Hello. I'm wondering if someone would be willing to guide me and help me with localizing Mortal Kombat X on PC - ie adding another language into the game.
I want to mainly localize text (subtitles) and possibly graphics (depending on how the menus are stored).
I have a general understanding of things, but haven't modded anything Unreal yet.
Mortal Kombat X seems to be harder to mod since its engine has been heavily updated since the last game, but perhaps messing with the language files won't be as hard as playing with the models and textures.
Initially I wanted to abandon the idea altogether, but seeing how much progress Gildor alone has made with the game in such a short time, I think collectively there's a chance for us to come up with something.
The actual translation, though, I will obviously have to do myself
Now to the process of getting there...
I have read through dumping and cooking, but it's a bit confusing.

Going through the game files, I think I've managed to find all the ones I'm interested in, but there might be more I have overlooked.

I will be translating into an European/Slavic language, so that should make things easier. Especially if Polish is already in the game.
I doubt anyone has a step by step guide this early, but if someone can come up with something...
