Question
so its the first time i wanted to create a game where you can choose the language. but every video says “use pot/csv file…” i dont want that or to manually do everything. i want something that automatically translates. but the best auto translate is OS.get_locale_language() but i dont want the os language bc prolly someone wants another language.
im sorry theres no workin code :')
That doesn’t exist, how would that work? You need to translate your game contents yourself
but doesent make sense. most engines use the auto traslate. or at least linking a site for auto translating.
What are you talking about? What engines do that? How would it get the translations? What “auto translate”?
so theres not really much but the most “dumb” example is scratch. i know it sounds “its a kids engine” but tho it has most features for just 2d games. what i mean with auto translate is like when you press the “it” button all the contents turn into italian instead of everything that you made in the csv or pot file. idk how scratch does the auto part but i think it just makes it think that the os changed to “it” even tho its still in english(?).
That isn’t in any engine I know of, because it isn’t possible unless you add a whole translation model like Google Translate or something to the engine
So I’m sorry but what you are asking for isn’t in most engines or in Godot and you will have to just write the translations yourself or have others help with them, it’s all in the documentation how to do it
But the feature you are looking for isn’t in the engine, because it’s not (generally) possible
thats what i said with the google translate thing but im not sure on how to implement. i knew godot and most engines dont have that but i thought on something like scratch or google translate but thanks for the help. appreciate that.
I think this is what you’re looking for:
But you just said most engines do have it? And you didn’t say google translate? That’s why I was confused
sorry i didnt said really google translate but i said linking a site bc i tought google translate has bad translating. with engines i worked with were mostly simple so thats why they have those features. ( the engines were scratch (100% sure), julians game creator ( 50%sure) and other mobile / indie engines.)
i cant really explain myself IM REALLY really bad at explaining sorry : (
