Valley Girls - i18n Patch (Content Patcher)

This patch transforms Valley Girls dialogues/events to use i18n (Content Patcher), without redistributing the original content.

Result: the mod becomes properly translatable (EN by default via i18n/default.json).

• Requirements: SMAPI 4.x, Content Patcher, original ‘Valley Girls’ mod.

• Installation: Replace the original files from the Valley Girls mod with the files from this patch.

• Scope: Dialogue + Events (replacements with {{i18n:...}} tokens).

• No assets (portraits, sprites) are included.

• Patch created on Valley Girl version 3. 6. 0

------------

Purpose: to convert all dialogues/events in the Valley Girls mod to i18n format (Content Patcher keys), without redistributing assets.

Usefulness: to make the mod properly translatable (and maintainable) into any language.

🌟 Why this patch?

• [] Clean translations: texts are no longer ‘hard-coded’ in event/dialogue JSON files; they go through i18n keys ({{i18n:...}}).

  [] Easy maintenance: when Valley Girls is updated, you just need to add/modify keys (instead of searching for bits of sentences in long files).

  [] Compatibility: English is still provided via i18n/default.json (fallback CP). Language packs can be added without affecting the mod's logic.

  [] Security: this patch only changes text and does not contain any assets (no images/portraits/sounds).

  🎯 Theme & objective

  • [] Theme: Valley Girls focused on additional dialogue/events.

    [] Objective: to expose all textual content via consistent and stable i18n keys (e.g. Haley. Summer. Tue. 001, Choice. Night. Yes).

    [] Scope:

  Dialogue of the NPCs concerned (Data/Dialogue/, Characters/Dialogue/ as appropriate),

  Events (Data/Events/, including MarriageEvents).

  ✅ What the patch actually does

  • [] Replaces text values with i18n tokens ({{i18n:Key}}).

    [] Provides an i18n/default.json file (English) containing 1 key per line/fragment.

    [] Leaves the logic (conditions, TextOperations, loading orders) intact.
