Hi!

I managed to create a very simple module for game localisations in Defold that utilizes open-source Polyglot sheet available [here.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17f0dQawb-s_Fd7DHgmVvJoEGDMH_yoSd8EYigrb0zmM)

Defold Polyglot is a tool that parses downloaded Polyglot CSV file and you can use it in Defold (or possibly any Lua based) project. It is available (MIT - free open-sourced) in the link below:

[https://github.com/paweljarosz/defold-polyglot](https://github.com/paweljarosz/defold-polyglot)

The instructions and API description are in README.md

Example usage:

```lua
-- 1. import resource
polyglot.import("/assets/polyglot.csv")

-- 2. set language
polyglot.set_language("Polish")

-- 3. use proper string_id in getter
local translation = polyglot.get("CONTEXT_CLASS_WARRIOR")

label.set_text("#label", "Warrior in Polish is: "..translation)

```

Project includes Defold example project which has an output:

I hope you will like it! Ideally, it would be great to merge it to [DefGlot](https://github.com/subsoap/defglot), as it is far more advanced 😉
