🌍 Welcome to the documentation for GEL - Godot Easy Localization!

GEL (Godot Easy Localization) is a node-based translation system for the Godot Engine that simplifies localization by allowing direct text management within the scene. Unlike traditional methods that rely on Project Settings, GEL provides a more intuitive and flexible approach to handling translations dynamically.

Key Features

• Node-Based Translation → Manage translations directly in the scene tree.
• Multi-Language Support → Easily switch between languages at runtime.
• Dynamic Text Formatting → Use properties from other nodes to format text.
• Conditional Translations → Display different translations based on in-game conditions.
• Targeted Property Translation → Apply translations to any property of any node.
