Hi,
I been searching and couldn't find the answer
Is there a way to make a game in two language? (English and Spanish)
Dialogs and RenPy platform
And allow the user to choose the language they want to use?
I hope someone can help, or point me in the right direction

Yes, you can do that easily (well... depending on the project, it could be not soo easy)
Actually, I'm now doing just that, translating my project from spanish to english.
You could start taking a look here:
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/translation.html
And you can come to the
spanish speaking community on discord and ask for help:

Ok, I already have done that, so now I need to create a function o a command that when you press a button, it will change the lenguaje and restart the game
Something like this:
Code: Select all
def changelang(langtobe):
Language(langtobe)
$ renpy.full_restart()
Because if I do it like this:
Code: Select all
imagebutton auto "images/gui/botones/spanish_%s.png" hovered tt.Action("Juega el juego en español") action Language("spanish")
It doesn't restart the game and it doesn't change the menus or images already displayed
Can some one help me with this?
Also, how do you change it to its original lenguaje?
Like this? is not working for me:
Code: Select all
imagebutton auto "images/gui/botones/english_%s.png" hovered tt.Action("Play the game in english") action Language(None)

As far as I know, this is standard behaviour in renpy. You can change language midgame, but what's already displayed won't change.
Probably it would be a good idea to hide the buttons that change the language when in game, so it can only be done in the main menu, but probably the saved games would still be the same.
The code for changing languages seems right, at least the action part. Anyway, here's the code I use (and it's working), in my case the original is in spanish and the translated is english.
Code: Select all
imagebutton auto "gui/button/prefs/bt_spanish_%s.png":
action Language(None)
imagebutton auto "gui/button/prefs/bt_english_%s.png":
action Language("english")
Where have you placed the buttons? Preferences screen?
