Multilingual

An automatic language loading system

Allows you to define multiple languages without converting and dealing with RAGE formats

How to use

Included is an Excel file (.xlsx)

Import that file into an editor, like Excel or Google Spreadsheets

Once you are done, save the file then import the file into http://beautifytools.com/excel-to-json-converter.php

The output can be put into a .json file

Adding to resource

Follow the steps above to create one or more language .json files.

Add the following to your resource manifest:

dependencies {'multilingual'}
function language_file(fn) file(fn) language_json(fn) end

Then for each language file, add

language_file 'filename.json'

(replacing filename with the filename of course!)

That's it! The resource automatically loads the language files!

Technicalities

Language name is based on the sheet name, american is the default English game language and must be present. Other languages can be ignored.

Language names can be found in the FiveM Native Reference: https://runtime.fivem.net/doc/natives/?_0x2BDD44CC428A7EAE

The game client loads the corresponding language automatically based on client settings. If the language is not defined, it just uses american.

A1 must be LABEL B1 must be ORIGINAL C1 must be TRANSLATION

Col A is reserved for the label entry, like LANG_SELECT Col B is used for the "original" entry, code ignores it Col C is used for the translation, this is what is shown in-game for that label

Example

"american" sheet

	A	B	C
1	LABEL	ORIGINAL	TRANSLATION
2	LANG_SELECT	Select Language	Select Language
3	LANG_APPLY	Apply	Apply

"spanish" sheet

	A	B	C
