Core Tech

Localization Support

We’ve recreated functionality for our community localization volunteers to build and use their own translations via a localized global.ini file. Instruction on how and where to insert the file into your Star Citizen directories are below.

Technical Steps:

For our community localization volunteers: We now will allow a localized global.ini file to be used for translations and supported by a variety of new fonts. Instructions on how and where to insert translation files into your Star Citizen directories are below.

1. Create a new folder in the following directory: \StarCitizen\LIVE\data\Localization\New Folder
2. Rename the folder to one of the following:

chinese_(simplified)
chinese_(traditional)
english
french_(france)
german_(germany)
italian_(italy)
japanese_(japan)
korean_(south_korea)
polish_(poland)
portuguese_(brazil)
spanish_(latin_america)
spanish_(spain

3. Put your previously translated global.ini file into the new folder.
4. Add one line from below of CVAR into your “user.cfg” file in your \StarCitizen\LIVE folder

g_language = chinese_(simplified)
g_language = chinese_(traditional)
g_language = english
g_language = french_(france)
g_language = german_(germany)
g_language = italian_(italy)
g_language = japanese_(japan)
g_language = korean_(south_korea)
g_language = polish_(poland)
g_language = portuguese_(brazil)
g_language = spanish_(latin_america)
g_language = spanish_(spain)

5. Launch the game as normal and the localization should work.
