InstanceLocaleLoader

Owns the lazy per-locale loading state for an instance-decoded JSONTranslator (a folder of per-locale JSON StringValues / ModuleScripts): which locales are available, which have already been loaded, and the accumulated entry lookup.

Decodes and writes a locale's entries to the TranslatorService only the first time that locale is needed. The service is resolved from the ServiceBag passed to the constructor, so callers never have to thread a writer through each load call.

Functions​

new​

</>
InstanceLocaleLoader.new(
serviceBag: ServiceBag,--

provides the TranslatorService writes land on

translatorName: string,
sourceLocaleId: string,--

always loaded, the fallback for every key

folder: Instance--

holds the per-locale StringValue/ModuleScript children

) → InstanceLocaleLoader

LoadSourceLocale​

</>
InstanceLocaleLoader.LoadSourceLocale(self: InstanceLocaleLoader) → ()

Loads the source locale. Always call this first -- it establishes the Source/Context that other locales' values merge onto, and it is the ultimate fallback for every key.

LoadAllLocales​

</>
InstanceLocaleLoader.LoadAllLocales(self: InstanceLocaleLoader) → ()

Loads every available locale file. Used off the client, where there is no single target locale to narrow to.

LoadLocale​

</>
InstanceLocaleLoader.LoadLocale(
localeId: string--

the target locale

) → ()

Loads every available locale file that shares the target's language (e.g. for "es-mx": both es and es-mx; for "fr-fr": every fr-* file), so a regional player gets the universal-language strings and same-language siblings as fallbacks before dropping to the source. The source locale is ensured first. Idempotent -- a file already loaded is never decoded or written again -- and returns nothing, since the caller does not (and should not) care which files it touched.
