App Languages

[Captain_Harris]

Is there a way to make a app with multiple languages ? so that, for example: if the user downloads the app in an english speaking country the app is english, or if he downloads in spain, it is spanish, etc...

when i make a "Play" button, i could use different animations or directions with different languages, so that i could use it like this:

if download location is USA then set direction of "play" button to "english or so.

I think it was Olivier who posted a nice method. The IOS Object can retrieve the preferred language. Personally I use this for my bi-language games. I check if the player uses german settings and adjust buttons and text. If it's not german I keep everything in english.

Thank you for answering i could not find Oliviers post. do you know the link, or can you post a example please ?

Just look at the help of the IOS Object, under expressions. It returns language strings like de, fr, en, etc.
So, in my case I check if the preferred language string="de". If so, I use german buttons. If not I keep everything in english, which is my default. It's really just a single string comparison (use index 0 for the preferred language string).

Ok great. i will try it.Thank you

i do not understand it. if use the ios object, i can not choose a condition like "preferred language"

[Captain_Harris]

is this right so ?

1. set global string a to de ( for german )
2. compare to global string: global string a is equal GetNthPreferredLanguage$("IOS",0) then set object to german

OK .... i' tried this and it works. Thanks my friend

That's fine

You can also use "Compare two general values". Seems you don't know this option, look at it, it's useful.

In the current situation you don't need a global string. Instead, you can directly compare "de" to GetNthPreferredLanguage$("IOS",0)

Ah .... Ok. Thanks
