Introduction

Lesta Games itself do not distribute English localization files with Mir Korabley, So we need to add English localization manually with a modification.

LocalizedKorabli provides a usable English localization with text translated by generative AI, with basic human proofreading.

Installation

There are 2 ways to install localization:

1. Via LocalizedKorabli I18n Installer

LocalizedKorabli provides a GUI tool to install the latest available localization smoothly.

Steps:

  • Visit I18nInstallerGUI’s latest release.

  • Go to Assets, click the executable file listed to download it.

  • Run the executable to install the I18n Installer.

  • Run the I18n Installer. Don’t worry if you forget to select “Create a desktop shortcut” during the installation process and then unfortunately can’t find the Installer. You will find it in the Start Menu.

  • If the game is running, close it.

  • Select the right game dir, choose your desired I18n Source (GitLab - Faster download; GitHub - Always up-to-date), and click Install I18n.

  • After the installation is complete, a prompt window will pop up. Then you are all set!

2. Install Manually

Steps:

  • Visit LocalizedKorabli’s post on the Mir Korabley official forum.

  • Click the red СКАЧАТЬ / DOWNLOAD button to redirect to Google Drive file sharing page.

  • Click the download button in the upper right corner.

  • Locate the installation path of Mir Korabley client, usually X:/Games/Korabli.

  • Go to the bin folder where you may see multiple folders named with more than 7 digits, e.g. 8801689. Select the two of these folders with the largest values and perform the following.

  • Go to the designated “digits” folder, and then go to the res_mods folder.

  • If the game is running, close it.

  • Unzip the downloaded .zip file to res_mods.

  • The final directory structure will be like this below (assume that the designated folders are 8801322 and 8801689):

Game Directory
└─bin
    ├─8801322
    │   └─res_mods
    │       │   locale_config.xml
    │       └─texts
    │           └─ru
    │              └─LC_MESSAGES
    │                   global.mo
    │
    └─8801689
        └─res_mods
            │   locale_config.xml
            └─texts
                └─ru
                   └─LC_MESSAGES
                        global.mo ******

Q&A

  • Q: Armory and dockyard unlocalized?

    A: Those are website pages displayed by the game’s built-in browser and are not able to be localized via GetText MO localization.

  • Q: After a certain startup, the game shows up in Russian again?

    A: The build number folder in the bin directory is replaced with each version update, just reinstall the localization mod.

  • Q: What if there are mistranslated or untranslated texts?

    A: Go to Korabli-LESTA-I18N’s issues and create a new issue.
