    end
end

Example usage:
Loading the translation files:
i18n_init.lua

Code:

dofile("i18n.lua")

i18n.register_locale(1, "DE", "Deutsch")
i18n.register_locale(2, "EN", "English")

i18n.set_default_locale(i18n.locale.EN)

i18n.load_file("locale_de.lua", i18n.locale.DE)
i18n.load_file("locale_en.lua", i18n.locale.EN)

locale_de.lua

Code:

return {
    GREET = "Hallo"
}

locale_en.lua

Code:

return {
    GREET = "Hello"
}

Usage for metin2:
questlib:

Code:

function with_player_locale(fnc)
    i18n.with_context_locale(i18n.locale[pc.getf("i18n", "locale")], fnc)
end

Quest:

Code:

quest test begin
state start begin
    when login begin
        with_player_locale(function()
            say(i18n.get("GREET"))
        end)
    end
end
end

Select locale quest:

Code:

quest select_locale begin
state start begin
    when login begin
        with_player_locale(function()
            send_letter(i18n.get("SELECT_LOCALE_LETTER"))
        end)
    end

    when button or info begin
        with_player_locale(function()
            local options = {}
            local option_ids = {}

            for _, locale in ipairs(i18n.locales) do
                table.insert(options, locale.name)
                table.insert(option_ids, locale.id)
            end

            say_title(i18n.get("SELECT_LOCALE_TITLE"))
            say(i18n.get("SELECT_LOCALE_TEXT"))
            local selected_locale_id = select(options)
            pc.setf("i18n", "locale", selected_locale_id)
        end)
    end
end
end
