Localization

Add translations directly in any item definition file using <lang>.<field> keys:

en.name    = Iron Helmet
de.name    = Eisenhelm
zh-CN.name = 铁盔

en.flavor  = Heavy, but reliable.
de.flavor  = Schwer, aber zuverlässig.

Language codes accept three formats:

Format	Example
ISO-639-1 short code	en, de, zh-CN
Lowercase full name	german
Full I2 language name	German

Splitting loca into a separate file

Because localization keys are accumulated across all files with the same id, you can keep translations in a dedicated file. This works well for keeping your main item file tidy:

# myHelmet/base.txt
id           = myHelmet
display_name = Iron Helmet
slot_type    = Head
...

# myHelmet/loca.txt
id     = myHelmet
en.name   = Iron Helmet
de.name   = Eisenhelm
en.flavor = Heavy, but reliable.
de.flavor = Schwer, aber zuverlässig.

The loca file doesn't need priority or any non-loca keys: it's merged automatically.
