The working notes, the roadmap, the glossary and the review notes are on the wiki; README points there. assets/Translation.xml stays -- it is the mod. 1.0.0: both the base game and Echoes of the Eye are translated, which was the whole goal. manifest.json said 0.1.0 because nothing had ever changed it.

# 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 the [Roadmap](https://git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod/wiki/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](https://github.com/ow-mods/owml) mod that registers a
|
|
new language through **[Interplanetary Polyglot / Localization Utility](https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/interplanetarypolyglot/)**
|
|
(`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
|
|
|
|
1. Install the **[Outer Wilds Mod Manager](https://outerwildsmods.com/mod-manager/)**.
|
|
2. Install this mod through the Mod Manager. Its dependency **Interplanetary
|
|
Polyglot** (`xen.LocalizationUtility`) will be pulled in automatically.
|
|
3. Launch the game via the Mod Manager.
|
|
4. In **Settings → Language**, choose **Slovenčina**.
|
|
- Tip: the optional [Language Swap](https://outerwildsmods.com/mods/languageswap/)
|
|
mod lets you switch language in-game with `Ctrl+L`.
|
|
|
|
> Until the first release is published, the mod is not yet in the Mod Manager
|
|
> database — see the [Roadmap](https://git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod/wiki/Roadmap) for 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 in `assets/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 like `POKE:`.
|
|
- Follow the terminology in the [Glossary](https://git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod/wiki/Glossary) so names (Nomai, the Eye, Ash Twin
|
|
Project, …) stay consistent across the whole game.
|
|
|
|
See the [Working notes](https://git.houmeres.sk/Houmeres/Outer-Wilds-SK-Translation-Mod/wiki/Working-notes) for the full conventions and repo layout.

were never baked with Slovak caron glyphs, so those labels are redrawn with a font
|
|
that has them — preferably one of the game's own dynamic fonts, and Cabin only where
|
|
it ships none. See [`SlovakFont.cs`](SlovakFont.cs), and the `preferGameTypeface`
|
|
setting if you would rather have Cabin everywhere.
