Select menu in multiple languages

[airanbertinetti]

Your library is magnificent. I'm using it on a NODE MCU8266 and it works great using I2C display. I navigate the menu with a rotary encoder and the ClickEncoder.h library.
I also created an exclusive function that performs the adjustment of parameters, since with the imputItem() I was unsuccessful. Now with its update menu.hide() and menu.show() it is much better, as it made it easier to return to the previous menu.
I also make that all parameter values ​​that are changed in the menu are saved in the EEPROM/FLASH memory of the 8266.
My project needs the menu to be in 3 different languages ​​(English, Spanish and Portuguese) as I live in Brazil. But as the text definition of the Menu Items are pointers of character pointers (char*), but I can only put them in the code scope. Any changes I make later by changing the values ​​at the memory address indicated by the pointer do not change anything in the menu. Although the values ​​in the memory addresses have already been changed, the menu does not change their text.
Could you help me solve this?

Okay, that's a new feature.

It could be made possible by using an array as the text of a MenuItem, while creating the MenuItem, you should add the text in different languages, making sure that the order is the same for all the MenuItems.
Then adding a new MenuItem type that will permit you to cycle through the array text when enter() is called.

This will increase RAM usage thereby limiting the RAM available for the program during runtime.
But it should be no problem with boards of higher RAM capacity. The Arduino might struggle at this.

Thanks for answering me, your work is great, congratulations.!
But in my project, I don't need the 3 languages ​​to be present simultaneously. When the device is turned on, the menu start in standard English language. Only then the user will choose which language the menu should be. I do this by writing in the EEPROM a flag 0, 1 or 2 that will be read at startup and will correspond to the language that was chosen. This choice will happen in a menuItem "Language".
Unfortunately I still don't know how to implement this!
