Go anywhere else and there is no Chinese language here

[Dr.7stars]

Endless Space, Endless Legend and Endless Space2 won't have their offical Chinese language support now and then.
I am a MOD translator for Elder Scrolls V, and like 4x games very much,too. I have bought Endless Space, Endless Legend and Endless Space2. When the Endless Legend was newly applied on STEAM, I had bought it. Then few days later, I found some friends who are also translators bought it,too. We discussed and then want to make some contribution for it.
We then not crack or do anything bad for it. In fact, we are only translators, not crackers or programers. As the leader of this temp team, I mailed to offical E-mail address of this game to introduce oursleves and wrote we are only want to ask for the txt of this game, translate it and return to offical developers to make contribution to the Chinese language support. Not anything else.
But there was no response, even any refuse mail. I have mailed them at least 4 times, using QQ mail, Gmail, hotmail and outlook. But was ignored. Just for that then, I had known this result.
In fact, I still want there will be Chinese language displays. If NO ONE ELSE do the translating job, I think I will make some contributions. I and my friends are all have some big MOD translating experiences such as "Interesting NPCs", "Legacy of the Dragonborn (Dragonborn Gallery)“ and so on.

You're obviously free to make any mod you want for the Endless Games, you don't need permission.

If you're talking about the chinese mod that was around before, apparently there was an issue with it: It linked to a pirated/cracked version of the game in the mod description. You really can't do that, even if you're not doing anything else bad.

[Dr.7stars]

Yeah, but we are only translators. We don't know how to dump the text from the game, and how to make it into a MOD...
Is there any guides or documents to teach something about that?

You don't need to dump anything, pretty much everything in the game is wide open to modding. Just go to: "Endless Legend/Public/Localization/english/" and you will find the files you are looking for.

EF_Localization_Assets_Locales.xml
EF_Localization_Locales.xml

Open them with like notepad++ and start translating the text values.

I believe there's a guide on the official forums on how to turn your changes into a mod.
