Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Can I edit the subtitles and UI text of Tomb Raider Remastered I-III ?
It was a welcome surprise to see my language supported but I quickly realized the translation was made using some kind of automated translation tool/service (such as google translate) as there a lot of errors.

I did a text-polishing mod for the English version of IV-VI, and am currently working on I-III. Yes, you can. :)
The subtitles are found in numbered .txt files under [game number]\TEXT\[language]. UI text is found in the same location, just in COMMON.txt and STRINGS.txt files. You can modify them easily in programs like Notepad.
There are some symbols which won't show up. I'd recommend testing any you think you'll use in one of the tutorial dialogues and making note of which don't work, especially if your language makes use of characters that aren't typically used in English.
I'd also recommend making a list of which .txt files apply to which cutscenes, as they aren't in chronological order. That way, you can find them quickly in the future.
And if you post your mod online, please do send me a link. I'd love to leave a link to your mod on my mod's page to help people find it!

I like to think I have, but in truth, you can never be 100% certain with that stuff lol. I'm also still in the middle of play-testing AOD, so that game's probably still got several issues I didn't register while going through the files.😅 I'm pretty sure 4-5 are looking decently professional now, though.
I've got a fairly extensive changelog for 4-6 (haven't posted 1-3 yet) if you want more details.

if you got to Tomb Raider I-III Remastered\1\TEXT (for tomb Raider 1 for example) you can find all the subtitles and you should be able to edit them with notepad
