Hi Kee,

I support a training development & delivery system that currently supports training in English, Spanish and Arabic. The training dev environment is English only, but the training content you can create with it can be in those other languages. When we added support for Arabic a couple of years ago, we switched from trying to maintain everything in custom properties and using a separate template stack for each language, to storing all language-specific settings (RTL vs LTR, etc) and default content in YAML files. Now we can easily add new languages with no changes needed to code (at least in theory - it seems to work out perfectly).
Oops - should say "it NEVER seems to work out perfectly."

To add a new language, we clone an existing YAML file and translate it, and adjust the RTL/LTR training UI orientation settings as needed. Add the YAML file into the next build of the content editor and Bob's your uncle.

Best -
Phil Davis

Does anyone on this list have an app that you localize into other languages (French, German, Japanese, etc)?

If so, I’d like to ask you how you support localization. Want to see if there is a common method since LiveCode does not support the techniques used by macOS, iOS, Android, Windows.

Thanks,

Kee Nethery
