Input System Localisation for Unity

Description

Localised keys for Unity's new Input System. When calling InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString, the returned string will always be in english (e.g. the 'Space' key), but we would like an accurate translation for any language.

This is an attempt at providing a framework to translate these keys to any language.

The source file with the input strings and translation is located in Resources/InputKeysDictionary.csv.

Usage

Assuming InputControlPath.ToHumanReadableString returns the first entry in the examples. Example usage:

Debug.Log(Giezi.Tools.InputSystemLocalisation.GetTranslation("Space", "Fr"));
Debug.Log(Giezi.Tools.InputSystemLocalisation.GetTranslation("Space", "De"));
Debug.Log(Giezi.Tools.InputSystemLocalisation.GetTranslation("Any Key", "Fr"));
Debug.Log(Giezi.Tools.InputSystemLocalisation.GetTranslation("Any Key", "De"));
Debug.Log(Giezi.Tools.InputSystemLocalisation.GetTranslation("Numpad *", "Fr"));
Debug.Log(Giezi.Tools.InputSystemLocalisation.GetTranslation("Numpad *", "De"));

Which outputs:

Espace
Leehrtaste
N'importe quelle touche
Irgend eine Taste
Pavé Numérique *
Nummernblock *

The class returns the input string if the value is not found.
