I require help regarding translation.

[Scimitar]

I read the tutorial but I'm a pretty dumb individual and didn't manage to understand how to translate a mod.
Could an experienced translator tell me what files to translate, and where are they?
I hope this isn't the wrong section, if so please have the kindness to move it to the correct one.
Thank you for your attention!

if you expect help you will need to include more information.

1) Which tutorial did you read? Link it

2) Which part are you having trouble with?

3) What have you being able to do so far?

It is pretty simple to setup, but it would be pointless to re-explain stuff already in the tutorial, so more details dude

The language files for the Launcher and Main Menu are in the languages folder under the game directory. For the module it's in the languages folder under the module folder.

There are the following languages:
Chinese(Simplified) - in folder cns
Chinese(Traditional) - folder cnt
Deutsch - folder de
English - folder en (not in the module's language folder, it's hardcoded in the module)
Francais - folder fr
Turcke - folder tr

Choose any of them, use a text editor to open the files. Below you see some values from english uimain file:
ui_play|Play Mount&Blade Warband
ui_check_for_new_version|Check For New Version
ui_configure|Configure
ui_configure_caption|Configure

those are key|value pairs, with a vertical bar between them to define the key(left) and the value(right).
You must not change the key, only the value.

After, obviously, select the language that you have translated in the game options.

Sorry for the bad english.

Hey thanks a lot!
This clears my mind up, however I still am not getting access to the EN folder.
One of the tutorials I read said we had to download mb_module_system, however it's using python and all that and I can't even launch it.
So, can you explain how can I manage to get to the folder?

1) I honestly can't find it anywhere anymore, but I didn't really understand anything at all - just that it was in the languages folder.

2) Cannot access original dialog file, in english.

3) ...access the languages folder?

Let's assume that you want to translate the Native warband module.
if you chose to translate the english version, you need to build a new Native module, see here how to mod the Mount&Blade Warband

How to find the game directory:
Steam version: go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\mountblade warband
Non-steam: go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mount&Blade Warband

Translation is not done via modding the game source. You simple go into windowed mode, create a new language pack (one of the options there) and copy/move the correct folder.

Rest is done via text/Excel as it just a few .csv files
