IMPORTANT: if you want to translate using a file and not online, you must contact me first. I will give you the original file that the developer sends me. If you use the file I give you, I am 100% sure that all your translations will be inserted correctly. If you use an extracted file you might have problems.

IMPORTANT: Add Translation Engines: Configuring Machine Translation Engines Would you like to add other forms of translation such as Google or others? (Some are chargeable) Read here to find out how to do it: after that, send 'the url' that will be provided to you. Only you and I will know the url, but anyone can use the translation service. Thank you in advance ❤️

How to translate?

Hi, all translation projects are public to give everyone a chance to translate and improve existing translations. And only managers can approve translations.

You can find the list of translation projects here.

Choose what you want to translate and click on Translate.

It will take you to crowdin, which is a site that handles translation projects. First you will have to register or log in.

After that select the language you are interested in. If your language is not available contact me (Discord: _black_ram_) I will add it.

After that click on Translate All

Are all projects official?

Yes, all projects are official.
Before creating a project I contact the developer of that game to make arrangements and ask for translation files. I also ask the developer to put the translation directly into the original game and to include the names of those who translated, but unfortunately this depends on the developer.

Add your name in the project

If you want to translate and become an official translator of a certain language, just contact me (Discord: _black_ram_). The reason is that in this way I can contact the game developer to make sure that there is no official translation for that language.
Official translators have the option of adding their name and Patreon (or similar) in the description. And I will notify the developer to say who is translating what (you can also do this yourself). What I require to become official translators is:

  • having to play that game
  • try to translate the project as durably as possible

For official translators only

Approve translations

As long as a translation is not approved, anyone can improve or adjust it. Whereas if it is approved one can only recommend a translation.
I give complete freedom as to how and what to approve. However, my advice is to only approve translations made by hand while playing the game. So that a fan of the game while playing the game can improve the translation if he notices mistakes.

Translating everything with a button

You can translate everything so that you can play a game that has already been translated and correct errors while you are playing. the procedure is as follows
