Language Translations

Overview

The XML translation module allows defining and using translated strings directly within XML files.

It's built on top of LVGL's translation module.

Check it out to learn more about selecting the active language, retrieving translations, and fallback behavior.

Usage

Example XML translation definition:

<translations languages="en de hu">
  <translation tag="dog"       en="The dog"     de="Der Hund"       hu="A kutya"/>
  <translation tag="cat"       en="The cat"     de="Die Katze"      hu="A cica"/>
  <translation tag="snake"     en="A snake"     de="Eine Schlange"  hu="A kígyó"/>
</translations>

In the root <translations> tag, the languages attribute defines the available languages, e.g., languages="en de hu". Language codes are free-form, but ISO-style codes are recommended.

Each <translation> defines a tag, which acts as the lookup key, and attributes for each language.

Translations may be omitted — fallbacks will be applied when needed. See Fallbacks for more details.

To register XML translations:

• lv_xml_register_translation_from_file("path/to/file.xml")

• lv_xml_register_translation_from_data(xml_string)

Multiple XML sources can be registered; they will be merged and searched collectively.
