Multi Language System
-> short and easy <-

Tutorial in Spanish:

http://forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.ph...40#post1448040

Introduction.
- Hi, well, this is my first tutorial and i'm going to explain how to make a command with "Multi Language" with a easy method. Well, let's start:

Step 1: Select the language by default

- We need to set the language by default for when we join the server.

- For do that we need to add the follow code in the first part of our script.

pawn Код:

new Language[MAX_PLAYERS] = 0; //Initialize with the Default Language - English

Step 2: Select language to wiev

- First of all we need to decide what is the predominant language, (You need to decide the language all time that you enter to server).

- For that, add this code under the right public.

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
     //In this case let's say that the predominant language is English
     SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xC0C0C0FF, "The predominant language of this server is: English");
     SendClientMessage(playerid, 0xC0C0C0FF, "To change language use: (/english - /spanish"); //I put only the language "English" and "Spanish", but you can add more...
     return 1;
}

- Remember that you can change the color of the mensage in where is the "0xC0C0C0FF", that color by default is Grey.

Step 3: Language Choice

- Now, we need to make the command that set your language to "English" or to "Spanish".

This code goes straight under OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[]) public.

pawn Код:

//-------------------------------- Set to "English" -------------------------------------//
if((strcmp(cmdtext,"/english",true) == 0) {
Language[playerid] = 0; // Pay attention that the "English" language is in 0
SendClientMessage(playerid,0xC0C0C0FF,"You choose the english language.");
    return 1;   
    }
//-------------------------------- Set to "Spanish" ------------------------------------//
if((strcmp(cmdtext,"/spanish",true) == 0) {
Language[playerid] = 1; // Pay attention that the "Spanish" language is in 1
SendClientMessage(playerid,0xC0C0C0FF,"Elegistes el idioma espaсol.");
    return 1;   
    }

Step 4: How to send language messages

- When a player for example, types /help, we need to see what language he has, so we can send him the right message in the right language.

pawn Код:

if((strcmp(cmdtext,"/help",true) == 0) // English
||(strcmp(cmdtext,"/ayuda",true) == 0)) // Spanish 
    
    {
        switch (Language[playerid])
        {
            case 0: //Now you see why i say after pay attention to the number 0.
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD400AA,"HELP:");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD400AA,"Type /lock to close your vehicle.");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD400AA,"Type /unlock to open your vehicle.");
            }
            case 1: //Now you see why i say after pay attention to the number 1.
            {
                SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD400AA,"AYUDA:");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD400AA,"Escribe /lock para bloquear tu vehiculo.");
                SendClientMessage(playerid,0xFFD400AA,"Escribe /unlock para desbloquear tu vehiculo.");
            }
        }
        return 1;
    }

-> Well, that is all, very easy and short method

P.S: My real language is spanish so if i have somethings bad writed is because i do what i can

Try making a function like

pawn Код:

stock SendLangMessage(playerid,color[],lang1[],lang2[])
{
    switch(Language[playerid])
    {
        case 0:{SendClientMessage(playerid,color,lang1);}
        case 1:{SendClientMessage(playerid,color,lang2);}
    }
    return 1;
}

I have seen many Multilanguage tutorials like this but only some text are converting into other languages :/

Re: Multi Language System (Very short and easy) - AndreT - 09.10.2011

The most convenient way would be doing multilingual systems the way YSI does (as far as I know, haven't checked though). You should have several language files in XML format. When a message is sent, then based on the player's language preference, it should read the right XML file and send that message.

        case 1:{SendClientMessage(playerid,color,lang2);}
    }
    return 1;
}

pawn Код:

SendLanguageMessage( szP, color, es[ ], eng[ ] )
{
    if( Language[ szP ] = 0 ) SendClientMessage( szP, color, es ) ;
    else if( Language[ szP ] = 1 ) SendClientMessage( szP, color, eng ) ;
    else SendClientMessage( szP, color, "Unknown language" ) ;
    return 1;
}

Use

pawn Код:

CMD:lmessage( playerid, params[ ])
{
    SendLanguageMessage( playerid, -1, "Spanish" , "English" )
    return true;
}
