Localization

Creating Localizations

You first need to create a localization file. A localization file is formatted as a list of "term", "localization" entries. (Space is required!)
Excerpt from the English localization:

"TarotCards/EnemyBlast/Description", "Knocks back enemies within your range while also damaging them."
"TarotCards/EnemyBlast/Lore", "A curse against those unworthy of your presence."
"TarotCards/EnemyBlast/Name", "Divine Blast"
"TarotCards/Fireball/Description", "Shoot a piercing bolt of fire."
"TarotCards/Fireball/Lore", "Send forth the flames of the Underworld."

You can use the Template Spreadsheet to get started. Use the Your Localization Here column to write your localizations, and copy the Output Localization (without the header row) into a text file called <YourLocalization>.language (any extension is possible).

Adding Localizations

private void Awake() {
    string localizationPath = Path.Combine(Plugin.PluginPath, "Assets", "<YourLocalization>.language");
    CustomLocalizationManager.LoadLocalization("BadlyTranslated", localizationPath);
}

If you plugin does not have PluginPath defined, you need to do so with

PluginPath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Info.Location);

Final Steps

For the localization to load, you need to put it in the appropriate location. For the example, this would be /Assets/<YourLocalization>.language relative to the root folder containing the .dll
Directory structure:

📂plugins
 ┣📂Assets
 ┃ ┗📖<YourLocalization>.language
 ┗📜mod_name.dll
