Multi-Language¶

PoracleNG supports multiple languages for pokemon names, move names, and other game data. Users can switch between available languages.

Default Language¶

Set the default locale for all users:

[general]
locale = "en"                            # Default locale (en, fr, de, it, ru, etc.)

Secondary Language¶

A secondary language can be configured for alternative translations in DTS templates (useful for providing English names for web links alongside localized names):

[locale]
language = "en"                          # Secondary language for {{alt}} variables

Available Languages¶

Configure which languages users can switch between with the !language command. Each language can have its own command keywords:

[general.available_languages.en]
poracle = "poracle"
help = "help"

[general.available_languages.de]
poracle = "dasporacle"
help = "hilfe"

[general.available_languages.fr]
poracle = "poracle"
help = "aide"

When configured, users can switch with:

DiscordTelegram

!language de

/language de

Custom Translations¶

Override or add translations by placing a custom.<lang>.json file in config/:

config/custom.en.json
config/custom.de.json

These are merged with the built-in translations from resources/.

Locale Formatting¶

Control date and time display format:

[locale]
timeformat = "en-gb"                     # Locale for date/time formatting
time = "LTS"                             # Time format
date = "L"                               # Date format
address_format = "{{{streetName}}} {{streetNumber}}"
