Directory Structure

Create a locales folder under your custom node, which supports multiple types of translation files:

nodeDefs.json - Node Definition Translation

For example, here is a Python definition example of an i18n-demo node:

class I18nTextProcessor:
    @classmethod
    def INPUT_TYPES(cls):
        return {
            "required": {
                "text": ("STRING", {
                    "multiline": True,
                    "default": "Hello World!",
                    "tooltip": "The original text content to be processed"
                }),
                "operation": (["uppercase", "lowercase", "reverse", "add_prefix"], {
                    "default": "uppercase",
                    "tooltip": "The text processing operation to be executed"
                }),
                "count": ("INT", {
                    "default": 1,
                    "min": 1,
                    "max": 10,
                    "step": 1,
                    "tooltip": "The number of times to repeat the operation"
                }),
            },
            "optional": {
                "prefix": ("STRING", {
                    "default": "[I18N] ",
                    "multiline": False,
                    "tooltip": "The prefix to add to the text"
                }),
            }
        }

    RETURN_TYPES = ("STRING",)
    RETURN_NAMES = ("processed_text",)
    FUNCTION = "process_text"
    CATEGORY = "I18n Demo"
    DESCRIPTION = "A simple i18n demo node that demonstrates text processing with internationalization support"

    def process_text(self, text, operation, count, prefix=""):
        try:
            result = text
            
            for _ in range(count):
                if operation == "uppercase":
                    result = result.upper()
                elif operation == "lowercase":
                    result = result.lower()
                elif operation == "reverse":
                    result = result[::-1]
                elif operation == "add_prefix":
                    result = prefix + result
            
            return (result,)
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"I18nTextProcessor error: {e}")
            return (f"Error: {str(e)}",)

Then the corresponding localized support nodeDefs.json file content should include:

{
  "I18nTextProcessor": {
    "display_name": "I18n Text Processor",
    "description": "A simple i18n demo node that demonstrates text processing with internationalization support",
    "inputs": {
      "text": {
        "name": "Text Input",
        "tooltip": "The original text content to be processed"
      },
      "operation": {
        "name": "Operation Type",
        "tooltip": "The text processing operation to be executed",
        "options": {
          "uppercase": "To Uppercase",
          "lowercase": "To Lowercase",
          "reverse": "Reverse Text",
          "add_prefix": "Add Prefix"
        }
      },
      "count": {
        "name": "Repeat Count",
        "tooltip": "The number of times to repeat the operation"
      },
      "prefix": {
        "name": "Prefix Text",
        "tooltip": "The prefix to add to the text"
      }
    },
    "outputs": {
      "0": {
        "name": "Processed Text",
        "tooltip": "The final processed text result"
      }
    }
  }
}

For the node output part, the corresponding output index is used instead of the output name, for example, the first output should be 0, the second output should be 1, and so on. For example, in the i18n-demo custom node, we registered the following two menu settings:

app.registerExtension({
    name: "I18nDemo",
    settings: [
        {
            id: "I18nDemo.EnableDebugMode",
            category: ["I18nDemo","DebugMode"], // This matches the settingsCategories key in main.json
            name: "Enable Debug Mode", // Will be overridden by translation
            tooltip: "Show debug information in console for i18n demo nodes", // Will be overridden by translation
            type: "boolean",
            defaultValue: false,
            experimental: true,
            onChange: (value) => {
                console.log("I18n Demo:", value ? "Debug mode enabled" : "Debug mode disabled");
            }
        },
        {
            id: "I18nDemo.DefaultTextOperation",
            category: ["I18nDemo","DefaultTextOperation"], // This matches the settingsCategories key in main.json
            name: "Default Text Operation", // Will be overridden by translation
            tooltip: "Default operation for text processor node", // Will be overridden by translation
            type: "combo",
            options: ["uppercase", "lowercase", "reverse", "add_prefix"],
            defaultValue: "uppercase",
            experimental: true
        }
    ],
    })

If you need to add corresponding internationalization support, for the menu category, you need to add it in the main.json file:

{
  "settingsCategories": {
    "I18nDemo": "I18n Demo",
    "DebugMode": "Debug Mode",
    "DefaultTextOperation": "Default Text Operation"
  }
}

For the translation of the corresponding setting items, it is recommended to update them separately in the settings.json file, for example:

{
  "I18nDemo_EnableDebugMode": {
    "name": "Enable Debug Mode",
    "tooltip": "Show debug information in console for i18n demo nodes"
  },
  "I18nDemo_DefaultTextOperation": {
    "name": "Default Text Operation",
    "tooltip": "Default operation for text processor node",
    "options": {
      "uppercase": "Uppercase",
      "lowercase": "Lowercase",
      "reverse": "Reverse",
      "add_prefix": "Add Prefix"
    }
  }
}

Note that the name of the corresponding translation key should replace the . in the original id with _, for example:

"I18nDemo.EnableDebugMode" -> "I18nDemo_EnableDebugMode"
