Unofficial Translation Project

🎮 **Unofficial project to enable Dinkum games to support multi-language translation**

✨ Project Introduction

I discovered that Dinkum Games uses the I2.Loc system, which is ready for future localization. But I can't wait! I want to be able to play the translated version of Dinkum now! Especially my girlfriend who doesn’t speak English very well but loves this game very much. It would be great if she could play in her own language.

So I developed this Bepinex plug-in and added language support to Dinkum using XML files by overriding the GetTranslation method.

📥 Installation Guide

• **Install BepInEx 6.0.0-pre.1** - Use the tool to install and run the game once
• **Install DLL file** - Copy "mystikal.dinkum.translator.dll" to the "BepInEx\plugins\" folder
• **Install Translation Files** - Copy the entire "translations" folder to the "BepInEx\plugins\" folder
• **Configure language** - After running the game, edit the "BepInEx\config\mystikal.dinkum.translator.cfg" file and change `language = en` to your language code

🔤 Special font instructions

⚠️ **Must read for Russian and Simplified Chinese users**

The McLaren font used by Dinkum by default does not support Cyrillic letters and Simplified Chinese. This mod can now replace the fonts in the game with any TTF font.

By default, you can install the optional "Alternative Fonts" package, which will replace the default fonts with Noto Sans fonts.

If you want to use another font, just place it in the "BepInEx\plugins\patched_font" folder and modify the following line in the configuration file:

• `alternative_font = NotoSans-SemiBold.ttf` - for Russian or when `always_use_alt_font` is set to true
• `alternative_font_for_zh = NotoSansSC-SemiBold.ttf` - for Simplified Chinese
