Hi,

The Horizon series is also one of the best I’ve ever had the chance to experience, and I’ve experienced quite a lot. This site strikes me as a so-called “Passion Project,” I like it very much. The fact that it’s rarely visited doesn’t matter – it’s a gem, one of a kind. :)

Back to the updates... I started painstakingly translating the files but realized it was pointless. Since translating the site into any language requires a lot of work anyway, a much better solution would be to add multilingual support to the site and minimize the effort needed to create additional translations.

So, I did what I thought was right:

  • The source texts have been completely replaced with data extracted directly from the game
  • As a result, the base text now includes stylistic corrections and fixes such as wrongly assigned titles, incorrect descriptions, content containing HTML code, missing Unicode characters, etc.
  • A side effect is that some lines contain additional white spaces, but this doesn’t affect the visual presentation – they are necessary for automated translation.
  • The target texts for the Polish language were mapped using their English counterparts, ensuring 100% consistency ;)
  • Adding other languages has now become super simple, at least when it comes to the texts
  • The only problematic Datapoint is “Gaia Log: 3 Feb 2065 R” – it needs to be manually assembled from several individual sentences. I might create a separate file for it later

Additionally:

  • I simplified the folder structure, unified file names, IDs, etc.
  • I added basic configuration for VSCode Live Server Preview.
  • I introduced basic editorconfig rules, trying to maintain the existing formatting.
  • I changed the "Caps Lock" > "Alt" for view change because using the former alters the current local setup
  • Last but not least – "The Social Network" ;)

Lastly, the Audio part will come later, I just didn't want to postpone the current changes.

Let me know what you think.

@aryanpingle Hey man, it's been over three months. I know you’re probably busy, but if that’s the case, could you nominate someone you trust to review the PR or just go with the "Fire & Forget" approach?

Let me know if you want it tweaked further! 😊
