Iavra’s Localization

A long time ago, a person named Iavra made localization plugins for RPG Maker MV. We use them in our game, and they are fully compatible with MZ. Right now, we only have English in our game, but it is literally a TURNKEY operation to make the game have multiple languages – at least if someone is willing to translate the near 200,000 words of text we will have at the end of the game.

The system puts all the text of the game in one JSON file, and that includes everything used in menus and pop-ups as well, so we can also just translate the menu text and leave the rest in English – allowing players to quickly see menu items in their native languages even if the dialogue remains in English.

Changing languages can become just a menu selection!
