Language stuff

[t0stiman]

• added ability to translate station names
• fixed "Failed to find locale language" warning (it reported the wrong language)
• added more languages and credited the translators

Fixes #107

How are map-specific locales supposed to be created? I don't see anything changed on the editor side.

What was this bump necessary for?

1>Locale.cs(30,105): Error CS8370 : Feature 'target-typed object creation' is not available in C# 7.3. Please use language version 9.0 or greater.

private static ReadOnlyDictionary<string, Dictionary<string, string>> mapSpecificTranslations = new (new Dictionary<string, Dictionary<string, string>>());

[Insprill]

In that case, simply don't use the new style of constructor. We should take a C# version bump more seriously and do a proper upgrade that takes advantage of it, but not now.

Create locale.csv in the same folder as info,json of the map. For example:

locale.csv

You aren't supposed to ever create the zip manually though, when you build the map from the editor that should be the zip you distribute. There needs to be good editor tooling for creating localizations.

How much work would be involved with switching to the localization library most other mods now use? I think that would be a better route than continuing to reinvent the wheel, assuming it covers all our needs.

To read the localised strings added with Language Helper, it's the same method as reading vanilla keys (Localisation.L(key)).

Wherever you need it, add a TranslationData field, which will handle the language -> string values. Key is defined separately, which can keep the current key generation method. Be aware that unity cannot serialise that custom class in an asset bundle so you should convert it to an xml or json and then reassign later.

As for adding the strings to the game, you create a new TranslationInjector(sourceId), then call AddTranslations(key, data) on that instance. It also includes ways to load a .csv directly.
