Translations

Locales live under:

lua/mediaplayer/i18n/
  sh_i18n.lua
  lang/
    en.lua
    de.lua
    …

Missing keys fall back toward English.

Adding a language

1. Copy lang/en.lua to e.g. lang/pt-br.lua (follow existing naming).
2. Translate string values; keep keys identical.
3. Ensure the loader in sh_i18n.lua picks up the file (follow the same pattern as other languages).
4. Restart the client and select the language if a UI selector is present.

Tool strings for the spatial stool are bridged into GMod’s language.Add system from i18n keys (mp.tool.spatial.*).

Usage in code

MediaPlayer.L("some.key")
MediaPlayer.L("some.key", formatArg)

Prefer translation keys for any new player-facing text (errors, tooltips, tool help).
