# What Is Localization⤶
⤶
Instead of doing `label.Text = "Hello World"`, you do `label.Text = "#helloworld";`. This way you can use the localization system to change `#helloworld` into `こんにちは世界` if they have their language set to Japanese.⤶
⤶
# Tokens⤶
⤶
When doing UI stuff if you set a value to a string starting with `#` - it'll become a token, which means it'll look for its real value in the localization system.⤶
⤶
This works both when creating Panels using code and using templates.⤶
⤶
# Definitions⤶
⤶
To create your definitions create a folder in the root of your addon called `.localization`.⤶
⤶
Then inside that create a folder for the language. `en` is English. Then create a Json file inside that, which will hold your tokens.⤶

# Example⤶
⤶
Filename: `.localization\en\sandbox.json`⤶
⤶
```⤶
{⤶
"spawnmenu.props" : "models",⤶
"spawnmenu.entities" : "entities",⤶
"spawnmenu.cloudmodels": "asset.party",⤶
"spawnmenu.tools": "tools",⤶
"spawnmenu.utility": "utility"⤶
}⤶
```⤶
⤶
Then our code can do something like this..⤶
⤶
```csharp⤶
Add.Button( "#spawnmenu.utility" );⤶
```⤶
⤶
# Languages⤶
⤶
For now there are two languages. English (en) and Pirate (en-pt). We'll add more languages on request and over time.
