-
Download en.bat and res_en.zip from the Releases page.
-
Put both files in the game directory and run en.bat.
-
In a Steam installation, this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Phineas and Ferb New Inventions\
-
Alternatively that directory may be in the \Program Files\ instead of \Program Files (x86)\
-
-
It will ask you for some options.
-
For the base game files, any language can be selected, according to your preferences.
-
For the additional credits, it is recommended to select "y" unless you have already installed with additional credits. In that case select "n". (Eiim does not currently remember if it breaks in this scenario)
-
Afterwards, run Lang.exe to set the language to English.
Python 3 is required.
Run CsvToXml.py with P&F NI Translation Spreadsheet - Sheet1.csv in the same folder. It will output texts.xml which can be installed via the install instructions above.
CsvToXml.py takes a csv with translation information and constructs an XML file which can be used for the patch. Currently, it is hardcoded to take a csv with the name "P&F NI Translation Spreadsheet - Sheet1.csv" with string IDs in the first column and English translation in the 8th column, from the second row down. These parameters may be relaxed in the future, but are also easy to change by editing the file.
The most up-to-date csv file can be retrieved from this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WyuN7qDPnx94T2Ksw-q3NR_6zvCv9O3kyrLqZrvS_z4/edit?usp=sharing
