Multi-language voice

[Eyzi]

Hi. I'm wondering what can I do to allow voice for multiple languages. Sorry if this was posted somewhere here on the forums or the documentations but I found nothing about this.

Ren'Py translation allow the files to be translates, which means if you put the other language voices in their translation folder. Example:

None language: "game/voices/line0001.ogg"
Japanese language: "game/tl/voices/japanese/line0001.ogg"

In theory, it should automatically play the translation voices when player choose Japanese as their prefer language.

But that would disrupted the possibility of player choosing English as dialogue and UI and want just Japanese voice, however. Perhaps will have to make a function that supply the path to the voice files depending on which voice language is choosen?

Here is a sample code, have not test it, just a rough idea:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def get_voice(voice_id):
        
        $ path = ""
        
        if _preferences.language == "None":
            path = "en"
        elif _preferences.language == "Japanese":
            path = "jp"
        
        if path != "":
            path = path + "_line" + voice_id + ".ogg"
            
        return path

label start:

    voice get_voice("0001")
    "Hello world."

Hey. Thanks for the reply. That's what I was looking for. But will it still work if say the players change their preferred voice language midway through? I will try and test that later. Thank you!
