Default Language Setting: Set a default language for your game with the defaultLanguage parameter. Automatic Language File Creation: Automatically create a default language file (en.json) in the data/i18n/ directory upon first load. Language File Sync: Ensure all language files are synchronized with the default language file, adding missing keys...
