Can't add translations to mods

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug
1

  • Game Version: Standard

  • Build Number: v.100.18.56738.0 (581026R)

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue:

Adding multiple language folders in mod makes the mod to not load any strings at all.

The impractical workaround is to release the same mod multiple times, each with a singular and different language with modstrings.txt.

what is modstring.txt ?

From testing with someone else, it seems only one language is detected, we had no issue with no strings being loaded

Let me explain in better detail and maybe you can see what I do wrong.

My mod is setup to have the strings here :

game/data/strings

Inside the “strings” folder, I put my languages. For example :

game/data/strings/english/stringmods.txt
game/data/strings/french/stringmods.txt

Although, when there is more than one language folder, the game stops detecting my texts.

Do you have an example of a mod that is translated in multiple languages? It would be very helpful.

Many multilingual mods are released as standalone language versions, such as an English version, a French version, and so on. If a Chinese version were to be released, it would require yet another separate version, which creates a burden for mod authors.
