Switch Language In Game

A Hollow Knight: Silksong mod for supporting language switching in the game.

Features

  • Support language switching in the game.
  • Support language switching via shortcut key. (requires manual configuration first)

Configuration

Recommend using the BepInEx.ConfigurationManager for easy in-game customization of settings.

If you have it installed (press F1 in-game to open the menu), navigate to the "Switch Language in Game" section to adjust options directly—no file editing required.

Alternatively, edit the configuration file located at BepInEx\config\com.demojameson.switchlanguageingame.cfg

To install

It should all be handled for you auto-magically.

Manual

First install BepInEx to your Silksong folder,

(note: this will break how does things)

You can find it at

latest stable is currently 5.4.23.4

After unzipping, run the game once, so that the BepInEx folder structure generates

(ie: there's folders in there apart from just core)

Then pull this DLL, or folder including the dll in to

Hollow Knight Silksong\BepInEx\plugins

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
