Ang Kumpletong Gabay sa Lokalizasyon ng Larong Godot

# TranslationServer is Godot's built-in localization system.
# It loads translations at startup and resolves keys via tr().

# Set the game's locale
TranslationServer.set_locale("ja")

# Get the current locale
var current = TranslationServer.get_locale()  # "ja"

# Translate a key — works everywhere in GDScript
var text = tr("MENU_START")  # "ゲームスタート"

# Translate with context (Godot 4.x)
var text = tr("OPEN", "verb")    # "Open" (action)
var text = tr("OPEN", "adj")     # "Open" (state)

# translations.csv
# First column = key, subsequent columns = locale codes
keys,en,ja,de,es
MENU_START,Start Game,ゲームスタート,Spiel starten,Iniciar juego
MENU_SETTINGS,Settings,設定,Einstellungen,Configuración
MENU_QUIT,Quit,終了,Beenden,Salir

# In Godot Editor:
# 1. Place your .csv file in the project (e.g., res://translations.csv)
# 2. Godot auto-imports it — creates .translation resources
# 3. Go to Project > Project Settings > Localization > Translations
# 4. Add the generated .translation files

# translations.po — Gettext format for Godot
# Place in res://locale/ja.po

# Add each .po file:

# Each language defines its own plural formula.

# English (2 forms: one, other)

msgstr[1] "You collected %d coins."

# Russian (3 forms: one, few, many)
msgid "You collected %d coin."
msgid_plural "You collected %d coins."
msgstr[0] "Вы собрали %d монету."
msgstr[1] "Вы собрали %d монеты."

# GDScript string formatting with tr()

# Positional placeholders with %

# Named placeholders (manual replacement)

# Godot 4.x supports font fallback chains.
# When a glyph is missing from the primary font, fallbacks are checked in order.

# In the Editor:
# 1. Create a LabelSettings or Theme resource
# 2. Set the primary font (e.g., Noto Sans for Latin)
# 3. Add fallback fonts: Noto Sans JP, KR, SC, Arabic

# Programmatically:
func setup_fonts():
    var font = FontFile.new()
    font.load_dynamic_font("res://fonts/NotoSans-Regular.ttf")

    var fallback_jp = FontFile.new()
    fallback_jp.load_dynamic_font("res://fonts/NotoSansJP-Regular.ttf")
    font.add_fallback(fallback_jp)

    $Label.add_theme_font_override("font", font)

# Right-to-left (RTL) support for Arabic, Hebrew, etc.

# In the Editor:
# Select your Control node > Layout > Text Direction = RTL

# Programmatically:
func setup_rtl():
    var locale = TranslationServer.get_locale()
    var rtl_locales = ["ar", "he", "fa", "ur"]

    if locale.substr(0, 2) in rtl_locales:
        $Label.text_direction = Control.TEXT_DIRECTION_RTL
        $Container.layout_direction = Control.LAYOUT_DIRECTION_RTL

# Approach 1: Translate in _ready() using tr()
extends Control

func _ready():
    $StartButton.text = tr("MENU_START")
    $SettingsButton.text = tr("MENU_SETTINGS")
    $QuitButton.text = tr("MENU_QUIT")

# Approach 2: Use auto-translate in the editor
# Set the Text property to the translation key (e.g., "MENU_START")
# and enable "Auto Translate" on the node.

# Approach 3: Locale-specific scenes for complex layouts
func load_localized_scene():
    var locale = TranslationServer.get_locale().substr(0, 2)
    var path = "res://ui/main_menu_%s.tscn" % locale
    if ResourceLoader.exists(path):
        add_child(load(path).instantiate())
    else:
        add_child(load("res://ui/main_menu_en.tscn").instantiate())

# LocaleChain for Godot — smart locale fallback
# Install from Godot AssetLib or copy addons/locale_chain/ into your project

# Problem: Godot's TranslationServer falls back directly to the default locale.
# A pt-BR player with only pt-PT translations sees English, not Portuguese.

# Solution: One-line setup
func _ready():
    LocaleChain.configure()  # Uses built-in fallback chains

# Now pt-BR falls back to pt-PT → pt → default
# es-MX falls back to es-419 → es → default
# zh-Hant-HK falls back to zh-Hant-TW → zh-Hant → default

# Custom configuration:
func _ready():
    # Override specific chains
    LocaleChain.configure({"pt-BR": ["pt"]})

    # Full custom — only your chains
    LocaleChain.configure(
        {"pt-BR": ["pt-PT", "pt"], "es-MX": ["es-419", "es"]},
        false  # don't merge defaults
    )

    # Reset to original state
    LocaleChain.reset()

# Translate your Godot locale files with AI
# CSV files:
# In your IDE, ask your AI assistant:
> Translate translations.csv to Japanese, Korean, and German

# PO files:
> Translate locale/en.po to ja, ko, de

# Or use the CLI in CI/CD:
npx i18n-agent translate locale/en.po --lang ja,ko,de

# The tool preserves:
# - CSV column structure and delimiters
# - PO msgctxt, msgid_plural, and plural forms
# - Placeholder syntax (%s, %d, {name})
# - Comments and metadata headers
