[SOLVED][1.7.10] Mod language file not working

bomber055 · June 29, 2014

My mod uses a language file en_US.lang which has worked perfectly in 1.7.2. Today I tried upgrading to Forge-1.7.10-10.13.0.1152 and now it throws a null pointer exception whenever I try to access a key from my language file. Debugging the error shows that the languageMap variable in LanguageManager.java is empty, so it returns null when attempting to get the key "en_US".

Is there another function I need to run to get the language files to setup properly before using them, or is this an error on Forge's part (it is a beta version after all)?

My code to get the localized string value:

    public static String get(String key)
    {
        String text = LanguageRegistry.instance().getStringLocalization(key);

        if (text == null || text.equals(""))
            text = LanguageRegistry.instance().getStringLocalization(key, "en_US");

        return text;
    }
