Add Translations

To add a translation, you must add a JLang instance to the RRP.

Note

The following examples assume you are working with a RRP named pack.

First, create a JLang instance.

Once a JLang has been created, you can start adding translations to it.

Tip

JLangs can be constructed via a builder pattern, allowing consecutive translations to be placed one after another.

Example:

...
lang.addBlockTranslation(ResourceLocation.withDefaultNamespace("torch"), "Torch but it's different but it's not so it's the same.)
        .addItemTranslation(Items.STICK, "It's still a stick");

As you can see above, there are multiple ways of adding translations. The easiest method to add a translation is to refer to the object that you want to add a translation for, but in cases that this won’t work, you can always add a translation via the resource location directly.

Once you have finished adding translations to the JLang instance, you need to add the instance into the pack.

...
pack.addLang(ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(MOD_ID, "en_us", lang);

Now test that the translations appear in game, and you’re done.

Tip

Builder Pattern

Because JLang uses a builder pattern, you can create it, and use it, directly within the addLang function.

pack.addLang(ResourceLocation.fromNamespaceAndPath(MOD_ID, "en_us",
    new JLang().addBlockTranslation(...)
            .addItemTranslation(...)
);
