Multi Language Support

Multi Language

tinkergame Multi-Language Support (currently supporting these languages).

At least the default language file (English) needs to be found, otherwise tinkergame will exit with an error. tinkergame searches both the Systemwide Configuration and the User Configuration for language files, where those in the latter have a higher priority (so copying a system-wide file to improve it is possible)

Every language found can be selected from the Language dropdown menu in the GUI Options Menu. (A change requires a restart to take effect.)

To also give the option of a translated description in freshly created tinkergame config files, it is possible to define an available language or an absolute path to a valid language file with the lang= Command Line option.

As a last resort, when no language file is found, tinkergame will download its own project page and use the language file from there.

(Every language file simply consists of multiple variables defining a text, so to contribute a translation, simply duplicate one of the existing ones and translate all variables inside.)
