Hi,
have a look how I do the translation in my add-ons:
- Define a string dict:
https://github.com/dersphere/plugin.video.hdtrailers_net/blob/master/addon.py#L23(This
can also be a seperate file)
- Create a small helper function:
https://github.com/dersphere/plugin.video.hdtrailers_net/blob/master/addon.py#L291
- Now you can write easy to read code:
https://github.com/dersphere/plugin.video.hdtrailers_net/blob/master/addon.py#L247
regards,
sphere
