In 2020, a group of friends and I started a Luanti minigames server called "A.E.S.". One of the aspects that fascinated us about Luanti was being able to provide translated content according to the language set on the client - even for online servers. What we didn't know was that, we can't really ask translators to learn git if they want to contribute. Having a tailor-made translation format didn't help either. Fast forward of a few years and, thanks to Codeberg staff, we migrate to Weblate; which is when the boom of translations happened. A.E.S. now features 14 languages and, with Luanti switching to an industry standard (.pot/.po files), life becomes even easier. People can now play their favourite games without having to struggle with a language they might not know -so as to focus on the game itself.
