Russian localization
Hello! I've got a question. Is there any way to localize Effekseer interface? I see Japanese and English only. And I'd like to add another one - Russian. But I cannot understand to what I start with? There are many files in the directory "languages". :-)
Effekseer's localization is a bit complicated.
Some texts are written in those CSV and converted json and text with python script https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/tree/master/Dev/release/resources/languages
Other texts are written in the code like this. https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/blob/master/Dev/Editor/EffekseerCore/Data/AlphaCrunchValues.cs#L47
In addition, you need to add enum in this https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/blob/master/Dev/Editor/EffekseerCore/Define.cs#L72
If you have a good motivation, please come to Discord or Slack. I can discuss in a detail including improving localization system.
Ooh, it's not easy. Now my motivation is falling ;-) Anyway, I think that I'll get down to work in my free time. When I'm ready I'll use Slack.
We start to discuss improving localization. It may be improved few weeks ago.
I'm sorry to delay. Because releasing of version 1.5 consumed my time. I start to improve it.
** Under developing **
- Add your language
https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/blob/master/Dev/release/resources/languages/languages.txt
For example, ru
- Add CSV files
Copy this directory and rename it into ru. After that, change texts.
https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/tree/master/Dev/release/resources/languages/en
You can see some texts are changed when a language is changed from an option panel
Excellent! Now it's much more convenient. I was expecting just that - one big file with strings. Tomorrow I'll try this new approach.
Well, I couldn't test anything because my attemts to compile Effekseer failed. Too many errors. May be I do something wrong?
After my work, You can change a languages without compile... A menu can be changed with editing external texts on CI version.
https://dev.azure.com/Effekseer/Effekseer/_build/results?buildId=1593&view=artifacts&type=publishedArtifacts
So, now I get Russian text but it looks monospace. Some word's combinations may be long and won't fit on a line.
- What about this text
On codes. I need to migrate it.
https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/blob/master/Dev/Editor/EffekseerCore/Data/OptionValues.cs#L56
Should I implement a function to change a font?

Aah, I got it.
Should I implement a function to change a font?
Yes, I think so. Because the font we use now looks a little weird. Moreover, if we use it in tooltips, for instance, it'll be difficult to read.
The second option looks more familiar, right? ;-)
You now can change a font from external
https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/commit/dbb33165d4081ba6175e4da8cd94f6e2886dea3d
Now you can change a language in Option panel like this.

Excuse me. I finished to convert Position and Rotation into CSV But I need more time to complete this work.
Hi! Yes, I saw new files. I even tried to translate some of them. But I coulnd’t test them yet because Effekseer is still not compiled. Talking about it, could you give me another custom build of Effekseer, please? Then I will test an interface font at least. :-)
About your time. Don’t worry! Do as you feel comfortable. We are not in a hurry, because we have no deadlines.
You can now download the latest version from github actions!
https://github.com/effekseer/Effekseer/actions
Thanks! I've already download and checked the font in the interface. Everything works as it should! Well, I'm waiting for the further migration of strings.
I forgot to say. When you first start the program is in Japanese. Only icons helped me to find the right way. ;-)

It is bug...
I finished to make texts of RenderSettings external. It seem that I finished 50%...
It's OK! I watch the changes and see that v.1.6 need more work. So keep refining Effekseer. Stability is more prefered than localization. I'm in touch anyway.
