transplate.lua - Languages support [1.1]

[KateBulka]

transplate.lua

So... This is a library you can use to translate strings! Sounds fun, right? Well, it's mostly a library that you should know how to use, but there is plans to integrate library with other libraries. For now transplate.lua works with littleDialogue by MrDoubleA, you can even change fonts for specific/all style(s)!

Library:
1.1 (Current) - https://pastebin.com/upbGbX5H
1.0 - https://pastebin.com/5xJVabUN
P.S: I recommend naming file transplate.lua

How to use?:

Spoiler: show

To switch language you can do this in luna.lua file:

Code: Select all

local transplate = require("transplate")
transplate.setLanguage("Example") -- a language folder should exist with that name!!

You can also switch various settings on the top of library:

For move advanced users: You can get translation of string:

Code: Select all

-- worth mentioning that it returns original text if there is no translation
local translated = transplate.getTranslation(text, lang (by default it's current language))

---

Bug reports, recommendations and etc are welcome! This library was a bit rushed honestly :)

Out of curiosity, how many languages does this currently support? (Like, if I wanted Japanese, English, and Spanish; would I be able to use this to implement that, or just English and a default specific other language?)

You have to write your lang files by yourself.

Should I write global tables to save switched language in luna.lua?
