####################################### ## Read: mods_steam_workshop.txt ! ## ## To create a new mod for submission to the Steam Workshop, first create a new folder for your mod within the 'mods' directory. ## Then, copy or recreate all the modified files into that folder! ## ## For example, if a file was originally located in game/ExampleFile.json, ## it should be placed in mods/YourModName/game/ExampleFile.json in your mod's folder. ## ##### You can add anything that needs to be translated to the translation files: events, buildings, technologies, units, legacies, laws, Civilization names, and more! #### How to Add Translations for Different Languages to Your Mod Go to Your Mod Folder: mods/YourMod/ ## Instead 'YourMod' use unique name for YourMod!! Create a Languages Folder: Inside your mod folder, create a new folder called: languages The path for your translations will now be: mods/YourMod/languages/ ##### Create the Default English Translation File: Inside the languages folder, create a file named: Bundle.properties So the full path will look like this: mods/YourMod/languages/Bundle.properties This file will serve as your default English translation. Inside the file, add your translatable text as key-value pairs. Here’s an example for unit names: ########################### SharkCat = Shark Cat HomeCat = Home Cat DadCat = Dad Cat ########################### The text on the left side (before the =) is the key. The text on the right side (after the =) is the translation. #### Add Translations for Other Languages, Example: Polish To add translations for another language, such as Polish, you’ll need to create a new file in the same languages folder. All the game’s translation formats can be found in: game/languages/ From this, you’ll find that Polish translations use '_pl' in the file name. So, create a new file for Polish: mods/YourMod/languages/Bundle_pl.properties Inside this file, provide the Polish translations like this: ########################### SharkCat = Kot Rekin HomeCat = Domowy Kot DadCat = Kot Tata ########################### You're Done! Now your mod has both English and Polish translations. For a complete example, check out: modsExamples/NewUnits_PlusTranslations/ ########################### Do not add translations to the main game translation files! game/languages/ Use mod-specific translations instead! mods/YourMod/languages/
