💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're new to modding, start with a simple esp file to get familiar with the interface before tackling complex translations.
  • Always keep a backup of your original files before editing, as xTranslator can modify them directly.
  • Check the mod's forum or comments for user guides, since the description doesn't detail all features.
