RL Language Pack Template for RLCraft Localizers
This template contains language files with all English texts displayed in RLCraft version 2.10 and above. It is designed for creating game translations into other languages.
How to Start Translating
Download this template resource pack and begin translating the content. To start working, you need to determine your language code according to the official Minecraft localization wiki. A mandatory requirement is renaming all en_us.lang files according to the selected language code.
After completing the translation process:
- Rename the "English_RLC" folder to match your language
- Customize the pack.meta and pack.png files according to your preferences
- Archive the finished files in ZIP format
- Publish the completed translation so RLCraft players can easily find and download it
You can examine the implementation example based on the Spanish resource pack.
RLCraft Specifics
If you already have a universal resource pack with translation, consider the important features:
RLCraft replaces many original mod texts for better alignment with the pack concept. New language keys have been added, created using special scripts.
Popular Localizator mod generates a huge number of language keys for texts that were previously hardcoded.
It is recommended to open each language file and perform content comparison with your files to ensure the highest quality gaming experience.
Additional Opportunities
For those who want to dive deeper into the localization process, a GitHub repository is available with additional materials and guides.
Important Notes
The developer is not part of the core RLCraft creator team, so some texts may be missing from the template. If you find missing texts, create a pull request with relevant screenshots to add the necessary language keys.
Note regarding poetry books in Recurrent complex structures: they are not intended for translation due to the extreme complexity of the process. Translating these elements would require creating millions of language keys, while few players actually read their content. An option exists to create a Mixin to replace the random poetry generator with configuration files, allowing addition of copyright-free poems in various languages.
