Localization: Token-Based Multi-Language UI Text in s&box

s&box supports localization through token-based string replacement. Any displayed string beginning with # is recognized as a localization token and replaced with the corresponding value from the user's language file.

Token Format

In s&box Razor UI, use tokens prefixed with #:

<label>#spawnmenu.props</label>

Language Files

Create JSON files in Localization/{language-code}/ directory:

Filename: Localization/en/sandbox.json

{
    "menu.helloworld": "Hello World",
    "spawnmenu.props": "Models",
    "spawnmenu.tools": "Tools",
    "spawnmenu.cloud": "sbox.game"
}

Supported Languages

s&box supports 30 languages including: English (en), French (fr), German (de), Spanish (es), Portuguese-Brazil (pt-br), Russian (ru), Japanese (ja), Korean (ko), Simplified Chinese (zh-cn), Traditional Chinese (zh-tw), Arabic (ar), Polish (pl), Turkish (tr), Italian (it), Dutch (nl), Swedish (sv), Finnish (fi), Norwegian (no), Danish (da), Czech (cs), Hungarian (hu), Romanian (ro), Bulgarian (bg), Greek (el), Thai (th), Ukrainian (uk), Vietnamese (vn), and Pirate English (en-pt).

The system automatically selects the correct language file based on the user's Steam language setting.
