Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Language Translation Framework

Author: Sean Pesce

Overview

This mod enables string replacement in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Deus Ex: Breach to facilitate game translation to languages that aren't officially supported (e.g., Turkish). The framework loads in-game strings from a JSON file specified in the configuration, allowing anyone to create or modify their own translation set.

Installation

Copy version.dll, DXMD_Mod.ini, strings.json, and (if necessary) your custom font into the \retail\ directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Deus Ex Mankind Divided\retail).

Note: The latest MSVC Redistributable must be installed to run this mod. If you get an error about a missing vcruntime140_1.dll, you probably don't have it installed.

Keybinds

None yet.

You can change keybinds and other settings by navigating to your \Deus Ex Mankind Divided\retail\ folder and editing DXMD_Mod.ini.
