| + | [MainCamera] | ||
| + | FrustumWidth = 800 | ||
| + | FrustumHeight = 600 | ||

| + | Excellent, the localization is now added to all our parts of the config. But there is no way to switch locales. The final step is the define the ''Space Bar'' as the key to switch between languages. First the key in the config: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code ini> | ||
| + | [MainInput] | ||
| + | KEY_ESCAPE = Quit | ||
| + | KEY_SPACE = SwitchLanguage | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Define a variable at the top of the code to keep track of the current language: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code c> | ||
| + | int currentLanguageIndex = 0; | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then in code, in the ''Run()'' function, switch the locale: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code c> | ||
| + | if (orxInput_HasBeenActivated("SwitchLanguage")) | ||
| + | { | ||
| + | currentLanguageIndex++; | ||
| + | if (currentLanguageIndex > 1){ | ||
| + | currentLanguageIndex = 0; | ||
| + | } | ||
| + | |||
| + | orxLocale_SelectLanguage(orxLocale_GetLanguage(currentLanguageIndex)); | ||
| + | } | ||
| </code> | </code> | ||
| Compile and run. Now you can switch between the two languages with the Space Bar. Everything in the game switches over in an instant. Pretty impressive stuff. | Compile and run.
