Proper localization support in your projects is crucial; it can be a real headache to implement if left too long using plain strings. The aim of SLang is to be very plug-and-play so you can focus on making your project instead of having to deal with localization code.

SLang comes with a demo showcasing how it can be used.

Why use SLang?

• Custom .slang file type which is very simple to read and edit
• The .slang file includes comment support--a big advantage over using JSON
• All .slang files are loaded automatically, meaning users can create their own translations that you can easily make viewable in your project without them needing to edit official files
• Smaller overall file size from JSON, if your project has a lot of text this can add up!
• Automatically concatenate variables into strings with a special operator
• All operators can be customized to your liking
