We originally used `pt_PT` (i.e. Portuguese (Portugal)) to distinguish with
the Brazilian Portuguese variant `pt_BR`, as both are significantly different
and need separate translation files.
But Portugal's Portuguese (or "European Portuguese") is close to the variant
spoken and written in other Portuguese-speaking countries such as Angola and
Mozambique, so it makes sense for users of these countries to also have access
to the European Portuguese translation (at least until translators decide that
adding e.g. `pt_AO` and `pt_MZ` variants would make sense, taking into account
the translation effort that this duplication implies).
Godot's locale matching checks first for the full locale (e.g. `pt_AO`), and
if no translation is found, it checks for the non-regional language code
(`pt`), so this change enables translations for Portuguese speakers outside
Portugal and Brazil.
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.
psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:
- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
the same line and should be manually merged again.
- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).
- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
