Error Codes

Translated JSON files for known error codes used by the Wii U and 3DS.

Formatting

We have a script called format-translation-files.mjs which will:

• Ensure all translation strings end with a period
• If only one of "long_x" or "short_x" is present, the other will be set to the same value so they're equal at least (ideally, long_x should be a more detailed version of short_x)

You can run it on the directory containing the translation files you want to format. Example usage:

$ node format-translation-files.mjs .\data\022

Path Structure

There are paths: modules and codes. The data folder contains the error code data. The root of the data folder contains the modules. Inside each module folder are the translation files for the module and folders for each of the module's error codes. Inside each module error code folder are the translation files for the error. Example path structure:

data

│ ├── en_US.json
│ ├── 2482
│ │ └── en_US.json
│ ├── 2483
│ │ └── en_US.json

└── 103

├── 0504

Utility functions

The main purpose of this repository is to maintain the JSON translation files. However 2 utility functions are also included for JavaScript/TypeScript projects.

• getModuleInfo(sysmodule, locale) - Returns the module information for the locale, or null if not found
• getErrorInfo(sysmodule, code, locale) - Returns the error information (including the module information) for the locale. Returns null if either the module or error code is not found
• getAllErrors() - Returns an array of all error codes for all modules in the form MODULE-CODE
