About this mod Machine translation
Added full custom unofficial language support for Stardew Valley. This framework allows you to translate the base game and any mods into any language you want.
Additional Languages - An i18n Support Framework
🎯 **A powerful international support framework makes Stardew Valley truly multilingual! **
🌟 Core functions
**Translate Base Game** — Full support for original game text translation
**Automatic Mod Support** — Instantly compatible with any mod using the i18n system
**18 preconfigured languages** — Includes base files to support:

📝 Basic Game Translation Guide
The included files only contain English text, you will need to translate it yourself:
- Open `Mods/Additional Languages/languages/[your language].json`
- Replace the English text with your translation
- Save the file and restart the game
🌍 Add new language
- Copy `languages/base.json` and rename it to `languages/xx.json` (replace xx with your language code)
- Edit the top section:
```
"LanguageCode": "xx",
"DisplayName": "Your language"
```
- Translate English text
- Update `config.json` to `"CurrentLanguage": "xx"`
🔧 Module Translation
This framework automatically handles modules that use SMAPI's built-in translation system, no additional setup is required!
- The mod stores translations in its i18n folder
- You just add or edit the file with your language code
- The framework ensures that all content loads correctly in the game
💡 IMPORTANT NOTE
- All included language files contain English text only - must be translated manually
- Contains more than 17,500 basic game keys (dialogue, items, UI, etc.)
- Fully compatible with all modules using the SMAPI translation system
- No pre-made translations included - this is a framework for building your own translations

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
