📋 About This Mod
This is a localisation mod that changes the in-game text spellings from American English to English (or British English if you prefer). It also fixes most of the typographical and grammatical errors in the vanilla text. It covers the base Fallout 4 game, official patch updates, Automatron, Wasteland Workshop, Far Harbour, and Contraptions Workshop DLC.
It's not that the version of English that is found in America is wrong, it's just not the same as the English taught in England, Australia, and so on. For those of us who were taught this version of English it helps us with immersion in the game as we don't continually see what are spelling mistakes to us. Imagine if you were forced to use this mod and grew up with Americanised English? Yes, it would be annoying for you too. So try to see things from our perspective. If you don't like it - just move along. There's nothing to see here.
Please do not upload this mod anywhere without my permission.
My base mod will also work well alongside the excellent Extended Dialogue Interface mod by reg2k and Neanka.
New Fallout 4 patch - v1. 10. 50 (Creation Club):
I have updated my mod for the latest update from Bethesda.
Unfortunately, the Creation Club (CC) as it currently stands places text inside the base game string files that are only related to paid items in the CC. That means that whenever new items are added to the CC the base game string files will probably need to be updated as well.
Fingers crossed that Bethesda find a better way for the Creation Club to function so that it doesn't need to patch the base game every time it updates the CC (i.e. using its own separate string files, like the official DLC does).
Optional File Information
--------------------------------
I have added an optional file for download that is a conversion of the Full Dialogue Interface (FDI) mod by Cirosan and shadwar. That file just contains the string files that you need to convert the FDI mod to UK English. This has been done with the full consent of Cirosan as it is his US English string files that I have used to convert to UK English.
I have also added an optional compatibility version of English Strings for Fallout 4 for use alongside the DEF_UI mod by Neanka and Valdacil. It includes the extra strings added by DEF_UI merged with my Translate_en.txt file.
Usage of the Optional Files:
1. Install the FDI and/or DEF_UI mods first.
2. Then install my optional file. Let it overwrite any existing files.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,790 endorsements and 93k downloads.
- Fixes typos and grammar, making the game read cleaner.
- Great for British English speakers who want consistent spelling.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — may not be compatible with current game patches or DLCs.
- Only covers the base game, so DLC text remains American.
For Fallout 4 players who are bothered by American spellings and want a more authentic British English experience. Also for those who appreciate polished text without typos. Skip if you're fine with American English or play with mods that alter dialogue text.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a text-only mod, load order doesn't matter much, but place it after any mods that change dialogue or UI text to ensure your changes stick.
- If you use a mod manager, install it like any other mod; if manual, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable in the launcher.
- Check if any DLC patches exist on the mod page, as this only covers the base game.
