Functions
get_string
Localizes a given string to the current language, i.e. Data:Lang_en.json for english.
Parameters
- key - Key string to localize
- lang_code_override (OPTIONAL) - Overrides the current language to a specific language code
- fallback_str (OPTIONAL) - Passing
en
causes it to return the english localization if it can't be localized to the current language. Passing any other string causes it to return that string if it can't be localized. Use this very often as some keys are not yet localized in every language by the game. - remove_var_index (OPTIONAL) - Removes %variables% from the resulting string. -1 also removes the character prefixing %variables%, while 1 removes the postfixed character, and 0 removes only the %variables%.
NOTE: Optional parameters are ideally named when not all parameters are provided, though named parameters can only be passed by invoke, and not internal lua calls.

Examples for remove_var_index
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|Citadel_HeroBuilds_DefaultHeroBuild}}
Default %hero_name% Build
TODO: Debug why is =0 still removing that extra space? Doesn't matter yet I suppose, no use cases for 0 yet
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|Citadel_HeroBuilds_DefaultHeroBuild|remove_var_index=0}}
Default Build
{{#invoke:Lang|get_string|Citadel_HeroBuilds_DefaultHeroBuild|remove_var_index=-1}}
Default Build
When calling by internal modules, the parameters cannot be named, and therefore have to be in order. Unused parameters before the last used parameter should be nil
. Such as, .get_string('hero_atlas', nil, 'en')
search_string
Searches for the unlocalized key corresponding to a given english string, then localizes it to the current language. NOTE: Use sparingly, always use get_string instead where plausible, as it has time complexity O(1) compared to search_string's O(10,000).
Parameters
- string - English string to search for
