48 Nomai lines: the quantum shard, the Quantum Moon locator, the wandering-rock / quantum-travel experiments, Coleus's disappearance and the search for him, and the Ember Twin shelter-path directions (Coleus, Melorae, Bur, Annona, Thatch, Plume). Coleus & Melorae masculine (no English gender cue). Kept the pre-discovery moon names (putujúci / prízračný mesiac), the potulný kameň / Jaskyňa na dne jazera glossary terms, and Melorae's "my sedimentary friend" geologist humor. Picked up the deferred line 1224. Verified: XML well-formed; keys identical; only these 48 values changed; markup parity; ship log/UI/rest byte-unchanged; mod builds.

Outer Wilds — Slovenský preklad / Slovak Translation Mod
Neoficiálny slovenský preklad hry Outer Wilds (základná hra + rozšírenie Echoes of the Eye). Pridáva do hry jazyk Slovenčina.
An unofficial Slovak (slovenčina) translation mod for Outer Wilds, covering the base game and the Echoes of the Eye DLC.
Stav / Status: 🚧 Work in progress — the mod scaffold and translation are
being built. See PLAN.md for the roadmap.
Outer Wilds officially ships in 12 languages; Slovak is not one of them. This mod adds it as a new selectable language using the community localization framework — no changes to the game's own files are required.
How it works
The mod is a small OWML mod that registers a
new language through Interplanetary Polyglot / Localization Utility
(xen.LocalizationUtility). All translated text lives in a single
assets/Translation.xml; the utility swaps the game's strings for the Slovak ones
at runtime.
Installation
- Install the Outer Wilds Mod Manager.
- Install this mod through the Mod Manager. Its dependency Interplanetary
Polyglot (
xen.LocalizationUtility) will be pulled in automatically. - Launch the game via the Mod Manager.
- In Settings → Language, choose Slovenčina.
- Tip: the optional Language Swap
mod lets you switch language in-game with
Ctrl+L.

PLAN.mdfor how to build it from source.
Contributing / Prispievanie
Translation fixes are very welcome — the goal is natural, consistent Slovak.
- Report mistranslations or awkward phrasing as an issue.
- Edit only the
<value>of each entry inassets/Translation.xml. Never change the<key>— it is the English identifier the game matches on. - Preserve all inline formatting exactly, e.g.
<color=orange>…</color>,<i>, and speaker prefixes likePOKE:. - Follow the terminology in
docs/glossary.mdso names (Nomai, the Eye, Ash Twin Project, …) stay consistent across the whole game.
