Translating to Japanese / Korean

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi, I’ve translated my app to french,german and portugese, but now I want to try translating to Japanese and Korean.

Does anyone know what to use for the font?  And should I have conditional logic that says something like:

If latin based language use font A, if Japanese use font B, if Korean use font C?

Thanks, Greg

I’m still trying to figure this out,

If I have an Asian translation, can I just use system.nativefont and assume it will display correctly?

This issue is pretty confusing, if anyone has any ideas feel free to offer a suggestion :slight_smile:

–>  the native way on Android to handle font families is by using xml configuration files to set priority. For example, in fallback_fonts.xml I would place the MTLmr3m.ttf (Japanese Fonts) above DroidSansFallback.ttf and the Japanese glyphs would be rendered from the Japanese font file.
