate through xml to obtain vita matched translations
for item in xml['mst_quest_data']['mst_quest']:
	# take kanji name (without trailing words) and match to translation
	datalist['Id']
	item['Name'] = datalist[item['Id']]['Name']
	item['Details'] = datalist[item['Id']]['Name']
	print(item['Id'], item['Name'], item['Details'])

# iterate through xml and compare quest Ids
# if matched compare titles
# if titles match, is translation
