Endonym Names for OTTO's Dynamic Names

Description
I took the idea of Clickypoo and wanted to apply it on OTTO's magnificient mod, so here is a start of it.

It can work on its own but if one plays with both, OTTO's mod must be placed above this one.

Plurilingual Countries can now Change Language depending of situtaions and within the limits of accepted cultures.
  • Monarchies and Theocracies have their language defined by their capital states, monarchs tends to have cultures very different than that of the country they ruled, while, more often than not, churches uses the local languages.
  • Republics, and council republics, have their languages depend of the culture of their ruler. In the case that the culture is not a primary one, the name default to a language arbitrarily choosen (might be subject to change in the future)

    It lacks some countries from OTTO's mods that have yet to be translated as it is sometime hard to find reliable translation tools or or charts for some languages, if anyone notice an error, which there probably are a number of, or can offer new or better translations, please notice me of it so I can update it.

    Also shoutout to Country Name Plus by DrProfEthan, of which I've started adding and mixing names from

    The mod currently latinise all languages but I'm searching for a ways add a button for different things like cycling through different writing systems or using endonym characters, but I've yet to manage it

    Works with game in:
    • (Brazilian) Portuguese
    • english
    • french
    • german
    • polish
    • russian
    • spanish
    • turkish
    • korean
    • chinese
    • japanese
    I just copy/pasted the localisation file so please tell me if there is any issue with it.
    I also realised that might cause problems with adjectives, I will try to work something out about that.



    The graphic mods used for the screenshot are the following:
    • OTTO's mod for the colours, obviously.
    • Map Font - Paradox Victorian for the Vic font names of countries
    • Enhanced Graphics for shaders and the likes
    • UI Theme Pack for the UI that currently is set on "French (Dark)"
    • The overhaul feeling of "Dark age so dark" is caused by setting Dawn of Wonder's Day & Night Cycle to nighttime in the theme settings.

Although this will not be compatible with this mod if anyone wants to continue playing with Otto's mod for 1.9.x and beyond check out the continuation of the original! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3516634569

It looks like there might be a gap in the naming for Russian puppet Kunduz

This mod still works on its own, but will only affect country names

@conrad I do not anymore. Sadly, steam erases your local files if the mod is deleted from steam

Dam. If the original mod had not been deleted, then I would not have seen yours

the original mod was removed, do you happen to have a copy of it by chance?

Okey I understand and keeping my fingers crossed for your work!

@Dramfer, thanks for the advice and corrections, it actually made me finally start fully redoing country names into proper names.
With few exceptions, current names are mostly direct translations from Otto's names, which are severely lacking in many ways, some translation also lacking any kind of verification, explaining the errors and strange namings.
This whole do-over will probably take some time and get published bits by bits, but I'm getting tired of discovering more and more country having badly translated names or very strange-sounding ones because I first only tried to do literal translations.
Thanks again and you should see it appear very soon.
