Acessing Translations and New Scenes

mattfdm

Hello, everyone I'm using the Godot engine for a cople of days and still have some problems trying to access information and putting new scenes on the screen. Recently i was trying to apply a translation to a project. I am using a .csv file and trying to apply English, Portuguese and Spanish to the Menu of the game and them load the menu. Sorry for any english mistake, not my first language, and any code mistake, i'm very new to gdscript. The buttons have the name of the languages they should show the Menu

extends Control

func _on_English_pressed():
	Translation.Server.set_locale("en")
	get_tree().change_scene("res://Menu.tscn")

func _on_Espanol_pressed():
	Translation.Server.set_locale("es")
	get_tree().change_scene("res://Menu.tscn")

func _on_Portugues_pressed():
	Translation.Server.set_locale("pt")
	get_tree().change_scene("res://Menu.tscn")

You don't need to reload the scene to apply translation changes. Setting the locale using TranslationServer is enough, as per the Translation demo.

If you have custom nodes and want their text to be updated, add a _notification() function that handles the notification that is sent to all nodes when the language is changed. I haven't tested this, but it might work:

# Stores the text that is displayed to the user.
var text = "" setget set_text

# Stores the translation key.
var original_text = ""

func set_text(p_text):
    text = tr(p_text)
    original_text = p_text

func _notification(what):
    if what == NOTIFICATION_TRANSLATION_CHANGED:
        self.text = tr(original_text)
