WKTranslator

A translation utility for White Knuckle designed to provide localization options for the community.

Purpose

This mod serves as a localization solution for players to enjoy the game in their native languages before official localization is officially implemented in the game itself. It acts as a bridge to ensure the game is accessible to a wider audience during its development.

While the mod is currently in a functional stage, it provides the core framework needed to begin translating in-game content.

Features

Bridge Localization: Fills the gap until official language support is added.
Text Replacement: Hooks into game text elements to allow for custom string overrides.
Image / Audio Replacement: Allows Replacing virtually any texture or audio in the game.
Custom Fonts: Has custom fonts for certain languages, if any font doesn't work, see below how to solve that.
Lightweight: Minimal impact on game performance.

How to Translate?

Join the WK Modding Server, connect with others that also want to translate to the language of your choice (in the #translations channel). And finally translate it on my Weblate Instance. Please for the love of everything, don't do it solo, always communicate with others

Help, the font doesn't look right

Please Join the WK Modding Server and contact me (galfar.exe) or (achelia) to add your desired font into the mod, so it would display correctly :D
