Lotro Chann Filter EN Translate

[glafria]

I think the error occours of a little mistake


this should work

L=Turbine.Engine.GetLocale();

At line 1 in the language.lua is used an : before GetLocale

any reference to Turbine.Engine.GetLocale() I've found says it returns the OS locale, admittedly most posts are pretty old so maybe it changed idk.

http://www.lotrointerface.com/wiki/GetLocale

the first link indicates Turbine.Engine.GetLanguage() should be used, and ya, the colon seems like a typo, again i'm not uh fluent in lua, but it did seem to still work.

In the language.lua you found this

L=Turbine.Engine:GetLocale();

and not the correct syntax

L=Turbine.Engine.GetLocale();

both forms work.
I used Locale Emulator to run lotro with Japanese locale and received the same error with both forms.

replacing that line with the following is how it should be, I've tested it with Japanese locale, still downloading French and German languages to test those:

L = Turbine.Engine:GetLanguage();
if L == 0 or L == 2 or L == 268435457 then L = "en";
elseif L == 268435459 then L = "fr";
elseif L == 268435460 then L = "de"; 
elseif L == 268435463 then L = "ru"; end

Code is from Pulse's comment

Turbine.Engine.GetLocale();
Turbine.Engine:GetLocale();

Since the function takes no arguments, the two are effectively the same. In the second case, Turbine.Engine is implicitly passed as the first argument. So, the following two are exactly equivalent:

Turbine.Engine:GetLocale();
Turbine.Engine.GetLocale(Turbine.Engine);

There is a corresponding shorthand that can be used when defining functions. From the Lua 5.1 manual:

The colon syntax is used for defining methods, that is, functions that have an implicit extra parameter self. Thus, the statement

function t.a.b.c:f (params) body end

is syntactic sugar for

function t.a.b.c.f (self, params) body end
