Overview
Minetest can use the gettext library to translate in-game text. To enable internationalization support, the game must be built with the -DENABLE_GETTEXT=1 option to cmake.
Language detection
Minetest detects the current language by inspecting the LANG environment variable. This is not a problem on Unix-based systems (such as GNU/Linux) since the system already defines this variable at login. On Windows platforms, you must define the variable manually[how?]
.
Available translations
The available translations are found in source form in the po/ directory. The cmake detects them, and they are built as part of the build process.
