[AtomicTorch_ModsLocalizationUtility]

AtomicTorch_ModsLocalizationUtility is a functional tool, but it has some drawbacks that can make it difficult to translate VoidExpanse language files:

• The program's resolution is too large and does not scale correctly in full screen.
  This can be a problem for users with low-resolution monitors.
• Language files are displayed in 4 general categories.
  This can make it difficult to track files and keep files up-to-date.
• The tool lacks additional information that can be useful when making a translation.

That's why I present VoidTranslator
A tool designed to make the translation of the game language files faster and more comfortable.


VoidTranslator Features:

• Smooth file navigation: Switch between translation files quickly and easily, even if you have a lot of files open.
• Small initial window: VoidTranslator starts with a small window, perfect for working on laptops or computers with limited screen space.
• Full screen window: The full screen window adapts perfectly.
• Find text in all files: Quickly find the text you need in all translation files.
• Highlight matches: VoidTranslator highlights the cells that match your search query, so you can see them at a glance.
• Number of lines: Get information about the number of lines in each translation file.
• Number of changes: Check the number of lines that have been modified in each file.
• Separate change saving: VoidTranslator saves changes to each language file separately, making collaborative work easier.
• Compatible with any system: VoidTranslator works on any system running Python / PyQt5, including Windows, macOS, Linux and Haiku.

Missing features of VoidTranslator:

• You cannot create language MODs.
  You can add the language directly in the game language folder (VoidExpanse\Core\data\languages).
  In case you want to create the MOD, you can use AtomicTorch_ModsLocalizationUtility anyway.
• Display multiple language files/columns simultaneously.
  I think it is not really necessary when you only want to translate from English to any language (usually).
• Import/Export CSV
  You don't need to edit any CSV file having VoidTranslator.

In addition to VoidTranslator, there are two simple tools that I recommend using first, VoidFilter and VoidRenamer.

VoidFilter is used to filter all the language files in a folder, deleting the rest of the files.


VoidRenamer is used to rename all language files, e.g. change all "en_us" files to "es_es".

[AtomicTorch_ModsLocalizationUtility]

I downloaded AtomicTorch_ModsLocalizationUtility
The first time I run the program it shows the following error:

Parsing exception: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VoidExpanse\Core\data\languages'.

Which basically just needs you to make the following folder structure of the Core folder:
\data\languages\localization

But then I run the program again, it gives the following error:

Parsing exception: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

I'm new and I really have no idea how to start, I would like to get the English language files and start translating without much problem
