There's already a workshop mod for chinese here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=625962606

I'd recommend using that as a baseline while comparing it to the main game. The main file that you'll be editing is the locale file (the english one is locale.en and can be found in mods/locale/locale.en in the crea installation location). The purpose of the locale file is to replace text in the code with the correct text when viewed in game. If you have any questions just ask and I'll answer more thoroughly when I have more time.

I'm a little confused here what word i can translate to appear in game?
locale("CustomizationShoes", "Shoes") ?

Your answers in order:

You can upload it the same as any other mod, I think you figured this out already guessing by your question on the modding guide.

You can open it with any text reading application (though I would advise a programming text editor, notepad++ will work great for these purposes).

Yes you can change the name from en.locale to pt.locale. In fact, you should do this, otherwise the game will not recognize it as a new language.

For the translation and how it will appear in game, the format is
As such, the PlaceHolderText will always be the same regardless of the translation, but the Text to be shown in game should be replaced with the translation.

Hope this helps! It sounds like Jasson (the main dev) is back so I'll probably direct him to you next time I see him around. I haven't really used the language translation system much, so I can't help you very well with this, and he could help you much better since he designed the system.

well i translated 35% of the game at momment but i don't know what i did wrong i put the info file with the right descriptions and put the (portuguese_language) folder like this (without equal) i put the fonts and changed the direction of the fonts to my mod when i open crea he closes

i put the right directories like this
name = "Portuguese"

font("text", "mods/portuguese_language/ui/fonts/Bitter/Bitter-Regular.ttf")
font("nameplate", "mods/portuguese_language/ui/fonts/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-B.ttf")
font("number", "mods/portuguese_language/ui/fonts/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-B.ttf")

And the right desc like this
{
"title": "portuguese language,
"author": "Condizion",
"description": "Tradução PT-BR, qualquer erro ortográfico reporte no chat",
"serverOnly": false
"version": "1.0",
"priority": 1,
}

I am doing something wrong?

It may be that you're using non-ascii characters in your description. Alternatively, it may be that you have a typo somewhere in the locales with a missing comma, parenthesis, or quotation mark. If you post your log that will probably shed some light on the problem.
