# Localization Generator

Translation tool for easy game localization!

This tool has been used to generate base localization for [Deadswitch 3](https://deadswitch3.com), [Dinogen Online](https://dinogenonline.com), [Arsenal Online](https://arsenalonline.net), 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.

## Note

This tool uses **Google's Translate API** for translations. It is not 100% accurate and should be reviewed for complex phrases.
