Wrong Language using Localization Tool

AliMoe · March 10, 2020, 1:12pm

Hey hey

I’m trying to implement the localization tool und I’m currently having the problem, that I’m seeing my game in the wrong language. I tried looking through the source code of the engine, but I couldn’t find the place, where the browsers locale gets fetched and used for deciding on which language to use. So I’m wondering, is playcanvas not doing this by default? Do I have to set the local myself?

Thanks

Looks like it gets set as en-US as default.

 * its default behaviour define a different implementation for {@link pc.I18n#getText} and {@link pc.I18n#getPluralText}.
 * @param {pc.Application} app - The application.
 * @property {string} locale The current locale for example "en-US". Changing the locale will raise an event which will cause localized Text Elements to
 * change language to the new locale.
 * @property {number[]|pc.Asset[]} assets An array of asset ids or assets that contain localization data in the expected format. I18n will automatically load
 * translations from these assets as the assets are loaded and it will also automatically unload translations if the assets get removed or unloaded at runtime.

var I18n = function (app) {
    pc.EventHandler.call(this);


    this.locale = DEFAULT_LOCALE;
    this._translations = {};
    this._availableLangs = {};
    this._app = app;
    this._assets = [];
    this._parser = new pc.I18nParser();
};
I18n.prototype = Object.create(pc.EventHandler.prototype);
I18n.prototype.constructor = I18n;
