Language

[TorNix~|nR]

Hello guys, I wanted to ask if I can set this languages in buttons

if (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language") == "English")
if (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language") == "Spanish")

this is the button

guiCreateButton(0, 0, 0, 0, "Police", false, panel)

I'm wondering how to change the button from English to Spanish, any ideas please?

I mean changing that "Police" to "Policía" (Spanish Language).

You could try this, not tested. But it is a start.

local languageSwitch = {}

local defaultLanguage = "nl"

function guiSetLangaugeSupport (element, languages)
	languageSwitch[#languageSwitch + 1] = {element = element, languages = languages}

	guiSetText(element, languages[defaultLanguage] or guiGetText(element))

	return element
end

function guiSetLanguageSwitch (language)
	for i=1, #languageSwitch do
		local switchData = languageSwitch[i]
		guiSetText(switchData.element, switchData[language] or switchData[defaultLanguage] or select(2, next(switchData)) or guiGetText(switchData.element))
	end
end

 

switchData[language] or -- The option you want

switchData[defaultLanguage] or -- default language

select(2, next(switchData)) or -- First possible item

guiGetText(switchData.element) -- previous text

;O

 

local button = guiSetLangaugeSupport(guiCreateButton(0, 0, 0, 0, "", false, panel), {en = "Police", nl = "Politie"})

Thank you so much, I just tested it, the defaultLanguage is working fine

but I want to know how to get the language I have

Like I told you I am using this

if (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language") == "English")
if (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language") == "Spanish")

I made this when the player join, he select the language (English or Spanish)

if you understand what I mean

[TorNix~|nR]

I'm sorry if it's confusing, I mean
For example

{en = "Police", es = "Policía"})

I want the "es" to get

(getElementData(localPlayer, "Language") == "Spanish")

and the "en" to get

(getElementData(localPlayer, "Language") == "English")

{Spanish = "policía", English = "Police"}

You could swap es with Spanish, does that help?

 

 

guiSetLanguageSwitch (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language")) -- call the function

 

local defaultLanguage = "Spanish"

function guiSetLangaugeSupport (element, languages)

	guiSetText(element, languages[defaultLanguage] or guiGetText(element))

	return element

function guiSetLanguageSwitch (language)
	for i=1, #languageSwitch do
		local switchData = languageSwitch[i]
		guiSetText(switchData.element, switchData[language] or switchData[defaultLanguage] or select(2, next(switchData)) or guiGetText(switchData.element))
	end
end

guiSetLanguageSwitch (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language"))

local button = guiSetLangaugeSupport(guiCreateRadioButton(17, 27, 205, 21, "Police", false, panel), {Spanish = "policía", English = "Police"})

@IIYAMA I'm sorry but I'm a complete failure

It is the moment of switching languages.

It should at least be executed after creating the button. Now it is executed before that.

Try to run this line with a command handler or with onClientResourceStart. (that is if you know if the value is set before that)

I used this

local languageSwitch = {}

local defaultLanguage = "English"

function guiSetLangaugeSupport (element, languages)
	languageSwitch[#languageSwitch + 1] = {element = element, languages = languages}

	guiSetText(element, languages[defaultLanguage] or guiGetText(element))

	return element
end

function guiSetLanguageSwitch (language)
	for i=1, #languageSwitch do
		local switchData = languageSwitch[i]
		guiSetText(switchData.element, switchData[language] or switchData[defaultLanguage] or select(2, next(switchData)) or guiGetText(switchData.element)) -------THE PROBLEM
	end
end

local button = guiSetLangaugeSupport(guiCreateRadioButton(17, 27, 205, 21, "Police", false, panel), {Spanish = "policía", English = "Police"})

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement( ),
    function ()
        guiSetLanguageSwitch (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language"))
    end
);

but I got this problem

Bad argument @'guiSetText' [Expected string at argument 2, got table]

You need to index one more time with .languages, before you index with the actually language you want.

 

1. So:

switchData.languages[language]

 

2. Same goes for the other lines that make use of that table.

switchData.langauges[defaultLanguage]

select(2, next(switchData.languages))

I used this

local languageSwitch = {}

local defaultLanguage = "Spanish"

function guiSetLangaugeSupport (element, languages)
	languageSwitch[#languageSwitch + 1] = {element = element, languages = languages}

	guiSetText(element, languages[defaultLanguage] or guiGetText(element))

	return element
end

function guiSetLanguageSwitch (language)
	for i=1, #languageSwitch do
		local switchData = languageSwitch[i]
		guiSetText(switchData.languages[language] or switchData.langauges[defaultLanguage] or select(2, next(switchData.languages)) or guiGetText(switchData.element)) -----------HEREAGAIN
	end
end

local button = guiSetLangaugeSupport(guiCreateRadioButton(17, 27, 205, 21, "Police", false, panel), {Spanish = "policía", English = "Police"})

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getRootElement(),
    function ()
        guiSetLanguageSwitch (getElementData(localPlayer, "Language"))
    end
);

and got the problem in the same line

guiSetText [Expected gui-element at argument 1, got string 'Police']

 

[IIYAMA]

Provide the gui element.

switchData.element

 

And then you are ready to go

I'm sorry again but I didn't understand how

I changed every element to button, I tried panel too

but it's the same problem

Before (without element):

guiSetText(switchData.languages[language] or switchData.langauges[defaultLanguage] or select(2, next(switchData.languages)) or guiGetText(switchData.element))

 

After (with element):

guiSetText(switchData.element, switchData.languages[language] or switchData.langauges[defaultLanguage] or select(2, next(switchData.languages)) or guiGetText(switchData.element))

Also please stop putting confusing reactions on most of my replies, it marks them as confusing in general while most of them are not. Sure, I do not mind, if my reply does not make sense at all. You could using emotions in your own replies instead, that makes more sense.
