Translations list and translation file format

r3d9u11

Hi all! I have a two questions about Godot's localization:

1) can I contain translations in separated text files, one text file (for example .tres) for one language (en_US.tres, es_ES.tres)? Where I can find internal structure of text translation file?

2) is it possible to get available translations list in my gdscript? I want to get each file name from Translations list.

Thanks!

It is possible to use gettext .po files in Godot projects, which let you define per-language strings in separate files. As far as I know, this feature is not formally documented yet, but you can already take a look at this GitHub issue for more information.

One of the upsides of using gettext is that it's an established standard in software development, which means translation platforms like Weblate support it out of the box.

Thanks for hint! I tried to add my .po files to project, but without success. I added same theme on github with a minimal example: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/20375
