Recommended download (for Vintage Story 1.21.0-pre.1 - 1.22.2):
BetterTranslationsv0.0.42.zip 1-click install
Translations from the Community for all kinds of mods.
From the project on Crowdin at https://crowdin.com/project/vintage-story-mods
All credits to the translators!
Allows to update the language files even if the original mod didn't update.
How does it work?
It grabs all the translations from the Crowdin project and adds the translated strings to this mod.
So if you install this you will get the up-to-date translations even for mods that do not update regularly or are abandoned and still work.
This mod will be updated each week by me with new strings if available.

After adding RPVoiceChat to my server, the client started crashing while joining. Once I removed the BetterTranslations mod from the server, the issue stopped. Has anyone else experienced this?
I have translated language files for quite a large number of mods. Is there any way to upload these files to the project? Many of them are included by mod authors in new versions, but some are not and only I have them.
Thanks! No worries, I understand these things can be difficult and take time.
Here are some mods that seems to be outdated on Crowdin:
Soap and Lye
- This mod was previously known as "Just Soap and Lye" with the id "justsoapandlye", but it was renamed to "soapandlye". "justsoapandlye" is still on Crowdin and it actually contains most strings. "soapandlye" is also on Crowdin, but only has a couple of strings.
Purposeful Storage
- This is just missing some strings.
And I found a mod that's not on Crowdin at all:
Canoe mod 1.21
- This is a popular fork of the original mod. Their ids are very similar, the new one is "canoemode", the old one is "canoemod"...
The_Revisionist
You can report any mods that you want to translate and that are out of date so I can update them for you.
Maybe I can work on the script on the weekend but it will be a big change so not very fast thing to implement.
NiclAss
No worries, I understand, I really apprieciate the work you put into this tool/mod.
In the meantime, if I do notice any source files being out of date, should I just report them here?
The_Revisionist
Could be yes. But it can sometimes be hard to fetch certain mods if they contain invalid lang files or modinfos which vintage story supports but not crowdin.
The script has been running for over 2 years now and them amount of mods is getting to big I will have to adjust the script to only update and upload only mods that are downloaded at least 1k times. I think that would make sense.
To limit the amount of files and the work to get it all updated.
I think the script takes like at least 1hr to complete.
NiclAss
Hmm, is it possible that something is wrong with the update script?
I noticed two more mods (both on moddb) that have missing strings on Crowdin, compared to their en.json:
The_Revisionist
The script uploads and updates most mods automatically if its not on moddb I will have to add it manually one sec
How can I request that the source language file (en.json) of a mod be updated on the Crowdin project?
For example, for the mod Hardcore Water
NiclAss Perfect, thanks!
The_Revisionist
Done will see how it goes with the exporting of the language and if its working ingame later on.
Hi, could Hungarian be added to the Crowdin project so that I can translate some mods?
Hi i just translated the Maltiez firearms mod to latin spanish and then saw the priority flag thing so i wanted to give a heads up, because Maltiez directed translators to this project. Also the Combat Overhaul Armory mod seems to be outdated, it has very few strings at least, and i would like to translate it too if you can give it a look, thanks for making this project.
This mod idea is great and i love participating to help people play in french without breaking the immersion.
Also i have to point out because idk how it works but the "A Culinary Artillery" mod seems to have 2 branches. I'm using the experimental one for the new VS version and it doesn't seem to include the translations from the file i updated. Is it something that has to be done on your side ? (i have to add that the translation from the file i update wasn't exactly the same in-game too but maybe waiting for the update will do the trick)
Hi! this is a really interesting concept, and very neat! as the whole model is quite user friendly I've took my time to translate my own mod "Dyed armor" in Latin Spanish, would love to see it being checked and aprooved. I myself prefer to play with the original language, but it is nice for those that want a more familiar enviroment to get used to.
Aldi
They are automatically fetched from the moddb but depending on name changes and stuff duplicates can happen.
also if you define lang in multiple files like under moddomain and game domain you will get 2 files/mod.
I've checked for my class mod and found a few jsons that seem to be outdated and I'm not sure why there are 4 of them.
How does the project get its jsons?
Hi,I really had no idea this mod existed,
and I'm very happy about it.

I know, I know, but just making translations available for download is already something.
animatiV
They are translated by the community btw this is not only me :P
But glad you enjoy it.
Thanks so much for these translations. They're very helpful, and thanks to them, more of the additional content from mods is in the same language as the game, without breaking the immersion.
I'm sorry for the long answer, I just check the mods once a week, but yes, the new update fixed everything, thanks a lot)
0.0.23 fixed it, thanks for the quick update!

Thanks for the report should be fixed now let me know if that did it for you.
I join the commentator from below, I also do not display information about precipitation and temperature.
I'm having a similar issue. Date and time are shown correctly, but the temperature and rainfall info is gone.
Armel
Can you try with the latest version now? I hope that fixed it for the future. Thanks for the report.
Hello! I have the same problem as Credne, if i activate the mod, the timeline disappear, only the month shows
like: Date: May
and that's all
Alright im trying this !
Chrizzlybear
1. Its automated but sometimes modauthors change around stuff and break things for my scripts. So let me know which mod and I can take a look at it.
2. Just drop the issue here in the comment or open a discussion on the crowdin project whatever is best for you.
Hi, I have two questions:
1. How do you manage the new strings from different mods? Do you do it manually or is it automatic? i think you do it manually, because for example the json from battlewors (battletowers_bobodev.json) is not up to date.
2.(If you do it manually) What is the best way to contact you if I find a new string that are not listed in Crowdin?
Credne

Hi i Found a bug with this mod, if i activate it, the timeline is gone, only the month is still there, time and days, year, all gone NiclAss
Lumvik
I moderate the project
you can edit translations on the crowdin project that is linked
It will take on of the mods translation for a vanilla changed translation
Hi, how will the project be moderated in this case? Does anyone have access to editing translations?
What about strings from mods that override the game's original text rather than just translating mod content?
Balaur
The lang files get fused and if duplicates exist one will get priority, I think this mod will overwrite duplicated translations if they exist
But this shouldn't be an issue
What's the priority of the translation? Translation from this modification will be substituted only if there is no localisation on any mod?
This is fantastic :D so even if the mods don't implement the translations, anyone can help translate any mod and it will be usable!
it's great that such a thing exists
Thank you very much, I have no more questionstofiktofik
It grabs all the translations from the crowdin project and adds the translated strings to this mod.
So if you install this you will get the up-to-date translations even for mods that do not update regularly or are abandoned and still work.
This mod will be updated each week by me with new strings if avaible.
Any more questions? Maybe more specific then I can answer it better.
How exactly does it work?
