Title: Multi-language briefing
Post by: Joiner on 15 Dec 2009, 19:59:32

Hi all!

Is there a way to make a multi-language briefing in Arma2? I use the F2 template to create an MP mission and it looks like it's possible to create a briefing in one language only. I've searched the forum for some info abt this, but there is only a fuzzy explanation without any examples or templates. Could you help me with this please? Thanks in advance.

Use localize at places where you would use a string (sentence)

Could you please give an example of how I can use this in the briefing?

Example:

Code: [Select]

$objective = "Take control of the church.";to

Code: [Select]

$objective = localize "STR_OBJECTIVE_CHURCH";where STR_OBJECTIVE_CHURCH is defined in the missions stringtable.

you could also use:

Code: [Select]

Language, English, German
STR_Briefing, "briefing_english.sqf", "briefing_german.sqf"

then:

Code: [Select]

[] execVM (localize "STR_Briefing");
