Black Mesa Unofficial Arabic Localization - (مود اللغة العربية (غير رسمي

This is an alpha version of a mod designed to provide a working Arabic translation.


Notice that subscribing to the workshop mod has an issue with the subtitles size at higher resolutions. See below about fixing it or use downloadable version from the guide. The guide also has instructions on installing a right-aligned version, credits, and more details.

The workshop version is meant to be used with the latest patch (12.5.2025), please update your game before subscribing. The downloadable versions also have pre-patch releases, though I won't be able to help with those in any way.

(want to help this transition from alpha? contact me to help with testing the mod)

Feel free to comment here with any issues. You can't comment with sandwiches but positive feedback would also be nice :) Also you're more than welcome to share this page.

If you can't see correct subtitles, Make sure to choose the Unofficial Arabic as the captioning language in the options menu under audio. It might appear as an "empty" language (right after Arabic).

If the subtitles are too small and you don't want to use the downloadable versions,
Find a file named "gameinfo.txt" in ...\Black Mesa\bms, and add the line

game+mod ../../workshop/content/362890/2893890254/portl.vpk

within the parentheses for "SearchPaths", like this:

...
SearchPaths
{
...
game+mod ../../workshop/content/362890/2893890254/portl.vpk

// Black Mesa VPK files.
...

Note : You might need to edit gameinfo.txt again following game updates.

I did a quick test following the 12.05.2025 patch - looks like it's still working.
You will need to edit gameinfo.txt as described above again to increase the subtitle size.
Thank you for all of your support - the mod now has 4 stars!

Mod is now updated to work with the latest patch in the workshop and in the downloads. Notice that for the workshop you'll have to reapply the solution with gameinfo.txt to get larger fonts.
This will probably not work if you haven't updated your game - if you wish to play with the older version, see the guide for getting the previous downloadable version. I won't be able to help with it though.

As for Kh_sa's question - unfortunately the patch brings no news as to official Arabic support. The change referred to in the update text refers to additional translators credited in the game.

On another note, I've noticed the mod is now rated - thank you for your support and ratings!!! Rating the mod will help more people notice it.
