# Content Patcher ``{{Fluent}}`` tokens

Project Fluent can be used in [Content Patcher](https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/1915) mods via the `{{Fluent}}` token.

## Setup

To use Fluent translations in Content Patcher mods via the `{{Fluent}}` token, you have to make some changes to your `manifest.json`.

First, you have to add a dependency for Project Fluent:

{
    // ...
    "Dependencies": [
        {
            "UniqueID": "Shockah.ProjectFluent"
        }
    ]
}

Second, you also have to declare that Project Fluent should register the `{{Fluent}}` token for your Content Patcher mod:

{
    // ...
    "UsesFluentContentPatcherTokens": true
}

Project Fluent will then register the `{{Fluent}}` token on your mod's behalf.

## Usage

The usage is similar to how you would use [the `{{i18n}}` Content Patcher token](https://github.com/Pathoschild/StardewMods/blob/develop/ContentPatcher/docs/author-guide/translations.md).

To get a simple translation, write `{{Fluent:your-translation-key}}`.

To specify the FTL file to retrieve a translation from, use the `|file` argument:
`{{Fluent:your-translation-key |file=subfile}}`

Unlike the `{{i18n}}` token, the `{{Fluent}}` token does not support the `|default` argument -- if a translation is not found, it will default to the translation key by default.

Any other arguments provide values for translation tokens, similar to the `{{i18n}}` token.
