Language Pack Mods Compilation & Tutorial! Post your pack here!

This thread will no longer be updated due to 1.1 implementing official support for language packs. I like to think that this thread helped to make this happen.

Well I saw a lot of these popping up on the mods list ~~and to save people trawling the forums for them due to the broken search~~, here are links to the threads for language packs for Minecraft. To suggest a language, post here, to have your language pack included here, post here. To have your language pack removed from this list, also post here.

Tutorial to making Language Packs:
Locate minecraft.jar and unzip it with WinRAR. Go to the folder 'lang'. Inside you will find two files. Open these in a text editor of your choice, I suggest PSPad for Windows or TextWrangler for Macs to prevent incompatibilities between OS. Download links for these are located at the bottom of the thread.

You should now see something like this:

Edit the text after the equals sign to the language of your choice, for example, if I was creating a German language pack I would replace 'Done' with 'Fertig'.

However, Minecraft only accepts certain characters, these are shown below. If your pack contains characters outside this selection, you will have to follow the tutorial also found below until a modder makes an easier way to do it :Zombie:

Tutorial to typing custom characters

monkop said:

If you go to the default.png file in the font folder in minecraft.jar, you can edit the picture of the character you want to replace - i.e. if the letter "è" isn't used in your language pack, you can replace the picture of that letter with a picture of the character you want to replace, then, when writing your language pack, every time you want to type that character, just type è instead, which will then appear in-game as the picture that you replaced è with in default.png.

Save, zip, upload.
