See the Creating An Addon page for more info on folder structure. See the Language Support page for more information on this topic. The language identifier should be unique to prevent clashes with other addons' translations. A language identifier is placed in each file as a variable name and the value of which is the translation.Įach language file will need to be stored in this format: the description in the buy menu) to be translated, you place in a language identifier instead.
