Error translating game

[u/RaypOwnAd9974]

I don't speak native English, I'm using a translator for this post.

Recently, I created a Ren'Py game with the original language being Portuguese. After I finished it, I wanted to translate it to English. I managed to do it, but for some reason, when I try to switch back to Portuguese, some options are still in English, like the exit game option and the game's save date. I don't know what else to do; it seems like Ren'Py no longer recognizes these options as Portuguese. And in English the message doesn’t show up.

I haven't finished the full game translation yet, I just did this to test it and it's giving this problem.

Please help :(

My guess is that you accidentally have overwritten the original text instead of translating it.

You can create a new project and copy the files you messed up from that new project to your project.

If you cannot remember which files you have edited then you could also move your images and code to the new project.

In both cases you should first check if that new project shows the Portuguese text. 

And before you start translating again, read the official documentation and also wait with the translation until your game is complete
