Localizer

This project provides a LanguageLoader class which is able to load .json files and provide localized Strings from it.

Usage

This project contains two important files (the file Localizer.java is not needed):

Language.java

The Language.java file contains the enum Language which defines the languages available and their language file names. To add a new language, add a new enum value and the language file name as a String.

Example:

• English: EN("en") (Already included)
• German: DE("de") (Already included)
• French: FR("fr")
• Spanish: ES("es")

All languages listed in Language.java will be loaded from the language file path.

LanguageLoader.java

The LanguageLoader.java file contains the loader functions of the Localizer. It provides a constructor and five methods:

LanguageLoader(String path)

The constructor of the class loads all language files specified as enums in Language.java from the provided path.

getLocalizedString(String path)

This method returns a String in the language currently set. The path describes the structure of the language.json file (Example: menu.play refers to the String play in the object menu).

getLanguage

This method returns the language currently set.

setLanguage(Language language)

This method sets the current language to the language language.

getLangFilePath

This method returns the absolute path of the current language file directory.

setLangFilePath

This method sets the path to the language file directory.
