Hi David. You're reinventing the wheel. I don't say that it is bad thing because your solution can bring something new. Look at standard i18n implementation included in Java: ResourceBundle MessageFormat Support for Eclipse IDE I do Java as my main work for quite long but I'm fairly new to libGDX. Standard i18n can be maybe overkill for simple games. Maybe there're some problems to run it under all of libGDX backends but it should be possible. Inspire yourself by all handy features of standard i18n (UTF-8, custom file formats, custom loaders, formats, plural forms etc.)

Thanks a lot for your help, that, and doing a little bit of further research I’ve managed to get UTF-8 working with my system. I’ve basically replaced libgdx’s XmlReader for the Java classic DOM.

You can get the new version using the same link . I’m working on multi-line strings now [1]

ok .. I've read some tutorials to learn how to parse XML files on android. Obviously it's possible to use SAX or DOM. I've replaced your loadLanguage-function with an UTF-8 compatible version and it works fine on my device. Maybe the following code isn't perfect and could be improved ... usually i'm coding in C# or C++ ;-)


import java.io.InputStream;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;

import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;

import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;


public boolean loadLanguage(String languageName) 
     {    	 
    	 try 
    	 {
    		 DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    		 
    		 DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();    		     		     		     		 
    		 
    		 InputStream is = Gdx.files.internal(LANGUAGES_FILE).read();
    		     		 
             Document dom = builder.parse(is);
             Element root = dom.getDocumentElement();
    		 
             NodeList languages = root.getElementsByTagName("language");                                              
                      
             // Iterate through every language to fetch the one we're interested in
             for (int i = 0; i < languages.getLength(); ++i) 
             {
            	 Node languageElement = languages.item(i);            	 
            	 
            	 NamedNodeMap attributeMap = languageElement.getAttributes();
            	 
            	// If it's the language we're looking for
            	 if(attributeMap.getNamedItem("name").getTextContent().equals(languageName))            		             	             	                                
                 {
                	 // Empty language
                     language.clear();
                                      
                     // Fetch every string for that language
                     NodeList languageElementNodes = languageElement.getChildNodes();                     
                                      
                     for (int j = 0; j < languageElementNodes.getLength(); ++j) 
                     {
                    	 Node stringNode = languageElementNodes.item(j);
                    	 
                    	 if(stringNode.getNodeName().equals("string"))
                    	 {
                    		 NamedNodeMap attributes = stringNode.getAttributes();
                    		                     		 
                    		 language.put(attributes.getNamedItem("key").getTextContent(), (attributes.getNamedItem("value").getTextContent()));                    		 
                    	 }                    	 
                     }
                     
                     return true;
                 }
             }                     
         }
    	 catch (Exception e) 
    	 {
    		 System.out.println("Error loading languages file " + LANGUAGES_FILE + " " + e.getMessage());
         }

I’m also fairly new to Java. I was looking for a way to localize my libgdx game and your implementation works very good except of the missing UTF-8 support.

I think the problem is that the libgdx XmlReader class only support 8 bit character encoding. I think it should work with the Java XMLReader class, but I’m not sure how to use it.

here is an example:

I’m fairly new to Java, what would I need to include/modify to add UTF-8 support?

Thanks!

Unfortunately that implementation does not support UTF-8

You will need to install a Subversion client like Tortoise [1] and checkout the project from here [2].
