MCM menu localization guide and open source text editing tool NotePad++ download

The Chinese version of the MCM menu is usually the config.json file in the Data\MCM\Config\plugin English name folder of the plug-in;

The Json file is actually a text file, but it is recommended to use a text editing tool to open it, such as NotePad++, because it is necessary to maintain the encoding format of the file (usually UTF8, and some Western European language encodings). If you open it with the system's own Notepad, it is easy to save it as GB2312, which will cause the MCM to become garbled after reading;

There are also some multi-language versions of MOD whose config.json uses variables to call language files. The called language TXT is usually in \Data\Interface\Translations. This TXT also needs to be opened and edited with a text editor. Do not use the built-in Notepad.

"displayName": "Production station item highlighting repair", //This is the name of the module displayed in the main menu on the left in the MCM menu;

All "text" tags are texts that need to be translated, and the "help" tag is the help text information displayed by the low-end MCM when the mouse is placed on the option text, which also needs to be translated;

The "options" tag is a single option that provides a variety of small options and also needs to be translated;

Basically, it’s nothing. After you’ve translated it, go into the game and take a look. If there’s anything you haven’t translated in English, just find the corresponding text in the file and translate it. You’ll get proficient after reading it a few times. It’s very simple;
