Description
ModTranslationHelper is designed to help with localisation of mods for games by Paradox Interactive, but can be used to process any data stored in the "value" key format in .yml and .txt files.
Program functionality
  • Creates a directory with localizations for the selected language, replacing all pointers from source language to target language, i.e. l_english becomes l_russian and so on with other languages. No more manual replacing of first lines and manual renaming of files.

  • will scan the directory with the localization of the vanilla game and if the key with the same value is found, the program itself will replace the value from the mod with the actual translation from the vanilla game. This is very helpful when the developer mod took a whole localization file from the vanilla game, changed a few lines there, the rest are not touched, put modification. No need to look for exactly which lines were changed...

  • Machine translation of all localization strings (except the vanilla ones, of course). I know that machine translation is a low quality product, but modern online translators produce pretty good quality text. Of course, you as a translator have to go through the whole text and correct the errors of the online translator, but in general it makes the translation work a lot easier.

  • Shields variables and parameters that the game adds to the translation from outside. Values such as concepts in CK3 [Concepts] or references to icons in Stellaris £icon£ will not be corrupted when you try to translate them with the online translator!

  • Accepts the directory with the previous version of the localization. When an update of your mod is released, you no longer have to manually search for the added lines. The user sets the folder where the program should find the localization of the previous version, and the program already in progress compares the values from the mod folder with what has already been translated, if matches are found, it goes to the next line without trying to translate a second time what already has localization!
