Is there a way I can make my own translation for Payday 2?
I want to translate the game into a language that it doesn't currently have. Is there a way to do this with modding or something?

I'm not going to tell you how because Payday 2 has so many words, you'll be at this project for the rest of your life. You have a life to live.

I’m well aware of how much text the game has. How do I make a translation of it

First of all, know the launguage. Second of all, replace all text fields in the game. I can't tell you how to replace text fields since I don't have experience with payday modding, but if it works like other games then all you need to do is find where the code points to a text field and replace it with your own.

That’s what I’m asking how to do

I know there is a fan made Brazilian Portuguese mod that exists, so I'd imagine if you find it you might be able to find someone that can answer your question

yeah, you can, here are some tools I've used so you can make it:

StringID Save[modworkshop.net], this will dump strings as you play the game
Diesel Bundle Viewer[modworkshop.net], you can use this to open game's files and go to "strings" folder and extract the text (the one that has no language in the name is the english text), also remember to have a hashlist[github.com] updated, or else the software won't be able to extract what you want
Text Logger[modworkshop.net], it has two mods, the one that grabs subtitles and the other the objectives, you'll need to open their lua files and type in the heist you want to filter

there might be some texts that a simple localization mod won't be enough, so here's my localization mod, I've even translated a few textures that are crucial for the heist objective, apart from the text that are in 3D space that requires some additional modding
Localization Brazilian Portuguese[modworkshop.net], you can try and use my mod as a base for yours

Thanks

Is every single thing that you linked necessary for this? Or only some of them?

Also, I won't be translating any textures, only text

only one of them can do the job, but sometimes it's handy to have every tool in the shed ;P
