Localization Starter Pack

Add a clean localization foundation to your Godot project without building the same translation plumbing from scratch.

Localization Starter Pack is a small, practical starter kit for indie games, prototypes, game jams, and early commercial projects. It gives you a working Godot 4 demo, JSON and CSV translation data, fallback behavior, placeholder replacement, validation scripts, and import notes for other engines.
