TTT: Adding Translations to an existing language

[iViscosity]

So I'm currently working on a project that adds more roles to TTT, and I'm trying to figure out how add custom translation fields to the LANG.

For example, TTT's flaregun file has this:

Code: Lua

1. SWEP.EquipMenuData = {
2.         type = "item_weapon",
3.         desc = "flare_desc"
4.     }
5.  

Which uses this from english.lua:

Code: Lua

1. L.flare_name      = "Flare gun"
2. L.flare_desc      = [[
3. Can be used to burn corpses so that
4. they are never found. Limited ammo.
5.  
6. Burning a corpse makes a distinct
7. sound.]]

My question is, can I add translations for this without actually editing the english.lua file?

See if this works (client-side): LANG.AddToLanguage( "english", "flare_name", "Flare gun" )

You may have to call the function inside an Initialize hook.

The function definition and some comments can be found in garrysmod/gamemodes/terrortown/gamemode/cl_lang.lua#L47.
