DefGlot

A localization module for Defold

Easily support multiple translations of your game.

Installation

You can use DefGlot in your own project by adding this project as a Defold library dependency. Open your game.project file and in the dependencies field under project add:

https://github.com/subsoap/defglot/archive/master.zip

Once added, you must require the main Lua module in your scripts via

local defglot = require("defglot.defglot")

Then add your list of languages, language data, init, and set GUI text based on current language.

function init(self)
	defglot.language = "ru" -- if you do not define the language DefGlot will attempt to use OS lang
	defglot.language_list.ru = "ru" -- add one or more langauges to in use language list
	defglot.locale_data = require("example.main_locale") -- this is the locale data
	defglot.init() -- you must init DefGlot so that it can ensure proper setup
	
	defglot.set_text(gui.get_node("btn_start/label"))
	defglot.set_text(gui.get_node("btn_about/label"))
	defglot.set_text(gui.get_node("btn_exit/label"))
	defglot.set_text(gui.get_node("btn_toggle_profiler/label")) 
	-- the toggle profiler text is missing so it will load missing string text in English
end

DefGlot also works with GO labels but if you use it with labels you must always set a key as currently there is no label.get_text.

	defglot.set_text("#label", "MY_KEY")
