Localize 2.0.0

This major update introduces a complete architectural overhaul, adding support for advanced string parsing (tags/recursion), dynamic font assets, and asynchronous file handling.

What's New

Core Features

• Multi-Page Sheet Support: The system can now load multiple individual pages (GIDs) from multiple Google Sheet URLs, allowing for better organization of large localization projects.
• Advanced String Parsing:
  • Tags: Inject custom styles or values using {tag:tag_name}.
  • Recursion: Reference other translation keys within a string using {key:npc_name}.
• Plurals & Ordinals: Added native support for language-aware pluralization (e.g., "1 Coin" vs "10 Coins") and ordinal parsing (e.g., "1st", "2nd").
• Robust Fallback System: Keys with missing translations will now automatically use the translation of the fallback language. If the fallback is also missing, the raw key is returned.

Configuration & Setup

• Internal Sheet Configuration: Introduced special configuration rows within the CSV file to manage language metadata directly:
  • LOC_LANGNAME: Define a full display name (e.g., "English") for UI generation, replacing raw locale codes.
  • LOC_FONTNAME: Define a custom font asset, external file path, or string name per language.
  • LOC_PRODUCTION: Flag languages as ENABLED or DISABLED to include/exclude them from executable builds.
• Environment-Specific Updates: Added configuration options to restrict file updates to the Development Environment only, preventing accidental overwrites in production builds.

Improvements & Tools

• New Debug Interface: A completely redesigned, functional debug overlay (ImGui) for inspecting loaded files, forcing language switches, and monitoring memory usage.
• Enhanced Customization: Added new settings for configuring trace log verbosity and CSV delimiters.
• Asynchronous I/O: File loading and saving is now fully asynchronous, preventing game freezes during file operations.
  • Note: CSV parsing currently remains synchronous on the main thread, with plans for asynchronous parsing in future updates.
