The Sims 4 Translator

I don't know much English, so I used a translator to describe it. I'm sorry about that

This is a simple program for easy translation of mods for The Sims 4.

IMPORTANT
I HAVE STOPPED SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT. ANYONE CAN CONTINUE WORKING ON IT. SOURCES CAN BE FOUND ON GITHUB!

Unfortunately, the site modthesims.info stopped supporting downloading archives with other archives inside. This program applies specifically to this case, so all new updates will be available only on GitHub.

Features:

• The translation of mods can be saved in dictionaries, which saves you from re-translating if new versions are released.
• Saving the translation as a separate file, or adding it directly to the mod.
• Saving translations from multiple mods to a single file.

Usage Instructions:

• In the settings, select the languages you plan to translate from and to.
• Open the mod (*.package)
• Translate.
• Save the dictionary if you plan to edit the translation or are going to translate new versions of the mod.
• Save the translation in a separate package or save the translation immediately in an open mod (finalization).
• Profit.

Install Instructions:
This is a standalone application and does not require installation.

Interface languages:
- English
- Russian
- Chinese (by Tina.)
- Spanish (by Onnya)
- Polish (by Simowe Osiedle)
- German (by Ulrike)

Starting from version 1.2, the translation of the interface has been made into separate files. They are available in the folder:



To add a new translation, you need to place the XML file with the new translation in this folder.

Troubleshooting:
If you are experiencing startup problems (error "ImportError: DLL load failed"), try installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019

The idea is taken from the app xTranslator (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/134)
