Suggestion - New Multi Language System
« on: February 25, 2004, 01:54:59 PM »

I have another suggestion: I think it will be great to include a multiple language system for only ONE game distribution; I system that allow to chose , in one compilation of the game, the language that the player wish, like the AGS system; or the possibility of chose the language in the options of the game.

I added the ability to reload a string table at runtime in the last version. But as I said, I consider the multiple packages solution much much better, since you can change also other resources that way, not only the texts.

I'm pretty much aware of the localization issues. For example for my language, I need to change not only the texts, but also the fonts, since the central european codepage differs in certain characters. The same applies to greek and cyrilic.

This is really good to do, in only One CD, a Spanish - English - French - German - Italian and Portugues version, like Monky 1 CD ore the Little Big adventure Games; It is goos for distribution and for Cd printing too. If the we need to do an, for exemple, a Japanese, or Czech version, yes, it is needed to rebuild some graphics, the fonts, etc; but for the european languages is ideal.
