Lang Files in MultiMC

Post by jackatthekilns »

I am working on a Latin translation for Better than Wolves (and, so help me Deco) I know how to add the .lang files to the mod .zips but where does MultiMC keep the minecraft .jars? I don't see them in the instance folders. Please help me find what is probably an easy solution staring me in the face.

I think the easiest way to do so would be to install the lang files like a mod, aka put them in a lang folder which is then inside a zip. You can technically tell MultiMC to use a custom jar (that's what I did for a while to use MCPatcher with MultiMC) but adding the lang files like a mod would be much simpler.

I will try that when I get the Deco file finished.

OK, so something odd is happening. All of my wool still displays its color in English even though the word for wool (lāna) is correctly in Latin. I can't find anywhere in my lang files where White Wool (for example) is listed. I checked the Mexican Spanish localization (vanilla only) and it is listed as White Wool so for whatever reason, it is reading the Latin for wool, but not the colors.

Based on the code it should be under "tile.cloth.<color>.name", which all the other colors are. However, white wool is listed only as "Wool" under the translation entry, so somehow the "White" part must be hardcoded somewhere.

The White was just an example. It is happening with all of the colors of wool. I have changed all of the entries but it still shows the English for the color
