ChineseRetranslation
A Simplified Chinese re-translation of "Risk of Rain 2" made for me and my friends: rewriting the names and descriptions of items and equipment, fixing a lot of mistranslations, machine translations and ambiguities, adding attack/kill special effect labels and redoing field coloring.
About this mod Machine translation
Riiin Chinese Retranslation
A Simplified Chinese re-translation Mod for "Risk of Rain 2" made for me and my friends.
Some text and development work is assisted by AI, and the final translation is reviewed manually.
Most of the translation problems have been solved, but I have used translations that I think are good, so some places may not be translated word for word according to the original English text. Rather than mechanical literal translation, I care more about whether it reads smoothly in Chinese, whether it looks like a real item name, and whether players can understand what it does at a glance.
This re-translation rearranges the item/equipment names and mechanism descriptions of the original version and all DLC, and also adds more novice-friendly mechanism tags such as “attack special effects” and “kill special effects”.
Revised some map names to make them more accurate, natural, and more like normal Chinese place names.
In addition, I recolored the fields in the description.
The original field dyeing was a disaster...
This is not an official translation revision, nor is it a word-by-word comparison list.
Some names will be translated in a more localized way. For example, some original texts would be very stiff if translated literally. I will give priority to names that I think are more natural and playful in Chinese.
So if you pursue "every word must be strictly adhered to the original text", this set of translations may not be suitable for you.
This Mod is an independent Simplified Chinese text Mod.
Covers zh-CN only.
When switching to another language, the original text in the other language should not be modified.
Install
Just install it using r2modman Mod Manager.
When installing manually, put the DLL in:
BepInEx/plugins/Riiin-ChineseRetranslation
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
