Localization in Godot 4.3+

All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs; GDScript first, then C#.

Related skills: godot-ui for Control nodes and theme management, save-load for persisting language settings, responsive-ui for layout adjustments per locale.

1. Core Concepts

How Godot Localization Works

Wrap all user-facing strings in tr() — Godot's translation function
Create translation files (CSV or PO) mapping keys to translated strings
Import translation files as Translation resources
Switch locale at runtime via TranslationServer.set_locale()

All Control nodes with text, tooltip_text, or placeholder_text properties auto-translate when the value matches a translation key.

Translation Key Strategies

Strategy	Example Key	Pros	Cons
Semantic keys	`MENU_START_GAME`	Clear intent, easy to find	Needs a default language fallback
English-as-key	`Start Game`	Readable code, no mapping file for English	Breaks if English text changes

Recommendation: Use semantic keys (MENU_START_GAME) for production; English-as-key only for prototypes or solo projects.

2. Translation Files

CSV Format

The simplest format. First column is the key, subsequent columns are locale codes.

keys,en,cs,de,ja
MENU_START,Start Game,Začít hru,Spiel starten,ゲームスタート
MENU_OPTIONS,Options,Nastavení,Optionen,オプション
MENU_QUIT,Quit,Ukončit,Beenden,終了
PLAYER_HEALTH,Health: %d,Zdraví: %d,Gesundheit: %d,体力: %d
ITEM_COLLECTED,%s collected!,%s sebráno!,%s gesammelt!,%sを入手！

Save as translations.csv in your project. Godot auto-detects the format on import.

Import settings (Import dock):

Delimiter: Comma (default) or Tab
Translations section: enable/disable individual locales

PO Format (Gettext)

Industry-standard format, preferred by translation teams and tools like Poedit, Weblate, Crowdin.

Create a POT template (messages.pot):

msgid "MENU_START"
msgstr ""

msgid "MENU_OPTIONS"
msgstr ""

msgid "MENU_QUIT"
msgstr ""

msgid "PLAYER_HEALTH"
msgstr ""

Create locale files (e.g., cs.po for Czech):

msgid "MENU_START"
msgstr "Začít hru"

msgid "MENU_OPTIONS"
msgstr "Nastavení"

msgid "MENU_QUIT"
msgstr "Ukončit"

msgid "PLAYER_HEALTH"
msgstr "Zdraví: %d"

Registering Translations

Project Settings → Localization → Translations → Add... → select your .csv or .po files.

Or register at runtime:

var translation := load("res://translations/cs.po") as Translation
TranslationServer.add_translation(translation)

var translation = GD.Load<Translation>("res://translations/cs.po");
TranslationServer.AddTranslation(translation);

⚠️ Changed in Godot 4.7: OptimizedTranslation.generate() now returns bool (was void). GDScript- and C#-source-compatible, but binary-incompatible — recompile precompiled C# plugins calling it. See the 4.7 migration guide.

POT Generation Hooks (Godot 4.7+)

A custom EditorTranslationParserPlugin can override _customize_strings() — called once after all files are parsed during POT generation — to add or remove entries from the final extracted-string list:

@tool
extends EditorTranslationParserPlugin

func _customize_strings(strings: Array[PackedStringArray]) -> Array[PackedStringArray]:
    strings.append(PackedStringArray(["Test 1", "context", "test 1 plurals", "test 1 comment"]))
    # Drop internal strings that begin with "$".
    return strings.filter(func(s): return not s[0].begins_with("$"))

#if TOOLS
using System.Linq;
using Godot;

public partial class CommentAwareParser : EditorTranslationParserPlugin
{
    public override Godot.Collections.Array<string[]> _CustomizeStrings(Godot.Collections.Array<string[]> strings)
    {
        strings.Add(new[] { "Test 1", "context", "test 1 plurals", "test 1 comment" });
        // Drop internal strings that begin with "$".
        return new Godot.Collections.Array<string[]>(strings.Where(s => !s[0].StartsWith("$")));
    }
}
#endif

Godot 4.7+: The POT generator also extracts Control.accessibility_name and accessibility_description, making accessibility strings translatable without manual listing. (GH-117134)

3. Using tr() in Code

GDScript

# Basic translation
var label_text: String = tr("MENU_START")  # "Start Game" or translated equivalent

# With format arguments
var health_text: String = tr("PLAYER_HEALTH") % current_health
# "Health: 85" or "Zdraví: 85"

# With string arguments
var collected_text: String = tr("ITEM_COLLECTED") % item_name
# "Sword collected!" or "Meč sebráno!"

# Pluralization (Godot 4.x)
var count := 5
var msg: String = tr_n("ONE_ENEMY", "MANY_ENEMIES", count)
# Needs plural forms in the translation: PO, or CSV `?plural` rows on Godot 4.6+ (§10)

C#

string labelText = Tr("MENU_START");
string healthText = string.Format(Tr("PLAYER_HEALTH"), currentHealth);

// Pluralization
string msg = TrN("ONE_ENEMY", "MANY_ENEMIES", count);

Automatic Control Translation

Label, Button, RichTextLabel, and other Control nodes auto-translate their text property when it matches a translation key. Set the text to the key:

Button.text = "MENU_START"   → displays "Start Game" (en) or "Začít hru" (cs)

Tip: To disable automatic translation on a specific Control, set auto_translate_mode to DISABLED.

Godot 4.7+: Control.translation_context: StringName sets a per-control translation context, used both to translate displayed text and to generate translation templates — the property equivalent of tr()'s context argument (C#: TranslationContext). (GH-115340)

4. Switching Locale at Runtime

GDScript

# Switch language
func set_language(locale_code: String) -> void:
    TranslationServer.set_locale(locale_code)
    # All Control nodes with translation keys update automatically

# Get current locale
var current: String = TranslationServer.get_locale()  # e.g. "en", "cs", "de"

# Get available locales
var locales: PackedStringArray = TranslationServer.get_loaded_locales()

C#

public void SetLanguage(string localeCode)
{
    TranslationServer.SetLocale(localeCode);
}

string current = TranslationServer.GetLocale();

extends Control

@onready var language_button: OptionButton = %LanguageButton

var _locales: Array[Dictionary] = [
    {"code": "en", "name": "English"},
    {"code": "cs", "name": "Čeština"},
    {"code": "de", "name": "Deutsch"},
    {"code": "ja", "name": "日本語"},
]

func _ready() -> void:
    for locale in _locales:
        language_button.add_item(locale["name"])

    # Set current selection
    var current_locale: String = TranslationServer.get_locale()
    for i in _locales.size():
        if _locales[i]["code"] == current_locale:
            language_button.selected = i
            break

    language_button.item_selected.connect(_on_language_selected)

func _on_language_selected(index: int) -> void:
    TranslationServer.set_locale(_locales[index]["code"])
    # Save preference — SettingsManager is a user-created autoload (see save-load skill)
    SettingsManager.set_setting("general", "locale", _locales[index]["code"])

5. Right-to-Left (RTL) Support

Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian need layout_direction on Controls (LOCALE auto-follows the current locale), structured_text_type so URLs and paths do not fully reverse, and a font covering the script — Godot's default font does not. Re-apply layout direction whenever the locale changes. TranslationServer has no signals — override _notification and watch for NOTIFICATION_TRANSLATION_CHANGED (defined on MainLoop, inherited by Node). Since you never subscribe, there is no handler to disconnect.

Full recipes, per-control property table, BBCode for mixed direction, and the C# LocaleAwarePanel: references/rtl-support.md

6. Locale-Aware Formatting

GDScript has no locale-aware number or date formatting — "%d" % 1234567 is always 1234567, so you group digits by hand. C# does have it: look up a CultureInfo from TranslationServer.GetLocale() (swap _ for -) and use ToString("N"/"C"/"d", culture).

8. Common Pitfalls

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Translation key shows instead of text	Translation file not registered in Project Settings	Add to Project Settings → Localization → Translations
Text doesn't update on locale switch	Using string literals instead of `tr()`	Wrap all user-facing strings in `tr()`
Label shows key after scene change	Translation resource not loaded yet	Register translations in Project Settings (not at runtime)
RTL text renders LTR	`layout_direction` not set	Set to `RTL` or `LOCALE` on root Control
Font doesn't display characters	Missing Unicode range in font	Import a font covering the target script (Noto Sans recommended)
Pluralization doesn't work with CSV	Before Godot 4.6 CSV has no plural forms; on 4.6+ the `?plural` column or continuation rows are missing	On 4.6+ add a `?plural` column (§10); before 4.6 use PO
`%s` in translation shows literal `%s`	Using `tr()` result as key instead of formatting it	Use `tr("KEY") % value`, not `tr("KEY" % value)`

9. Editor Locale Preview (Godot 4.5+)

Godot 4.5 adds a Preview Translation submenu to the 2D editor's View menu: the editor viewport re-renders in any loaded locale, so you catch overflow from longer translations and verify RTL layout without entering Play mode. Editor-only — it does not affect exported builds.

Steps and QA benefits: references/editor-preview.md

10. CSV Plural and Context Support (Godot 4.6+)

Godot 4.6 extends CSV translation with two optional header columns — ?context and ?plural — plus an optional ?pluralrule row, bringing context disambiguation and plurals (previously PO-only) to CSV. Extra plural forms go on continuation rows with an empty key, so languages with 3+ forms (Russian, Polish, Arabic) work too. Automatic Control translation skips these rows — call tr() / tr_n() yourself.

Column reference, example CSV, and tr() / tr_n() usage (GDScript + C#): references/csv-plural-context.md.

11. Implementation Checklist

All user-facing strings use tr() (or are set as translation keys on Control nodes)

## 2. Translation Files

### CSV Format

The simplest format. First column is the key, subsequent columns are locale codes.

```csv
keys,en,cs,de,ja
MENU_START,Start Game,Začít hru,Spiel starten,ゲームスタート
MENU_OPTIONS,Options,Nastavení,Optionen,オプション
MENU_QUIT,Quit,Ukončit,Beenden,終了
PLAYER_HEALTH,Health: %d,Zdraví: %d,Gesundheit: %d,体力: %d

```

Save as `translations.csv` in your project. Godot auto-detects the format on import.

**Import settings** (Import dock):
- **Delimiter**: Comma (default) or Tab
- **Translations** section: enable/disable individual locales

### PO Format (Gettext)

Industry-standard format, preferred by translation teams and tools like Poedit, Weblate, Crowdin.

**Create a POT template** (`messages.pot`):

```
msgid "MENU_START"
msgstr ""

msgid "MENU_OPTIONS"
msgstr ""

msgid "MENU_QUIT"
msgstr ""

msgid "PLAYER_HEALTH"
msgstr ""
```

**Create locale files** (e.g., `cs.po` for Czech):

```
msgid "MENU_START"
msgstr "Začít hru"

msgid "MENU_OPTIONS"
msgstr "Nastavení"

msgid "MENU_QUIT"
msgstr "Ukončit"

msgid "PLAYER_HEALTH"
msgstr "Zdraví: %d"
```

### Registering Translations

**Project Settings → Localization → Translations → Add...** → select your `.csv` or `.po` files.

Or register at runtime:

```gdscript
var translation := load("res://translations/cs.po") as Translation
TranslationServer.add_translation(translation)
```

```csharp
var translation = GD.Load<Translation>("res://translations/cs.po");
TranslationServer.AddTranslation(translation);
```

> ⚠️ **Changed in Godot 4.7:** `OptimizedTranslation.generate()` now returns `bool` (was `void`). GDScript- and C#-source-compatible, but binary-incompatible — recompile precompiled C# plugins calling it. See the [4.7 migration guide](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/migrating/upgrading_to_godot_4.7.html).

### POT Generation Hooks (Godot 4.7+)

A custom `EditorTranslationParserPlugin` can override `_customize_strings()` — called once after all files are parsed during POT generation — to add or remove entries from the final extracted-string list:

```gdscript
@tool
extends EditorTranslationParserPlugin

func _customize_strings(strings: Array[PackedStringArray]) -> Array[PackedStringArray]:
    strings.append(PackedStringArray(["Test 1", "context", "test 1 plurals", "test 1 comment"]))
    # Drop internal strings that begin with "$".
    return strings.filter(func(s): return not s[0].begins_with("$"))
```

```csharp
#if TOOLS
using System.Linq;
using Godot;

public partial class CommentAwareParser : EditorTranslationParserPlugin
{
    public override Godot.Collections.Array<string[]> _CustomizeStrings(Godot.Collections.Array<string[]> strings)
    {
        strings.Add(new[] { "Test 1", "context", "test 1 plurals", "test 1 comment" });
        // Drop internal strings that begin with "$".
        return new Godot.Collections.Array<string[]>(strings.Where(s => !s[0].StartsWith("$")));
    }
}
#endif
```

> **Godot 4.7+:** The POT generator also extracts `Control.accessibility_name` and `accessibility_description`, making accessibility strings translatable without manual listing. ([GH-117134](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/117134))

## 3. Using tr() in Code

### GDScript

```gdscript
# Basic translation
var label_text: String = tr("MENU_START")  # "Start Game" or translated equivalent

# With format arguments
var health_text: String = tr("PLAYER_HEALTH") % current_health
# "Health: 85" or "Zdraví: 85"

# With string arguments
var collected_text: String = tr("ITEM_COLLECTED") % item_name
# "Sword collected!" or "Meč sebráno!"

# Pluralization (Godot 4.x)
var count := 5
var msg: String = tr_n("ONE_ENEMY", "MANY_ENEMIES", count)
# Needs plural forms in the translation: PO, or CSV `?plural` rows on Godot 4.6+ (§10)
```

### C#

```csharp
string labelText = Tr("MENU_START");
string healthText = string.Format(Tr("PLAYER_HEALTH"), currentHealth);

// Pluralization
string msg = TrN("ONE_ENEMY", "MANY_ENEMIES", count);
```

### Automatic Control Translation

`Label`, `Button`, `RichTextLabel`, and other Control nodes auto-translate their `text` property when it matches a translation key. Set the text to the key:

```
Button.text = "MENU_START"   → displays "Start Game" (en) or "Začít hru" (cs)

```

### C#

```csharp
public void SetLanguage(string localeCode)
