Does anyone know how to correctly handle translations in a gamemode?

To allow text translation, you can use compose :
CODE: SELECT ALL
UIManager.UIAll.BigMessage = TextLib::Compose("Hello $<%1$>!", Player.Login);
The text "_Hello $<%1$> !_World" will be sent ( _ is in fact a weird unicode character ). The client will attempt to translate "Hello $<%1$> !", it will find "Salut $<%1$> !", and then replace the "%1". The client will then show : "Salut Gugli !".

I saw that but there's no info about where to write the different translations (for sentence that aren't already in the game).

I know about TextLib::Compose but it only works to translate sentences which are already in the game.
It doesn't seem to be possible to use it to translate new sentences.

What kind of sentences would you like to add? We created
localisation forums where players can improve ingame translations or report if a translation is missing in their language.

I'm talking about the sentences really specific to a custom gamemode (the rules of the gamemode, the sentences describing the objectives...).
These sentences would only be used by one gamemode so I don't think that they should be handled by Nadeo.
I would like to have the possibility, in Maniascript, to add some new translations specific to a gamemode.

I had this problem too and wrote a library for that. I hope that helps you with your problem.

Yes, we need a library like this but I think that it should be provided by Nadeo.
