Dynamic Translation Framework

If you are here because another mod listed this as a requirement, you do not need to read further and can proceed to download.

This is a framework mod for Skyrim SE/AE that lets other mods change UI text and in-game strings at runtime.

By itself it does nothing for players -- it's a tool for mod authors.

If you are an author interested in using this mod, please see the wiki page that explains everything in detail!

Skyrim translations are static (specified in files).

Dynamic Translation Framework (DTF) allows other mods to send their custom texts for keys that start with `$` (localization strings), like

$MY_CUSTOM_TITLE

$MY_DYNAMIC_MESSAGE

Result: your mod can generate text/translations on the fly

You have two ways to provide dynamic translations:

1. JSON-based providers

You create (very simple) JSON files in

Data\SKSE\Plugins\DynamicTranslationFramework

Inside the JSON, you write

1) the localization strings you are interested in

2) the name of your SKSE plugin or the EditorID of the form your Papyrus script is attached to -- DTF will call these to obtain your custom translation.

2. Papyrus API

This mod also exposes a (native) Papyrus function so you can provide dynamic translations at runtime whenever you want.

Documentation & Examples

Full documentation, examples, and signatures (C++ & Papyrus) are on the GitHub wiki:

QTR-Modding/DynamicTranslationFrameworkSE Wiki

If you are a mod author, start there -- it covers JSON format, required fields, and example SKSE/Papyrus implementations.
