Barony Translations
Greetings to all adventurers of the realm!
As stated in the 4.1 Life After Death announcement, we're excited to work with you on the creation of quality Barony translations. Currently Barony only officially supports the English language. But intrepid modders have already done an to make Barony a great experience in other languages. We've just released a hotfix to expose Main Menu and Settings text (previously hard-coded in 4.0), which will allow translations to be complete. So that's accessible right now!

If you have previously made a legacy Barony translation mod, and/or you are interested in having your 4.0+ translation being part of the base Barony product, we would love to hear from you!
Here is the list of 4.0+ translations we are currently aware of:We currently do not have permission to use any of these translations outside of their mods!
There may also be demand for the following languages, but we are not aware of existing language translation efforts:
  • Italian
  • German
  • Swedish

Please let us know in the comments about other languages that you are working on, or simply let us know if you have a language that you really want to see added to the list of efforts!

We're welcoming wise and dedicated heroes to serve the Barony community by creating a selection of languages with the creation of language mods. By changing the right files (including fonts), most languages can be supported! With your permission, we would like to use your completed language mod so that more players from across the world can enjoy Barony in their native language.

We're a very small team with limited resources, and as a result translations are usually outside our capacity to support. But we receive Emails often from folks looking to make translations so that more people can enjoy playing together, and more requests asking for completed translations! We're eager to support your efforts!
Thank you in advance for your passion and interest in making Barony more accessible to more audiences!

In this discussion, we'll keep track each translation to help reduce redundancy. Our Discord would be the best place to form teams and discuss challenges in realtime, but you're welcome to use this thread to declare your intentions, or link to completed mods.

Thanks again for your generous support!

FAQ
Some messages in Barony do not support proper grammar in my language for translation. What can I do?
We currently have no solution to account for this. Barony's log messages, in particular, may use "Mad Libs" style sentence construction, intended for English grammar rules. The best we can suggest right now would be to rewrite these lines so that they are as good as they can be within your language's grammatical constraints.
I want to contribute to a translation effort. What now?
Go to the official Barony Discord! The best place to start a discussion about a translation effort would be in your language's channel.
My language isn't in the Barony Discord! What now?
Let us know in this Discussion, and we'll make the channel!

I'd be more than happy to help do some translation work for Estonian and Finnish (more comfortable when I can get more people). The channels aren't on the discord for these languages

Hello there!
I've translated the game into Hungarian language back in the day, but then decided to wait for the new update and translated other games. Now when the Quality of Death update came out I started working on it, but haven't finished it yet. Will contact you guys (or you can contact me)

Fantastic! Thank you! I've created Finnish (suomi) and Estonian (eesti) and hungarian (magyar) channels on Discord in the "Languages" category so that you have a place to discuss your translation efforts or recruit helpers for those languages.

Update, with last night's hotfix Main Menu / Settings Menu text can now be modded / translated. There should be nothing now in the game which can't be translated via data changes!

Hello! I am currently working on Korean translation by myself.
Fortunately, thanks to your translation guide, the translation process is going smoothly, and I anticipate the release of the Korean translation in February, if possible. However, there are some issues in the translation process that hinder achieving high-quality translation, and I would like to ask for the development team's assistance.

1. When applying Korean fonts and language, if the phrases in the en.txt file are line-broken, the ⍰ character appears on the line-broken text. This does not happen in the json files containing the text. I would greatly appreciate your help in determining whether this is due to the peculiarities of Korean characters or if there is a way for me to fix it within the game files.

2. I'm curious about how to reduce the font size. Is there any method other than using Font Forge?

(edited)
I am sending an email to developers, respond would be helpful!
