How to find and edit game text files?

Getting Started

Hi!,

I downloaded UnityEX, but what I want to do, is edit a Steam game text files, in order to translate it.

But, I thought that this would be as “easy”, as to extract some .pak files and edit them and repack, but I don’t know where to find the text files or how to use this tool.

Any tip would be appreciated.

Thanks

No, it’s not easy; there are generally no text files of the sort you’re imagining. The game would need to be designed for translation. You should contact the developer of the game.

Games without any translation typically have their text directly in the UI text object’s field, or within some script which pushes it to that field. A game with at least 1 additional translation usually has a translation system built which pulls the text from some other file, such as XML, JSON, or whatever they choose. So a game that already has a translation is generally far easier to add an additional translation than a game with no translations.
