Make sure to include the Bilingual.Runtime.Godot.Net folder in your addons and enable it.
To add dialogue, create a DialogueRunner node. This node will load the dialogue and run it.
In the editor, include the compiled Bilingual scripts in the Runner's FilePaths variable. These will be parsed and loaded on load.
Running dialogue is easy! Just find the DialogueRunner node and load the script. Load and run the script by calling RunScript(script) on the Runner.
After the script is loaded, call GetNextLine to get the next line of dialogue. And thats it!
The GetNextLine function returns a BilingualResult. Each Result has a special meaning and carries special data.
You can also choose dialogue options from the Runner and set its current language.
Refer to the Test.tcs and Source/Test.cs files for a quick example.
