Libgdx internationalization

I wonder where do I put my Bundle file for internationalization. The Libgdx wiki doesn't explain where (Android assets folder?) and they use as example the name of file called MyBundle. May I use another name? My apologize for my naivety.

In case you would like to use the phone locals : Create an i18n in assets folder and a subfolder (example MyBundle). Insite this folder put files : - MyBundle.properties (defaults values, exemple : game=Game) - MyBundle_en.properties (game=Game) - MyBundle_fr.properties

Initialization : FileHandle internal = Gdx.files.internal("i18n/MyBundle"); I18NBundle local = I18NBundle.createBundle(internal, Locale.getDefault());

Use : String sTitre=local.get("game");

If you want to use the default local :

    FileHandle internal = Gdx.files.internal("i18n/MyBundle");
    I18NBundle local = I18NBundle.createBundle(internal, Locale.getDefault());

Create i18n folder in assets of android module. create different properties files in i18n folder like lang.properties, lang_es.properties, lang_fr.properties etc.

Then I use this code in my project.

FileHandle internal = Gdx.files.internal("i18n/lang"); 
I18NBundle local = I18NBundle.createBundle(internal, Locale.ROOT); 
I18NBundle portuguese = I18NBundle.createBundle(internal, new Locale("pt"));

First argument of I18NBundle constructor is a FileHandle instance. That's mean that you are not limited by one specific folder. See this wiki entry on file handling in libGDX. I suppose you use sample from official wiki and it has this line:

FileHandle baseFileHandle = Gdx.files.internal("i18n/MyBundle");

In this particular case, when we use Gdx.files.internal, bundle must be located in Android project's assets folder. There is no restrictions on file name also.
