[Tool] FactorioModTranslator: Localize any mod into your language
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2026 4:46 pm
Hi everyone,
I’ve developed a tool to help players and modders automatically translate Factorio mods into different languages.
As much as we love playing with various mods, many of them are only available in English or Chinese. I created this tool to bridge that gap and make the modding experience more accessible for everyone.
Key Features
1. Launch the app and set your translation API keys in the [Settings] tab.
2. In the [Mod Selection] tab, select the folder of the Mod you want to translate. The mod folder must be unzipped beforehand, typically located at `%APPDATA%\Factorio\mods\[mod-folder]`.
3. Click the translate button to execute.
4. Review/edit the results in the [Preview] tab and save.

I’m looking for feedback and bug reports. If you have any suggestions for new features, please let me know!
Happy engineering!
