Custom Localizations

Over the past few weeks we have implemented a secure system to supply custom localizations for ESO. Here are the steps for setting up a custom localization:
  1. Choose a prefix for your language. Any two letter string is valid, but we would recommend sticking to the official language codes.
  2. In the addons folder make an “EsoUI” folder, and then a “lang” folder inside of that.
  3. Inside the “lang” folder make <prefix>_pregame.str and <prefix>_client.str files. These files will contain UTF-8 encoded text.
  4. Fill out the .str files with lines of the form: [<stringId>] = “text”. For example: [SI_ACCOUNT_NAME] = “Translated Account Name”.
  5. In the addons folder make a “gamedata” folder, and then a “lang” folder inside of that.
  6. Inside the “lang” folder place a translated <prefix>.lang file.
  7. Set the game language to your new prefix and the game will load your localization files.
The goal is to get this into the next patch right now. Please leave any questions or feedback here.
