Language Localization

🌐 What Can You Customize?

The EHR Mod supports full text customization using editable language files. You can override role names, system messages, role descriptions, and practically anything text-based in the mod.

This guide walks you through setting up your own custom translations.

📂 Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣ Locate Your Game Directory

Depending on your platform:

Steam:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Among Us

Epic Games:
```
C:\Program Files\AmongUs
```

Microsoft Store:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\InnerSloth.LLC-AmongUs_8wekyb3d8bbwe

2️⃣ Open the `Language` Folder

If it doesn’t exist, just launch the game once to generate it automatically.

[Among Us Folder]/Language/

3️⃣ Clone the `template.dat` File

Make a copy of template.dat to preserve the original.

4️⃣ Rename the File

Rename your copy to match your in-game language, for example:

English.dat

Other examples:

Spanish.dat
German.dat

✅ The name must match the language set in-game.

5️⃣ Customize the Translations

Open the .dat file with a plain text editor like Notepad or VS Code.

Each line follows this format:

KEY: Custom Translation

Example:

ROLE_JESTER: Joker

You can delete lines you don’t want to override.
Only lines with changed translations need to stay in the file.

6️⃣ Reload Translations In-Game

If the game is already running:

Press F5 + T to reload translations

Or just restart the game to apply your custom localization.

🔍 Finding Translation Keys

The complete list of default strings and their keys can be found in the official language file:

📄 Resources/Lang/en_US.json

You can search this file by role, message, or section.

🎉 You now have full control over how your game looks and reads. Whether you’re localizing to a new language or just rewording roles, EHR gives you the freedom to personalize your experience.
