I've been feeling sick for the last few days so progress on the translation has slowed down significantly. Still, I managed to work on it a bit, especially today.

This update mainly focuses on cleaning up more of the GUI text, like those located within the Religious Menu for the Holy Shipgirls' faith. That one in particular isn't all done yet, but I'm going to get a headache right now if I keep trying to work on this at the same crazy pace I was before.



Also, somebody (or somebodies) awarded this mod some Steam Awards. Thanks so much! I'll finally be able to afford more pngs of anime waifus!

Because that's what this is really all about. That's my character arc.
I'm not driven by the motivation to give back to the community, that was a lie!
I'm driven by pngs! I want those anime waifu pngs! Even if it takes 9 more months of working on this, I want those waifu pngs! 9 more months until I get ALL the pngs!! 9 more months!!!

I want those waifus!!!

Remember when 3 updates ago I said I translated the new text options which pop up when starting a new game?
Yea. Yea, me too. I remember it like it was only 5 hours ago.


This update *actually* hand translates that text.
Due to the previous workload, it completely slipped my mind to do so before as I just wanted to finally be able to kick up my feet for a bit. Oh how naive I was. The work is never done.

This update also includes a few tweaks and fixes to text which should help make it much more obvious what is really happening and how some gameplay-affecting stuff actually works.

But that's not all folks! Download now and you'll also receive a new GUI, fully hand translated into English! All for free! (and that's a great price!)

Found and fixed the file that was making the update go all funky.

A text emoji I added to a code comment was giving the Steam updater a bit of trouble it seems.
The offending emoji was taken out behind the shed and sent to a better place.

If you still experience any issues updating, try un-subscribing and re-subscribing to the mod again.
You can also tell Steam to Verify integrity of game files.

This update doesn't actually change anything.

I simply added a dummy file to force Steam into rechecking the mod's files as something seems to have gone wrong with the last update while uploading.

This isn't a big update in terms of text which affects gameplay. (though it was still a lot of work Dx)

I wanted to get the ruler selection/ruler lore file from last update fully done and out of the way.
It isn't the absolute best in some areas, but the little amount of context I was working with made this incredibly difficult to bring up to par. I'm pretty happy with the way it managed to turn out despite this hurdle.

So this update fixes up the rest of that file alongside a big proof-reading done to it.
Now I move on to more gameplay text. And it's going to be another big one. Oh boy.

* This update also includes a translation for a new text option which pops up when you start a new game.



...I will never complain about a video game not being translated into English quickly enough ever again.
...
...
With that being said, where the heck is Trails into Reverie!? Oh, that's coming out next year in 2023?
Huh... Okay, let me find something else to bitch about. Let's see here...ah!
Where the heck is the English version for Kuro no Kiseki?!?!?

This update...broke me a bit.

First, CK3 decides to do a funny and not let me load the local copy of the mod.
Whatever, fine, I'll create a new local file for it and just copy everything there for testing.

Next, I can't figure out why a number of my translations aren't applying, like at all, despite working in other areas.
Turns out CK3 was doing some really weird loading of the files within the Chinese locales which was overwriting my translation. That's fixed too, so we're back on track.

And then I find out some of my translations are actually massively overflowing like it's no one's business.
So I had to condense a really awesome story as much as possible. That made me a bit sed. (though there's another area you can read it in-game, so it's fine)

That eventually led me down a rabbit hole of finding a bunch of errors in the translation, among other things which are just in a bad state as they were. Fixed those I found, but I need to refocus my efforts. I'm aware of some more issues, however, and they will be fixed too.


...SIIGGGHHH. But my bitching aside, yea, another quite chunky update to the translation. I kind of forgot what exactly was changed since this one ended up being all over the place, but needless to say, there are a few improvements across the board. The main big one is that this update cleaned up the ruler selection menu.

My hands are sweaty, eyes are heavy, I'm tired of non-stop translating already.

OH, THERE GOES GRAVITY, OH THERE GOES SANITY.
ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE TONIGHT BEFORE TRAGEDY.


Anyways, even more files have been cleaned up by hand! Woo!
Also fixed a small amount of text and did some proof-reading.

Does anyone actually read these? If so, you'll have to forgive their scuffed nature.
Writing these is genuinely a bit of fun. A nice way to cap off a load of work with some silliness.

Alright, on to the next! Because despite the work being a little tedious, it's also kind of fun.
I think I need a break first, though. Especially since the files after this update will now be much larger in scope.

Another big file has been manually cleaned up!

We're getting closer and closer to tackling the big choonkers.
And then, we tackle the Secretary Dialog which is just an absolute unit of a text file.

Even more files have been cleaned up by hand!

Also fixed a teeny tiny amount of messed up text I found in other files. More of these to come, as always, but I'm trying not to jump around files and do them one by one so I can maintain some semblance of sanity and organization.

I made 2 of the options during the initial choosing of religious settings not display correctly last update.
You were still able to change them in the menu, it was just a visual bug in the text at the top.

Still, what a bruh moment on my part. That should be fixed now, and this update also includes a few more fixes and additions to the English translation. More on the way.



Dear lord there is a lot of work to do still... Alright, let's get on it.
