Name of 'hfoo' in all languages ?

How many installation language we get for warcraft 3 ?
And how do you say "Footman" in these languages ?

GetObjectName('hfoo') == ?

Chinese -> "步兵"
Czech -> "Pěšák"
English -> "Footman"
French -> "Fantassin"
German -> "Soldat"
Italian -> "Fante"
Japanese -> ?
Korean -> ?
Polish -> "Piechur"
Russian -> "Пехотинец"
Spanish -> "Soldado raso"

Ofc if you don't change the unit name ('hfoo') ...

Sorry if i forgot some countries, they are just not written on the official blizzard website for the patches.

I want to know this, for make a function which can get the language of warcraft installed.

Edit : Because i can't use in the editor the Russian and Chinese letters, i must play with localized strings length.

Here is a testmap.
Could you test it and takes screenshots of the box messages ?
Since there are 24 localized strings, 2 screenshots should be enough.

If i get screenshots of all warcraft3 languages, i will no need anymore the requirement of a footman unit with the default name.

Thx in advance.

czech is that Pěšák = Pesak

Good point, if you try this :

call BJDebugMsg(GetObjectName('hfoo'))

What is displayed "Pěšák" or "Pesak" ?

And if you try this :

function test takes nothing returns nothing
   local string s= GetObjectName('hfoo')
   if s== "Pěšák" then
      call BJDebugMsg("special characters")
   endif
   if s== "Pesak" then
      call BJDebugMsg("normal characters")
   endif
endfunction

I know "special" and "normal" are not appropriate, it's just a test anyway.

Polish: Piechur

Thx, Darkhunty can you answer plz ?
If you dunno jass just place the function in the personal code window and use a custom script : call Test().

u asking me what is different in between Pesak and Pěšák ?
it is the same but Pěšák couldn´nt be wrote in english wc3 because it have diacritical marks and wc3 don´t support it .. then all must write into the scripts pesak

Ok,thx.

Russian - "Пехотинец".
By the way, it's good idea to make such func.

I can't write this word in the editor, because of the Cyrillic alphabet, is there an equivalent in the Latin alphabet ?

Unfortunately, no.
As far as I know, Russian symbols have 2 byte length. So the length of "Пехотинец" will be always 18. I doubt that any other language have such long "footman" translated name.

Make some funny foot man frenzy distro or AoS and have that function attached to display the data to your player slot. Host it in places like northerend and kalemdor and loderon to get the rest of the names you are after.

Be warned that you will have to use syncronization natives as the string returned is almost garenteed to not be syncronized with everyone so might cause an OOS if used improperly.

Yeah but it's the ultimate solution :p
Don't worry about synch i've already an idea which work with selecting unit.
Actually the problem is to know all the languages.

Soldat is on Italian !

Sure, in an other world ...

I tested myself all the european languages on battle.net.
I don't have the asian languages, i tried to host games with no sucess, so i guess i should ask players on asian forums, or maybe battle.net.

Thx to all.

There is the code :

    public constant integer UNIT_ID_FOOTMAN = 'hfoo' // you need a footman rawcode, with the default name, you can use a custom rawcode of course

PS : For some reasons with TESH enabled an "ě" is converted in a "e", that's why i use the SubString function, and with TESH enabled it convert it in two characters, it's enough anyway.
And i can't write the cyrilic letters in the editor (Russian), so i use the length of the string instead.

Are you asking for translations of "footman" in different languages?
I know, 士兵 (pinyin, "Shi bing"), is Chinese for soldier.
Close enough?
