Localization example

[JCash]

Describe the example you'd like I'd like to showcase our text layout feature that supports proper unicode layout, e.g. for RTL languages. I think having a "localisation" example is a good way to do it.

It could either be in a "game menu" with the different buttons, but as a layout example, it may be too small.

Some notes/ideas:

• Use .appmanifest to enable the font layout feature

In example:

• Choose localization (english, arabic, ...) via some in game button
• add the extra font for arabic if selected. And remove it if deselected:
  • See font.add_font()/font.remove_font()
• Get the localized text (e.g. lorem ipsum)
  • E.g. load from disk
• See the text change (LTR, RTL) on screen

Note, the font.add_font() creates the font on-the-fly, so it may cause a delay in game. It would be good to experiment with loading the font + text_<language>.json from within a collection proxy, and then "hook up" the original font collection with the new font.

Lorem ipsum for different languages:

• English - lipsum.com
• Arabic - https://ar.lipsum.com/
• Portuguese - https://pt.lipsum.com/
• Japanese - https://generator.lorem-ipsum.info/_japanese
