[1.7.10] Why is this lang file not working?

[TheDogePwner]

Hey,

 

I have a lang file in my assets (assets/<modid>/lang/en_US.lang). It looks like this:

language.name=English
language.region=US
language.code=en_US

item.RubyGem.name=Ruby Gem

 

Where RubyGem is the localized name of the item. But in-game, its name appears as "item.RubyGem.name". Why is this?

 

Thanks, TDP

Good evening TheDogePwner,

 

Are you sure the unlocalized name of your item is RubyGem ? If it isn't, it will not work. You could still put a debug message into your code, when your item is loading for example, to check it !

 

Furthermore, I've never seen any properties into languages files like language.xxx, try to run it without these three lines to check if it works without them !

EDIT : it seems that it works for me, my bad, never seen that !

 

Also, take a look at this useful topic about localization, by Jabelar !

Thanks for your reply, Major Squirrel. It guided me in the right direction and I have now found out my problem: When I was registering the item I was using the wrong name. Thanks for your help, though!
