Guide: Installing or creating a translation

[david 8.4k]

To install a translation:

1. Download the language file (a .milanguage file.)
2. Open the settings (wrench button.)
3. Open the interface header.
4. Click the folder icon below the language info to select the downloaded file.

To create your own translation:

1. Copy the english.milanguage file found in the Data\Languages folder of your Mine-imator install and rename it (to swedish.milanguage for example.)
2. Download Notepad++ or VS Code (both are free) and open your new file. Regular Notepad is NOT recommended for this.
3. In the file, replace the text to the right of the : on each line (leave a space next to the colon), numbers preceded by a percent sign (%1, %2...) are given certain values from the program.
4. To view the changes, install the language using the instructions above, the settings also has a button for reloading the language.
5. When a new Mine-imator version is installed with new texts, they will automatically be displayed in English, and the log file in C:/Users/You/AppData/Roaming/Mine_imator will tell you what fields are missing from your translation.

Translations of outstanding quality may be added into the program!

Note: Remember to translate the file in the latest available version!
