Localized strings server side - is this possible - with libcod or without?

[richard277]

I was wondering why localized strings are hard coded into client side files. For example I would like to change a text and I change that one only in a server gsc file. Can this lead to problems? Or what is the use of a client side localized string file?

Thank you very much!

this is done for the convenience of localizing the game for different languages

strings in .gsc are general purpose strings for developers. Localize*.iwd files decode these lines into messages like "PLAYER_CONNECT" (from .gsc) to "Player connected!"(from localize .str file).
if string from .gsc not find reference in .str from lozalize*.iwd - just a used that string.

You can make self languages-system in .gsc without localized strings and libcod.
