an interesting approach to translation methods. however, in practice, there is a way, perhaps, simpler and more effective. considering that sometimes a translation file can contain hundreds of translation tags.

Let me briefly explain this method. I hope this does not infringe on the value of this extension, but only shows an alternative way to do without extensions at all.

The principle is based on storing the contents of the tags of each language in its own text field. naturally invisible , but just text fields located on the screen. for example. english and the second text is Spanish.

the tags are separated by some special. a conditional sign. for example, “#” or it can be a combination of “#|#” characters with any special sign. next, we determine the character we need and take the values from the array that we form by splitting the text values according to these combinations of characters.

and here is a fragment from the text of another language.it is important to keep only the sequence:

in this example, the “#” sign is the separatorat the same time, in the text of another language, it is important for us that the line numbers match.

to reduce repetitions, you can create procedures and manage repetitions… here, anyone wants to. and at the same time, you can store primary data and not necessarily a translation. It’s also a matter of taste

as a result, 1. we determine the desired language. we take the source text from the desired text invisible field. 2. divide into an array by special characters. 3. We place the values in the labels for these elements of the array. And that’s it. simple and editable. you don’t need any files or assets. problems with editing json and other things.

and do you know what is convenient in this method of translation? this is to add a new language for translation. we just take the whole text and translate it right away. we add another text box to the project and that’s it. well, is it possible to instantly repeat json markup?

Far more complicated trying to remember the index of a desired text into an array, also if you modifiy the order of the texts everything could get messy. Working with keys kinda like a dictionary is way simplier and flexible
