LOCALIZATION#

Overview#

All text displayed in the creation menu UI can be customized through the Locales table. This enables full localization and custom branding.

UI Labels#

config/locales.lua
Copy
Locales = {
    -- Header text
    subHeader = 'CREATE YOUR DESIRED LOOK',

    -- Parent selection labels
    Father_text = 'FACE 1',
    Mother_text = 'FACE 2',

    -- Item labels
    Item_text = 'ITEM',
    Texture_text = 'TEXTURE',
    Opacity_text = 'OPACITY',

    -- Button labels
    discard = 'DISCARD',
    default_text = 'DEFAULT',
    blank_text = 'BLANK',

    -- Help text
    clothes_on_of_help_text = 'put clothes off/on',
    Expand_help_text = 'CLICK HERE TO EXPAND...',
    Shrink_help_text = 'CLICK AGAIN TO SHRINK...'
}

Header Text#

The main subtitle shown at the top of the creation menu:

config/locales.lua
Copy

Custom Branding#

You can customize text for your server's branding:

config/locales.lua
Copy
Locales = {
    subHeader = 'WELCOME TO MYSERVER - CHARACTER CREATION',
    Father_text = 'GENETICS A',
    Mother_text = 'GENETICS B',
    -- ... etc
}

NUI Localization#

The web UI also has localization support in the TypeScript files:

web/src/component/userConfigFn/locales.ts
Copy
export class="token keyword">const locales = {
    en: {
        save: class="token string">"Save",
        cancel: class="token string">"Cancel",
        class="token comment">// ... more strings
    },
    es: {
        save: class="token string">"Guardar",
        cancel: class="token string">"Cancelar",
        class="token comment">// ... more strings
    }
}

Best Practices#

1. Keep labels short - UI space is limited
2. Use UPPERCASE - Matches the default style
3. Test in-game - Ensure text fits properly
4. Be consistent - Use same terminology throughout
5. Consider RTL - Right-to-left languages may need UI adjustments
