Localization

filudi.com runs in several languages; every site on the catalog has its own. The hub passes the site’s locale to your game, so a player who reads the page in French gets your game in French when you have it. The reference is i18n.

What the hub translates

The game’s page: your titles, descriptions and categories, written per locale in the console’s Settings screen. Each site writes its own texts; the catalog never shares a description between sites. The hub also formats the leaderboard, the dates and the time meta. None of this is in your bundle.

What the game translates

Everything drawn inside the frame: menus, tutorial, messages, the _summary.line of your save. A game with no translation runs in its own language on every locale; nothing breaks.

Strings per locale

JavaScript TypeScript

const strings = {
  en: { play: 'Play', best: 'Best', again: 'Tap to run again' },
  fr: { play: 'Jouer', best: 'Record', again: 'Touchez pour rejouer' },
};
const language = (tag) => tag.split('-')[0];
let t = strings[language(sdk.i18n.locale())] ?? strings.en;
sdk.i18n.on('change', (locale) => {
  t = strings[language(locale)] ?? strings.en;
  redrawMenus();
});

type Strings = { play: string; best: string; again: string };
const strings: Record<string, Strings> = {
  en: { play: 'Play', best: 'Best', again: 'Tap to run again' },
  fr: { play: 'Jouer', best: 'Record', again: 'Touchez pour rejouer' },
};
const language = (tag: string): string => tag.split('-')[0] ?? 'en';
let t: Strings = strings[language(sdk.i18n.locale())] ?? strings.en;
sdk.i18n.on('change', (locale: string) => {
  t = strings[language(locale)] ?? strings.en;
  redrawMenus();
});

The locale per host

Host	Source	Changes while running
filudi.com	The site’s locale in filudi:init; filudi:locale when the player switches	Yes
CrazyGames	user.systemInfo.locale	No
Playgama	bridge.platform.language	No
Poki	None: navigator.language	No
mock	mock.locale, else navigator.language	No

init({ locale }) overrides every source; use it for a language picker inside the game and keep the choice in your save.

Fonts and text

Fonts load from the bundle only. A font with the glyphs of every language you ship is one more file in the zip; a Google Fonts link is blocked by the CSP. Text drawn on a canvas does not reflow: leave room for French and German, which run a third longer than English.

Events

sdk.track() carries the locale with every event, and the console splits statistics by locale. Keep event names in English and snake_case whatever the player’s language.
