Fields

LanguageNames

A list of the full names of all of the languages that the game supports

public static readonly Dictionary<string, string> LanguageNames

Field Value

Dictionary<string, string>

Names

public static readonly Dictionary<NameCategory, List<string>> Names

Field Value

Dictionary<NameCategory, List<string>>

Methods

Get(LnCategory, string)

Gets a localized string in the given category with the given key. If the localization is not found, the key, surrounded by question marks, is returned instead.

public static string Get(LnCategory category, string key)

Parameters

category LnCategory

The category that contains the localization

key string

The key to localize

Returns

string

The localization of the key

Get(LnCategory, string, params object[])

Gets a localized string in the given category with the given key. If the localization is not found, the key, surrounded by question marks, is returned instead.

public static string Get(LnCategory category, string key, params object[] args)

Parameters

category LnCategory

The category that contains the localization

key string

The key to localize

args object[]

An optional set of arguments that are passed to Format(IFormatProvider, string, object)

Returns

string

The localization of the key

GetAllNames(bool, StylePreference)

Returns all of the names that are meant for Tinies in the current localization, optionally taking into account the given StylePreference. To retrieve a random name while taking into account the name generation country priority of the current localization, use GetRandomName(Random, bool, StylePreference). Returned entries for first names are arrays with three entries: the name, the style preference, and the most common country code. Returned entries for last names are arrays with two entries: the name and the most common country code.

public static IEnumerable<string[]> GetAllNames(bool lastName, StylePreference preference = StylePreference.Neutral)

Parameters

lastName bool

Whether to return last names, rather than first names.

preference StylePreference

The style preference for which names should be returned. If this is Neutral, names that match any style preference are returned.

Returns

IEnumerable<string[]>

All names that match the given preference. Returned entries for first names are arrays with three entries: the name, the style preference, and the most common country code. Returned entries for last names are arrays with two entries: the name and the most common country code.

GetBool(LnCategory, string)

Gets a localized string in the given category with the given key and tries to parse it as a bool using TryParse(string, out bool). If the localization is not found or cannot be parsed, false is returned.

public static bool GetBool(LnCategory category, string key)

Parameters

category LnCategory

The category that contains the localization.

key string

The key to localize.

Returns

bool

The localization of the key as a bool.

GetKeys(LnCategory)

Returns all of the keys that are registered for localization for a given LnCategory

public static IEnumerable<string> GetKeys(LnCategory category)

Parameters

category LnCategory

The localization category

Returns

IEnumerable<string>

A set of keys

GetRandomName(Random, bool, StylePreference)

Returns a random name chosen from all of the names that are meant for Tinies in the current localization, optionally taking into account the given StylePreference. This method uses GetAllNames(bool, StylePreference) to retrieve the names and then chooses one randomly. The name generation country priority of the current localization is taken into account when choosing the name.

public static string GetRandomName(Random random, bool lastName, StylePreference preference = StylePreference.Neutral)

Parameters

random Random

The Random instance to use for the random choice.

lastName bool

Whether to return last names, rather than first names.

preference StylePreference

The style preference for which names should be returned. If this is Neutral, names that match any style preference are returned.

Returns

string

The random name chosen.

Reload()

Reloads the strings for the current language (SetLanguage(string)) for the base game and all mods. Note that, for most ui elements to update, they have to be re-created.

public static void Reload()

SetLanguage(string)

Switches the current language to the language given. Note that, for most ui elements to update, they have to be re-created.

public static void SetLanguage(string language)

Parameters

language string

The code of the language to set
