Localization Generator

Translation tool for easy game localization!

This tool has been used to generate base localization for Deadswitch 3, Dinogen Online, Arsenal Online, and more.

Instructions

npm install - Install the required modules

Add the desired localization.json to the json directory. This file must contain en (English) localization as a base.

npm start - Starts the translation queue

Once complete, the new file will be saved into the output directory.

Details

Your input localization.json file should contain a single object with phrase keys.

For example, you supply the following localization.json file:

{
  "STR_MULTIPLAYER": {
    "en": "Multiplayer"
    }
}

After running the generator, the output localization.json would be:

{
  "STR_MULTIPLAYER": {
    "en": "Multiplayer",
    "ru": "Мультиплеер",
    "zh": "多人游戏",
    "uk": "Мультіплеер",
    "fr": "Multijoueur",
    "tr": "Çok Oyunculu",
    "es": "Multijugador",
    "it": "Multigiocatore",
    "pt": "Multijogador",
    "de": "Mehrspieler",
    "pl": "Tryb wieloosobowy"
  }
}

In your game, you would load the output file and reference the "STR_MULTIPLAYER" phrase to use the desired language.

Configuration

You can change the desired output languages in config.json using the ISO 2-letter code.
