While in Erannorth Reborn, the localization was a single large json file, in Erannorth Chronicles the Localization is broken into multiple json files that each covers a separate section.

They are all located in C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Erannorth Chronicles\Erannorth Chronicles_Data\StreamingAssets\Content\Expansions\Erannorth Chronicles\Localization


This is the first file you need to copy, rename and edit to set the language to an English variant of your language.

So if I was to make a Greek translation I'd change the contents from

{
"Language": "English",
"Compatibility": "Erannorth Chronicles",
"HasUserModifications": "No"
}

to

{
"Language": "Greek",
"Compatibility": "Erannorth Chronicles",
"HasUserModifications": "No"
}

AND also rename this file to Greek.json


The actual translation strings are located in the following files:

• English_Card Rules.json
  
• English_Codex.json
  
• English_Combat Log.json
  
• English_Game Mode Rules.json
  
• English_Status Effects.json
  
• English_Tooltips.json
  
• English_Tutorial.json
  
• English_UI.json

I need to copy these files and then rename them from "English_blah.json" to "Greek_blah.json"

ie.

• Greek_Card Rules.json
  
• Greek_Codex.json
  
• Greek_Combat Log.json
  
• Greek_Game Mode Rules.json
  
• Greek_Status Effects.json
  
• Greek_Tooltips.json
  
• Greek_Tutorial.json
  
• Greek_UI.json

In these files you will find many entries in the following format:

"Key":"Translation"

ie.

"MainMenuContinue":"Load/Save Progress",

could be in Greek

"MainMenuContinue":"Επαναφορά/Σώσιμο Προόδου",

or in French (according to google translate)

"MainMenuContinue":"Charger / enregistrer la progression",

etc.

And repeat my way to all the files. Any HTML tags <TAG> or number placeholders {0},{1} etc. must be left intact.

Once all 9 json files are ready and translated, you can convert them into a Mod.

For example, in `/Mods/My Translation/`:

You should place all your files in `/Mods/My Translation/Localization/`.

Important: Do not include the {Language} descriptor in the mod name. Naming your mod something like 'Greek' or 'Greek Translation' could result in complications during file parsing.

Next, create a `ModLoaderUser.conf` file at `/Mods/My Translation/ModLoaderUser.conf` containing the following two lines:

>> Language
Greek

That's all there is to it. However, remember that merely restarting the Mod Manager will not suffice if you're changing a translation mod. You must fully restart the game.

To verify that everything is functioning as expected, aside from the apparent translation of various strings to your native language, head to the Player's Handbook and search for "Fallback".

If any cards are displayed there with fallback text, then there may be an issue with your mod. It's possible that a tag was replaced, or perhaps a numerical placeholder was removed.

By now you have most of the UI, Codex and Cards translated to your language. But this doesn't cover the perks, journal entries, all events in general etc.


The perks descriptions are defined along with Perks. in /Perks/ ie. PerksDB.Core.tdb

This is how a Perk looks:

Master Assassin, 275, Anatomy Lessons II
→ Acid Affinity +2.<br>→ [All Actions] Damage +1.<br>→ [All Actions] Venom +2.<br>→ 'Envenomed' Enemies lose 3 HP before they act.
PerkTree:Assassin, ProficiencyAcid:2, ModifyEffectVenom:2, ModifyEffectDOTEnvenomed:3, ModifyEffectDamage:1

Τhe line "→ Acid Affinity +2.<br>→ [All Actions] Damage +1.<br>→ [All Actions] Venom +2.<br>→ 'Envenomed' Enemies lose 3 HP before they act." can be anything you like.

You then need to add your own translated perk definition file in your mod.


Events, Class & Race, Game Modes etc all these are on their own files, and as you can change anything in them you can also translate and override them in a similar fashion.


If I was to translate the game in Greek. I would start with the Localization file, then translate the Perk descriptions and finally the Events, Class Descriptions & Game Mode Descriptions.


It's possible, but wouldn't recommend it. You'd have to use an editor that works with projects like Visual Studio, and then make sure that the Name you replace is also replaced wherever else it's referenced. i.e Archetypes or other cards, which can mess up things if you aren't careful.

As you can see, it's a pretty huge undertaking, but:

If your language characters aren't supported, you come at dead ends, or need help, further instructions etc. Let me know to help! You can also use the forum or discord to create groups and break down the various translatable things to different projects. ;)
