Badly translated sequel

by above-c-level·v1.0.0·Updated 2025-11-03

Poor translation of all text in the game, including menus! Or what I call "immersion mode". There is currently no voice translation. Maybe in the future? Every piece of text in the game has been translated into multiple random languages ​​via Google Translate, making it nearly incomprehensible.

About this mod Machine translation

Poor translation of all text in the game, including menus! Or what I call "immersion mode". There is currently no voice translation. Maybe in the future? Every piece of text in the game has been translated into multiple random languages ​​via Google Translate, making it nearly incomprehensible.

The sequel to the poorly translated version of Elden's Circle

🎭 Module Features

This mod uses the power of machine translation to **twist** all text in the game: everything is translated from English to English (with many other languages ​​in between).

🌟 Immersive experience

  • The menu can be a little difficult to navigate because... well... the translation quality is poor
  • This is an **intentional design** effect
  • Currently **no voice translation** but may be added in the future

🎮 Source of inspiration

Inspired by poor translation mods for existing FromSoftware games:

  • Dark Souls poorly translated version
  • Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin - Bad Translation
  • Dark Souls 3 bad translation
  • Bad translation of Elden's Circle

📥 Installation Guide

**Basic installation:**

  • Download the latest version from the Mod Engine 2 release page
  • Extract the contents of **this module** to the `mod` directory in ME2
  • If there are other ME2 modules to be used together, also move them to the `mod` directory of the current version
  • Use `launchmod_eldenring.bat` to launch the game

**For use with randomizer:**

  • Requires extra steps as the randomizer usually uses its own copy of ME2
  • Deselect "Edit BOSS Name" in randomization settings
  • Use "Merge other mods" and select this mod directory
  • **Must be disabled** Trader Carl's prompts, otherwise the randomizer will not be able to merge mods

💡 Notes

  • ModEngine2 is now deprecated, but me3 is not officially released yet
  • Profanity/vulgar content is not checked, it is entirely up to Google Translate
  • The author of this mod was unaware of the existence of a poorly translated version of Elden's Circle at the time of creation
  • Expanded text translation for DLC content

🎯 **Gameplay**: Get ready for a completely different Elden Circle experience! Every menu, every item description, every dialogue will become mysterious and interesting, allowing you to "learn" the language of this game again!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
