I'm just translating a game that the developer shared, and I thought I'd make a language selection menu so that I wouldn't have to make two versions of the same game. I created the menu, when starting the game, a directory of files /locales/ is created and in it there are two folders ru and en, with a file named main. json and in this file written only curly braces and nothing else. I can't figure out what to do next. I tried to enter it manually, but it doesn't do anything.

That's why I decided to write to you, because your game uses this plugin.

I'm far from developing, I only do translating games, but the developer doesn't know how to do it either.

These curly braces are the basis of any .json file, it stores the translation with the following structure:

{"key1":"ru_translation1","key2":"ru_translation2"}

in "en" folder, we have same thing:

{"key1":"en_translation1","key2":"en_translation2"}

if you want to have translate, you should put keys in the message in rpg maker. IMPORTANT! Key may be ANYTHING, word, letter, number, it doesn't matter. If you need to translate released game, just use phrase as a key, all you need it puts on begin and end curly braces
