CustomTranslation

Load new languages or modify translation in Silksong.

This mod does not introduce new language/translation. Instead it allows you to translate Silksong and add new languages into the game.

Features

• Choose new languages from in-game menu.
• Compatible with I18N, allowing you to translate mods in unsupported languages.
• Export translation texts.
• Load existing fan-made localizations without replacing game files.
• Load external fonts per language.
• Reload translation.

Limitation

• Right-to-left text will be rendered left-to-right because Silksong's text frameworks (TextMeshPro and uGui) do not support it. This means languages such as Arabic remains unsupported.
• Fonts in game and pause menu can't be replaced.

Install

For manual installation, first install BepinEx. Download the mod. Go to Silksong installation folder (where you should've installed BepinEx) and extract the mod zip file under BepinEx/plugins. You also need to install the dependencies which can be found on Thunderstore.

This is what your folder structure should look like:

.
└── BepinEx/
    └── plugins/
        ├── CarrieForle-CustomTranslation/
        │   ├── CustomTranslation.dll
        │   ├── CustomTranslation.pdb
        │   └── ...
        └── ...

Usage

Contribution

Documentation and mod translation are welcomed, but please don't submit fan-made translation.
