Language not saved in savegame (SOLVED)

[PERXEO]

Hello again. I'm making quite a bit of progress with my game and now I'm on the subject of translations. I have managed to make it possible to change the language, at runtime. However, when I save a game with a certain language, for example English, when I restore the game, the game resumes with the active language, not with the language in which it was recorded. I guess this is normal behaviour, isn't it? But... can you save the language in the game as a data added to the savegame?

You can use a global variable:

Code: ags

// top of global script
string translation;

  // inside handling the change:
  translation = Game.TranslationFilename;

  // inside on_event / eEventRestoreGame
  if (translation != null) Game.ChangeTranslation(translation);

There are number of config settings that are not a part of the save because they do not relate to game progress, but to player's preferences. For example, a player might want to continue same game using another language, or another display mode.
