Kaki, thank you very much! I hope we will be able to make translation to Chinese at some point in the future. Of course it includes not only renderer interface translation, but also a future documentation. Also here on this forum it's better to use English language (even translated by computer) to better search the information.
多谢

The independently modified language files can be released, and interest lovers will actively translate them into their own language. Most simplified Chinese software is independently sinicized by interest lovers, and developers can also reduce the translation cost

Sure I will do this, there are Chinese files actually. Btw, it's possible to do even now for any use. He can just explore the res directory inside CentiLeo plugin, find *.str files - they describe all GUI words that we use for this or that module.
Also it's possible to translate Cinema/CentiLeo node space GUI for node materials/shaders. To do this one may open Resource Editor (type this in search string in top right corner of Cinema GUI). In this resource editor a user may find the CentiLeo nodespace database and go through all the materials and shaders to translate what is "Bitmap", what is "Ramp" and etc. There are not many, and things are quite easy.

Is the current version a test version? Or when can we release the official version? I am looking forward@ Kirgman

I have translated most of the texts into simplified Chinese. I will release a Chinese version on Bilibili these days

Hi Peirato! Welcome to CentiLeo Thank you very much for your initiative! You are absolutelly great! Did you replaced English texts or added Chinese as an extra language version? Have you seen the node-based material settings text labels? Feel free to get my support with translation!

To edit the node materials there are few steps:

1. Open Cinema 4D in developer mode with Administrator rights. There are 2 options to do this:

1.1) Edit the properties of Cinema.exe shortcut. This shortcut of exe file can be found in windows task panel. In the properties of shortcut edit the launching object to this string:

Code
"C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R21\Cinema 4D.exe" g_applicationRepositoryWritable=true g_developerNodeEditorFunctions=true g_descriptionEditorDeveloperMode=true

It just changes the command line params to developer mode when you launch Cinema using the shortcut.

1.2) Alternatively, open CMD.EXE with Administrator rights and type the same string to CMD and press Enter keyboard button

Code
"C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R21\Cinema 4D.exe" g_applicationRepositoryWritable=true g_developerNodeEditorFunctions=true g_descriptionEditorDeveloperMode=true

2. Since you launch Cinema in developer mode create CentiLeo node material, right-click mouse on material node and click "Edit Resource".
In the opened window you will see the interface of this particular node.

3. Change the language interface to Chinese in the node editor development (zh-CN) in the top left corner.

4. See the orange highlighted strings as on the image below to get the idea how to modify the strings that are used as translation.



5. The other CentiLeo nodes can be selected for editing in the top left corner in "Id" line (2 rows to the down from Language).

6. After you have finished your editing you should click to the top menu item Database and select "Save all Databases".

7. Your changes will be saved in the files in this folder (this is the CentiLeo plugin folder and it's internal "res\nodes\" subfolder)

Code
C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R21\plugins\CentiLeoR21\res\nodes

As you can see currently this folder contains 2 .json files. They contain a structure and a language file of the interface. We are interested in the zh-CN language file only, don't pay attention to the others.
8. The resulting .json files for R21 in our example after you have saved the Databases can be copied to the other plugin versions for R22-R26 or 2023. All .json files are the same for all Cinema versions for CentiLeo.

9. The other optional way to open Resource Editor is to click the "Search" icon in the very top right corner (under the close X button), and type "Resource Editor" there. In the opened window of resource editor select the language and the database "com.centileo.nodes.module"

10. The other language strings are stored in the folder:

Code
C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R21\plugins\CentiLeoR21\res\strings_zh-CN

In reality this is not complex. But the message looks large
Maxon describes the launching of Resource editor with their documentation for programmers where you can see similar screenshots https://developers.maxon.net/docs/Cinema4DCPPSDK/html/page_handbook_node_implementati­on_nodespace.ht...
