Change Project Language?

I was using tomoaky's platformer plugin project as a base for a platformer game, but it makes the entire project Japanese (my editor is already in English), including the Name Input Screen. Is there a way to change the project's default language so that the Name Input Screen only uses English characters instead of Japanese?

no

you can either make an english project and add the changes there, or you can manually translate every entry in the database.

EDIT: if this is only about the name input command there might be a way to switch that by minor plugin or editing of the core files

@Andar Well, I'd try to do an English change, but when I transfer the plugins over, I either get "metadata" errors or it forces the project back into Japanese. And the database isn't the language problem- the language problem lies with Name Input Processing.

EDIT: I've looked at the core files in Sublime Text, but can't find where to change the language.

you don'tf change the language in the core files - there might be a setting there (there was one in Ace) that tells the name input command which keymap to use, but that is not changing the language.

and the metadata errors are because you'll need to the plugin settings and their notetags transferred at the same time if going that route.

@Andar I think I found it in rpg_windows.js...

I think the language force was caused by copying this version of rpg_windows.js to the new English project.

During a playtest, if you press F8 to open the console then type in:
What does it give you?

That info is stored in the System.json file and it is used to read the language.

@Aloe Guvner Doing that displays "ja_JP". Do I simply replace "ja_JP" with the "en_US" I found in the System.json file of one of my English projects?

Exactly. I guess you might have started with a Japanese sample project? If you change the 'locale' in System.json to "en_US", your issue will be fixed.

@Aloe Guvner Yeah, I did. And changing it to "en_US" did it! Thank you.
