An attempt to see and play Deadlock in Vietnamese texts. A (sort of) localisation project.
Deadlock is a currently in-early-development game by Valve Software. There are already several community translation projects, and this will possibly become one.
started as personal fun during secret times of the game's playtest, I decided to bring it on up here for people to help people installing the language files and play the game in Vietnamese language. Still in progress, and need more improvement. I also hope if one day Valve developers decide to add Vietnamese to be included in a next game update, and this translation, for now, is a temporary a something empty-filler.
This repo may work as either a stable or temporary basis to wait and see if there are any other similar project for Vietnamese localisation efforts. I am happy to help any of them if possible.
currently there are 5 folders with Vietnamese lang file which were not translated before (contain nothing more than just a few code lines indicating the language name) and then filled up with English translations as placeholder, located in \steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel\resource\localization: (citadel_ prefix) main, mods, heroes, attributes, gc.
There are some progress of replacing English texts inside with the main file which contain GUI text for main menu and basic UI texts. In early stage which is apprx. 30-35% complete.
You are absolutely welcome to jump in! For the fairest dinkum localisation efforts, it is recommended that you have played the game before (so that you can check for faults and also to know about the game itself), getting well with gaming terms and item naming, descriptions, etc., a bit salty wording is okay but don't break the overall intention of developers. And ultimately, it is the best to be a native Vietnamese knowing all these stuff, though not required, just anyone with a competent knowledge of the language is fine. That's why I am needing help right now. I feel that only myself might not do them all well, and any translation inside there could be not at its peak accuracy. Thanks mates. Edit: an irl friend joined me and helped a bit. thanks!
Just download the repo source code here, unzip the localization folder and copy/move the said folder into this directory (accept the overwrite files dialog): [...]\steamapps\common\Deadlock\game\citadel\resource, where [...] is where your Steam Library is located, i.e. where your Steam games are to be installed into.
You can also press the gear icon in Steam Library interface of your game, or right click on game name and select Manage > Browse local files to get into game folder quickly.
And follow the above directory to find into the resource folder.
Now we need another take to force display in a prescribed language. Press the gear icon/right click like above again, but choose properties, then add some lines to the launch options -language vietnamese. Enjoy and have fun!
