Hello

During delevopment this has come up a Lot and something I have been meaning to ask.

How do you make your game support different languages?

I hear GS games like twin swords say they support seven Languages.

Is there are away to make the app auto and choose the required language.

Just looking on how to or where to Start and would like someone to explain it :)

Thanks

    @Elfizm In my game, my text is all stored in tables.
    When starting the game, you choose your language, and I copy the appropriate language table, to the text table. ( I take the table and translate every value keeping them in the same cells.) Every time text is displayed, I display a table cell value. get it? ;)

    Thanks, that's what I was thinking buy was sort of hoping there was an auto detector that is displayed as an attribute that says what language the device is set too.

    Many thanks,

    So my thought is then to save that so the user doesn't have to keep choosing?
