- Right click on the game in Steam's Library and choose "Properties"
- Go to Local Files tab and choose to Browse Local Files[
- Navigate to the Ignis Universia_Data / Streaming Assets Folder


You should now see two folders: Default and UTJ.


Default is where the game's text files reside. Copy the Default folder and paste it to the Streaming Assets folder. Rename to the new folder how you want (e.g. the name of the language you want to translate to.

There are several text files in the folder, you can use any text editor to edit them. Here's what they contain:

content.txt - This file tells the game where to find all the data and also has some additional translations. See below for further instructions

dialogue.txt - This file houses most of the game's text, which is all the dialogues. See below for editing the dialogue

intro.txt - The first part of the intro where you click on the text to advance it
scroll1.txt - The first text on the scrolling background
scroll2.txt - The second text on the scrolling background
credits.txt - The game's credits


The content.txt file tells the game where to find specific information. The basic format is <identifier> = <content>, where the identifier is predetermined. If you supply a text file name as the content, the game will read it from that file.

There are two extra commands that are not used in the game's default text:
#font = <font> - Five extra fonts are included with the game:

* Japanese
* Cyrillic
* Extended
* Extended2
* Extended3

The Japanese is a font with Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana characters, Cyrillic is for Russian and Extended fonts are Latin fonts with a number of extra characters not used in the English language.

#scale = x% - Controls the size of the texts. 100% is the default size of the font.

#<character> = <name> - Since in some languages (e.g. Japanese) the character names may also differ, this command is used to tell the game how to associate a translated name from the dialogue with a specific character, e.g. #Silvanna = シルバンナ.

The dialogue.txt is a relatively simple file with all the dialogues within the game. Each dialogue is placed under a header, denoted by square brackets


You can ignore all the lines that are not explicitly dialogue and start with a special character like !, -> or %.

For the game to properly parse the dialogue, you need to use the basic ASCII ':' colon to separate the name and the dialogue line. Some languages may have their own character by default, so be careful here!


Once you have the translated files in the Streaming Assets folder, go to Steam and right-click on the game in the Library. Choose "Properties" and under the "General" tab, click on the "Set Launch Options". In the text box, type "language <language>", where the latter term is the name of the folder you used.
