translate Kotor AutoTranslate Tool v0.7.1

Translate an entire mod or KOTOR install to 80 languages using Google Translate!

This is a very powerful tool that can modify TLK strings and CExoLocStrings in GFFs in bulk quickly. Simply follow the prompts, point it to the GFF/TLK/Kotor directory/whatever and have it automatically translated to the language of your choice!

This tool can also create those bitmap 'font packs' that users have been using to play the game in non-released languages (Many thanks to Drazgar and DarthParametric for providing the insight into the TXI files). This means the in game text will show the correct characters when playing the game.

How to use:

Simply run the executable. It'll ask you many things. There are 3 actions you can do with this:

Set all dialog unskippable       sets all dialog found in dlgs, at the chosen path, to unskippable. Includes every node. Not recommended lol

Translate                                     Will translate All CExoLocStrings (localized strings) and TLK entries at the path to the language(s) of your choice

Create Fonts                               Will create fonts of the chosen languages to your current directory in a folder named after the language. Just drag and drop these files to your Override folder once it completes.

If you point PATH1 to a KOTOR install, it will ONLY patch the Override folder, the Modules folder, the rims folder (if exists), and the dialog.tlk file. This was a design choice to improve how long the patcher takes to finish. This includes any subfolders within the aforementioned folder names.

The patched files will be in the same directory as the original files with the appended language suffixed to the end of the file. For example, 'dialog_de.tlk'. You will need to rename them as their original filenames to activate them.

Supported filetypes/formats:

• TalkTable files (TLK)
• Any GFF file (DLG, UTC, etc)
• TGA/TXI (non-translateable obviously)
• Any capsule (ERF, MOD, etc)

 

DBCS languages such as Japanese/Korean/Chinese are not currently supported.

This program is in beta. Please report any bugs you encounter.
