I did an English localization thing
I haven't even used the class yet, but I read all of the things and decided to touch them up.

Spelling is great, but I changed some grammar, capitalized some things, and reworded some stuff to make it sound more natural. I also did some little tweaks to the perspective of the descriptions. I could've gone a little further, since nobody in the game knows what a pile driver or a laser is, but I didn't want to meddle with that kind of stuff without your input.

There was one line that really confused me.
"Of course, she can also use some more primitive and efficient methods, but that isn't free."
I checked the Chinese text and Google Translate said the same thing, no matter how hard I kicked it.

The "isn't free" part is really strange to me, for a few reasons:

  • She cannot speak.
  • She doesn't know what money is.
  • The lore gives the impression that she is your responsibility, not your employee. A stranger drops her at your doorstep and now she is yours to care for. You basically adopt her, so she has no reason to want or need payment, even if she knew what money is.

... Man it is going to hurt if she dies.



So I figured that was a metaphor, and changed it to "but that is costly," which is more ambiguous.

I even managed to test it myself. Eventually. I found the localization.exe files and I figured it out from there. It works.

I have all the relevant files here, so anyone can use them. Drop them into \SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\262060\1595760408\localization

I might have to edit this post a few times until I find a file sharing site that Steam doesn't throw a tantrum over. It's 11 KB of fukken text files, Steam. I don't think it's going to kill anyone.
