Modules/localize
From MSX Game Library
< Modules
The localize module handle translation in several langage of your application. This module is very small in size and very efficient.
Usage
The translation process consists of 3 elements:
- A file (or several) in which the user places his translations for each supported language in the form: key = "text".
- A project configuration (See bellow) to inform the Build tool of the translation files to be processed.
- A module to be initialized in the code, then functions to be used to retrieve a given text in the selected language.
Dependencies
Dependency on other modules: None.
Settings
The localization process can be customized in your Build tool configuration file, project_config.js:
//-- List files to be localized (array) LocFiles = [ "file1.ini", "file2.ini" ]; //-- Localization output filename (string) LocOutput = "localization.h"; //-- Localization structure name (string) LocStruct = "g_LocData";
Note: If LocFiles is empty (default value), the localization process is disabled.
