How do I do language settings?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Im making a game and I want to add 2 languages to it. Where the player can change via in-game settings.

I wanted to know how language settings work. If I should use module scripts, arrays or something like that.

You don’t need to write another module for multiple languages. There is a Built-in Multi-Language System that Roblox will automatically detect.
You can manage the translation in the Translation Portal

If you want to use your module, here’s an example of how it works.

Here an example of i18n Modules that I wrote, which are very simple, and very useless:

Structure:

i18n (ModuleScript)
- Languages (Folder)
 - en_US
 - en_UK

i18n

local i18n_module= {}

function i18n:New(language: string)
  local LocaleModule = script.Languages:FindFirstChild(language)
  if not LocaleModule then error("Language Not Found") end
  local Locale = require(LocaleModule)
  local i18n = {}
  function i18n:get(locale_string: string)
    return Locale[locale_string] or locale_string
  end
  return i18n
end
return i18n_module

en_US, en_UK

return {
 ["Example Text"] = "Example Text"
}
