"Hi, i think it is really great that rimworld modders are making or adding language packs for lots of mods
it really lets more players enjoy the mods :)

(ive been lucky with captain snafu and proxyer to help with some of my own too)
but...

i have seen an increase in the number of langage folders, which also include non-english naming in the folder:
for example:

instead of the usual naming:
F:\Steam_LIB\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\2050289408\Common\Languages\Korean

i have seen things like this:
F:\Steam_LIB\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\2050289408\Common\Languages\Korean (한국어)

and similar for other folders and languages, or even git source folders.

but on some computers (some older but still very good modding tools are having conflicts with this naming)
and i would like to suggest and ask that language folders stick to the basic alpha-numeric filenaming if possible.

(basically i am going through a bunch of mods with some grep search tools to make some of my mods more compatible, but a few mods with these characters are causing a few issues on those tools, and maybe affecting some other modders too).

(out of about 1400 mods, only about 10 have had these issues so far, so the "r"number is probably very small, like r0.1 or something :)
but ive seen some modders doing this "to follow in the style of rimworld 1.1?" and this trend, i think could cause more problems then benefits)? :)

thanks for reading,, i'll post this on a steam vanilla update page in case Sir Tynan can have a look too,, but please feel free to post this on ludeon too.

(before 1.1, i only saw this in a couple of mods out of 500) so something is on the rise :)

has some redundant? texture files with japanese filenames which could cause issues.
