Switch language

lua

Config.Lang = 'en' -- 'en', 'fr' or 'es'

English, French and Spanish ship complete in shared/locale.lua.

Add your own language

Copy the en block in shared/locale.lua, rename it, and translate the values:

lua

Locale = {
    en = { ... },
    fr = { ... },
    es = { ... },
    de = {
        no_access = "Zugriff eingeschrankt",
        no_money = "Nicht genug Geld",
        applied = "Tattoo aufgetragen !",
        shop_name = "Tattoo-Studio",
        -- ...
    },
}

Then set Config.Lang = 'de'.

Any key you leave out falls back to English, so a partial translation never breaks the UI.

Keep the text accent-free. The same keys feed GTA natives (DrawText, help notifications, blip names) which render accented UTF-8 badly. That is why the shipped French and Spanish locales are written without accents.

Format placeholders

A few strings take a value, keep the %d where it belongs:

lua

too_many_zones = "Too many inked body parts (max %d)",
too_many_images = "Too many images (max %d)",
