Yesterday I tried to make a mod to convert Balder's Gate 3 to Dutch. This was mostly successful. The game sees that the mod is installed and activated but somehow the game is not translated from English to Dutch.
I did the following steps.
1) Converted the English texts in the file "English.loca.xml" to Dutch. This worked because the strings were not changed.
2) Then I created the "meta.lsx" file according to this site: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Modding:Creating_meta.lsx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<save>

</save>
3) Then I created the directory structure according to this site: https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Understanding_Mod_Folder_Structure
- BG3Nederlands
- Localization
- English
- Dutch.loca.xml
- Mods
- BG3Nederlands
- meta.lsx
4) I made this into a .pak file using the BG3 Modding Multitool and had it placed in the "Mods" folder.
5) Then I had the file uploaded and activated with the BG3MM. The mod is placed in %appdata%/local/..../mods
Somehow this does not work. Can anyone help me with this? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
