Hey there.
Like promised I created a German Translation of the game.

Since I really was disappointed with the Official German translation of the Spelunky Remake project, I created something faithful, but also enhanced and funny. Right now, I am in the beta test and probably need some arrangements before I'll release it.

But there are still some questions:
- since we do have the images folder and can replace textures in game, is it possible to replace the $ HUD component and the "HELP" of the maid/spelunker?
- Why do we have sometimes multiple instances of the same translation, like the money/kills etc., wouldn't it be easier, if one instance is enough?
- Shall I create a pull request for the translation or upload all corresponding files here?
- the python script only created the charset.png, not the charset_small.png, is it needed, shall I created it with gimp instead?
- why do we have a second language selection in the main menu?
- some of the script seems to be from the editor, which is not available in this version (afaik), so it could probably also be removed or do you plan on readd the editor in the future?

Probably some more stuff/questions will arise until release, I will ask them here, if that's okay.

Okay, thanks for all the answers.
I've edited the HELP and DOLLAR SIGN, and put them into the images folder, would love them to be loaded aswell (I'm not a big pixel artist, but they look fine so far).

I translated every line (also the editor ones) and made multiple adjustments (like the aligments you just told me about, hope they are all fine now) and finished the game once (with cheats) on Windows, everything looks fine so far.
I could do some more adjustments, when I could beta test on my retroid, so I would love to see a fix2 with the adjustments and my translation.

I also included an updated locales_tr.json and locales.json. I have not done a pull request yet, since this is more a beta test of some kind. ;)
It seems, I can't add a file to this post, so I'll just upload it to my hidrive instead, here you can download it.

Btw: you should be in the credits (HD port by) and probably the translators with contact informations (if wanted) aswell.
If you need some input, tests or help, just tell me.

Yesterday, while playing it on my retroid, I found another thing, that you could probably file unter improvement (dunno, whether this is the best place to report, but since we're here already, I use the chance, you can probably just rename the topic later to German translation + suggestions and create a new Howto thread ;))
- when you enter the controller configuration with the action key, it takes the input 9 out of 10 times for the first button press for jumping. And if you didn't know that and set the action button on the same button as jumping, you can never enter the button configuration again (thats what happened for me, had to completely erase the data of the game), so probably a little time, until the first input is registered and also let me enter the main menu with my touchscreen aswell (since I also couldn't use the touch screen settings, because it was deactivated and I had to use the action button to reactivate, the best fix would be to just press right or left, to enable/disable the overlay).
Or scratch that, wouldn't it be easier, if we just need to press right to enter/change any of these menu items? You could always change everything without the action button and if you enter the controller button settings, it waits until you press the Start button, to set the buttons? Btw: what about the ESC button on a controller? Since I can't set it to the controller, I also can't skip the button presses.

I also found another sprite, that would be great to be translatable: the sNew.png, sNewButton.png and sNewButtonPressed.png. But with the latter 2 I don't know, where they are used. If they are for the editor, they should probably just getting axed, like the editor strings.

Regarding the contributor list: only (nick)name and mail, that's enough I guess.
I would also suggest, to add your name, not just to the end credits, but also the intro room at the bottom. I would also love to see a SpelunkyClassicHD Logo, since it would show everyone that this is an enhanced port (and all the sites, stealing your html5 version and hosting it with ads, would make a little ad for this version then aswell)

Take your time, nothing important needs to be fixed, I can use the fix2 for a long time!

Edit: Added the sNew.png translated to the post
