Toggling between english and spanish menus?

[sasquatchii]

Hello,

I'm currently working on coding a menu for my game. I want to give players the option to toggle between english and spanish within the navigation menu. So basically, if they click "english" or "spanish" - all of the buttons in the menu will change to one or the other. Below is the UI design I created for the navigation menu to show roughly what I hope to accomplish:




I guess I'm wondering, what would be the best way to go about doing this? I have never done anything like this before in Ren'Py and I don't even know where to start.

Here is the code I'm using for my navigation (english) menu in Ren'Py, mostly with image maps and hotspots:

Code: Select all

creen navigation():

    imagemap:

            ground "gui/navigation-english-inactive.png"
            hover "gui/navigation-english-active.png"
            selected_idle "gui/navigation-english-active.png"


            hotspot (76, 84, 377, 92) action MainMenu()
            hotspot (504, 84, 331, 92) action ShowMenu('preferences')
            hotspot (891, 84, 253, 92) action ShowMenu('save')
            hotspot (1189, 84, 253, 92) action ShowMenu('load')
            hotspot (1490, 84, 295, 92) action Return()


style navigation_button is gui_button
style navigation_button_text is gui_button_text

style navigation_button:
    size_group "navigation"
    properties gui.button_properties("navigation_button")

style navigation_button_text:
    properties gui.button_text_properties("navigation_button")

Any ideas or help would be much appreciated! Thanks for reading

What you can do is to have a variable, let's call it 'lang' that you can set to 'eng' or 'span'.

If the player clicks the button "English", action SetVariable("lang", "eng")
If the player clicks the button "Spanish", action SetVariable("lang", "span")

Whenever there is a place in the code where something could be presented either in English or Spanish, use an if/elif statement

Code: Select all

if lang=="eng":
    --- do the English stuff ---
elif lang=="span":   
    --- do the Spanish stuff ---
