Proper localization support in your projects is crucial, if left too long using plain strings it can be a real headache to get supported. The aim of SLang is to be very plug-and-play so you can focus on making your project instead of having to deal with localization code.

Why use SLang?

  • Custom .slang file type which is very simple to read and edit
  • The .slang file includes comment support--a big advantage over using JSON
  • All .slang files are loaded automatically, meaning users can create their own translations that you can easily make viewable in your project without them needing to edit official files
  • Smaller overall file size from JSON, if your project has a lot of text this can add up!
  • Automatically format variables into strings with a special operator
  • All operators can be customized to your liking
