• SCS Software - For making Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.
• TruckLib - For being the project we use to extract game files. This version of ETS2LA is fundamentally linked to TruckLib.
• ts-map and maps - For their help and examples in parsing SCS map files and rendering a usable map.

Download .NET 10 from Microsoft. You can find that here. You'll also have to install Bun.

Now clone the repository and open the solution file in your preferred IDE. We recommend VSCode. Any code editor should work, but the project comes prepackaged with VSCode tasks for Windows and Linux. You should also download the C# Dev Kit extension, other IDEs should have their own equivalent extensions.

Before you can run ETS2LA, you'll need to make sure you have all the required dotnet tools installed. To install them, just run dotnet restore and dotnet tool restore in the root of the repository.

Building (and running) depends on your IDE. If you're using VSCode, you just press F5.

Weblate will commit translations every so often, usually within a few hours. However if you want to test your translations immediately, you can:

1. Click your language
2. At the top, click Files, then Download original translation files as ZIP file
3. Copy ets2la/ets2la/ETS2LA.Translations/Localization/lang_code.po into your local ETS2LA.Translations/Localization/lang_code.po folder.
4. Build ETS2LA, your new translations will be included.

You can also directly edit the translations files in ETS2LA.Translations/Localization/. However, do not upload those back to weblate. You can edit the files, and then in weblate edit the text manually. Uploading translation files can (and will) break credits as well as cause the loss of some translations.

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines. We welcome all contributions, but please make sure to follow our guidelines to ensure a smooth review process. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in our Discord server. (https://ets2la.com/discord)
