vigstudio · 2026-07-01T02:17:09Z

Summary

Expand Vietnamese (Vietnamese.json) translations and add native display name "Tiếng Việt"
Add per-language font support via fonts in language JSON (Be Vietnam Pro + Roboto for Vietnamese diacritics)
Fix language file read/write to use UTF-8 (fixes crashes on Windows when editing language packs)
Show native language names in the language picker; refresh text cache when switching languages
Bundle font files under App/PyUI/fonts/ with license texts in Licenses/fonts/

Test plan

Settings → Language → select "Tiếng Việt"; UI strings update
Vietnamese diacritics render correctly in menus, lists, and grid view
Switch back to English; fonts and labels revert correctly
Verify on TrimUI Smart Pro S (1280×720)

Theme font settings were showing raw FontPurpose enum names. Look up labels from fontPurposeSizes in language JSON with readable English defaults. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Thanks for the PR! Unfortunately we need it to be targeted against the Development branch instead of Main.

once you update it I’m happy to merge!

Drop bundled Roboto files that were never referenced by Vietnamese.json, and translate delete ROM/boxart confirmation and success messages.

Update for reviewers

Thanks for asking to retarget this PR to Development — branch is rebased/merged and pushed.

What this PR adds

Vietnamese language pack

Expanded Vietnamese.json with native display name Tiếng Việt
Translations for settings menus, theme labels (incl. vertical carousel from recent Development merge), activity tracker, game system names, and emulator menu option labels (menuOptionDisplays, governorOptions, gameSystems)

i18n infrastructure (PyUI)

UTF-8 read/write for language JSON (fixes editing packs on Windows)
Language.label() / helper methods used across ~30 menu files instead of hardcoded English strings
Language picker shows native names via displayName
Display.clear_text_cache() on language switch so fonts/labels reload

Bundled fonts (Vietnamese diacritics)

App/PyUI/fonts/BeVietnamPro-Regular.ttf + BeVietnamPro-SemiBold.ttf
Referenced from Vietnamese.json → fonts block; loaded via Theme.get_font() → Language.get_font_for_purpose()
English unchanged (no fonts block → theme fonts as before)
License: Licenses/fonts/bevietnampro.txt (SIL OFL)

Latest commit (f83c96e)

Removed unused Roboto .ttf files (~1 MB) — they were bundled but never referenced in Vietnamese.json
Localized ROM/boxart delete confirmation + success messages in game_config_menu.py

Merge status

Target: Development
Tested locally: no merge conflicts with current upstream/Development
GitHub shows mergeable: clean

Suggested device test (TrimUI Smart Pro S)

Settings → Language → Tiếng Việt — UI strings + diacritics in menus/grid
Switch back to English — theme fonts/labels revert
Game config menu → delete ROM/boxart prompts in Vietnamese
Spot-check theme system-select settings after vertical carousel merge

Happy to adjust anything before merge. Thanks again for reviewing!

Route spruce-config category labels, option names, descriptions, and values through Language helpers, and localize power/WiFi/ROM/theme prompts still shown in English.

Finish remaining user-visible English in box art download flow, ROM count labels, activity duration text, and related WiFi helper messages.

Load Language right after config init so per-language fonts are available when Theme and Display first render, avoiding mixed startup state on non-English locales. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Move Display and Language imports back into methods so theme loading does not crash before the main menu opens.
