We sometimes receive requests from players interested in creating a fan localization of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader into languages that are not represented in the game. We are very happy with such enthusiasm and would like to help our fans in such a glorious deed!
We want to share with you a localization tool that you can use to create your own translation:
https://github.com/OwlcatGames/LocalizationTool
This is an open repository that contains the Localization Tool. You can use it for both Rogue Trader and Wrath of the Righteous fan translation/mod-making (you can even utilize it for your own projects).
To start the fan translation process, you should feed the tool with the game strings. As for Rogue Trader, you can find them inside a mod template archive that is stored on your computer (the game should be installed on your device). The example path for Steam - Steam\steamapps\common\Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader\Modding\WhRtModificationTemplate.tar
The text lines in the tool are divided into columns for ease of searching and translation. You can quickly find the needed line or term in it.
In addition, this tool allows you to conveniently edit any in-game text, for example, correct existing dialogue lines or descriptions. This may be of particular interest to mod creators.
We will be thrilled if this helps you in your endeavors!
