Translations Helper

Mod for helping modders that maintain huge amounts of prefabs and want to provide translations files for those. This mod will help you pre-generate all translations files that you need to provide with your .dll in English language. Any prefabs that have a missing m_name or m_description will be printed with a String ("[token name]") that shows missing translation.

At Krumpac's Reforge mod pack we are using this mod to keep track of the 1600 added prefabs and all their translations, which would be a lot of work without automation.

Features

Load this together with your other .dlls and in-game use F5 (using -console) and type print_translations_to_file, this will generate all available (non-vanilla) prefabs into 1 file per BepInExPlugin that adds this prefab.

Valheim Types supported

Output available for in-game Valheim types:

ItemDrop
Piece
Character
Smelter
Fermenter
CookingStation
Incinerator
OfferingBowl
SapCollector
Beehive
HoverText

For the simpler types the mod will use the m_name and m_description fields located inside those types, the pre-generated translation String is taken from any available text that comes with the prefab or the mod that introduced it. More complex types that have additional texts or switches will also have those printed.

Filter output

You can also specify 1 argument to the console command to apply prefix filtering for the outputs:

print_translations_to_file my_mod_prefix_

This will then just output prefabs that have their internal name starting with "my_mod_prefix_" and will also just generate files for .dlls where this prefix is available.
