Type Alias: GameLocale

GameLocale = "en" | "de" | "es" | "fr" | "ru"

Defined in: src/i18n/locale.ts:28

A locale tag accepted by at least one localized game-name lookup.

Remarks

English (en) is complete because it is the canonical name already published by the Almanac. Every other locale is sparse and source-dependent. A lookup accepts any string rather than only this union so callers can pass their application locale directly: a regional tag such as de-DE falls back to de, while an unsupported tag or a missing translation returns null. A source may explicitly publish a localized value whose spelling equals the canonical English name. Lookups return that source value verbatim; they never generate an English fallback for a missing locale.

The catalogues carry English, French, German, Russian and Spanish and no other language. Several accepted sources publish more — Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Hungarian, Georgian and Simplified Chinese among them — and those values are deliberately not stored, so every one of those tags is an unsupported locale that returns null.

Example

import type { GameLocale } from '@elite-dangerous-almanac/core/i18n';

const locale: GameLocale = 'de';
locale; // -> 'de'
