build (optional) translations with visual studio

[JohnnyR8]

when building with Visual studio i only get the english translation.

optional building devilutionX.mpq File is possible, by installing smpq and adding it's path to system's PATH environment variable.

but i found no option for translations... how is this done?

when building with ubuntu there is this (optional) possibility:

build the translations:
sudo apt-get install gettext poedit

[AJenbo]

use vcpkg (package manager ud with Visual Studio) to install gettext

To be more specific:

1. Install vcpkg: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/get_started/get-started-vs?pivots=shell-powershell
2. Install gettext with binaries: vcpkg install gettext[tools]:x64-windows
3. Add {vcpkg root}\installed\x64-windows\tools\gettext\bin to PATH: https://www.eukhost.com/kb/how-to-add-to-the-path-on-windows-10-and-windows-11/
