-# How to compile lang files (OpenTTD and strgen)
-
-Last updated:    2009-06-30
-
-## strgen usage
-
-This guide is only interesting for people who want to alter something
-themselves without access to [translator.openttd.org](https://translator.openttd.org/).
-
-Please note that your compiled language file will only be compatible with the OpenTTD version
-you have downloaded `english.txt`, the master language file, for. While this is
-not always true, namely when changes in the code have not touched language
-files, your safest bet is to assume this 'limitation'.
-
-As a first step you need to compile strgen. This is as easy as typing
-`'make strgen'`. You can download the precompile strgen from:
-[http://www.openttd.org/download-strgen](http://www.openttd.org/download-strgen)
-
-strgen takes as argument a txt file and translates it to a lng file, allowing
-it to be used inside OpenTTD. strgen needs the master language file
-`english.txt` to work. Below are some examples of strgen usage.
-
-## Examples
-
-### Example 1
-
-If you are in the root of your working copy (git repository), you should type
-`./strgen/strgen -s lang lang/english.txt`
-to compile `english.txt` into `english.lng`. It will be placed in the lang dir.
-
-### Example 2
-
-You only have the strgen executable (no working copy) and you want to compile
-a txt file in the same directory. You should type
-`./strgen english.txt`
-and you will get and `english.lng` in the same dir.
-
-### Example 3
-
-You have strgen somewhere, `english.txt` in `/usr/openttd/lang` and you want the
-resulting language file to go to /tmp. Use
-`./strgen -s /usr/openttd/lang -d /tmp english.txt`
-
-You can interchange `english.txt` to whichever language you want to generate a
-.lng file for.
-
-## strgen command switches
-
-`-v | --version`
-strgen will tell what git revision it was last modified
-
-`-t | --todo`
-strgen will add <TODO> to any untranslated/missing strings and use the english
-strings while compiling the language file
-
-`-w | --warning`
-strgen will print any missing strings or wrongly translated (bad format)
-to standard error output(stderr)
-
-`-h | --help | -?`
-Print out a summarized help message explaining these switches
-
-`-s | --source_dir`
-strgen will search for the master file english.txt in the directory specified
-by this switch instead of the current directory
-
-`-d | --dest_dir`
-strgen will put <language>.lng in the directory specified by this switch; if
-no dest_dir is given, output is the same as source_dir
