ABOUT:
This is a mod for Sekiro that adds Japanese original text to subtitles and boss names. 
Note: This mod supports all officially supported languages, but changes the font to a different one than the original (Noto Serif) to display Japanese. This is not only different from your language, but also from the original Japanese font.

日本語による解説がページの下側にあります (You can find an introduction to this mod written in Japanese at the bottom of this page.)


REQUIRED:
Sekiro Mod Engine
UXM (Optional, for Advanced Method)


HOW TO USE - Basic Method:
Just install the Sekiro Mod Engine beforehand and then copy the mods directory in 'Dual Subtitles' to \steam\steamapps\common\Sekiro\.


HOW TO USE - Advanced Method: (for English or European)
* You can use this method to play the English version with the same font as the Original. Not only the English but also the Japanese font will be the same as the original.
* Do this after you have done the Basic Method above.

First, you need to use UXM to extract the Japanese fonts in Sekiro's resources.
Launch UXM.exe and run Unpack. After waiting for a while, all assets of Sekiro will be extracted, including the necessary Japanese fonts.

Next, you have to copy the extracted Japanese font to the mods directory.
Copy the bundled BAT\copy_fonts.bat to the Sekiro directory and run it, you can copy Japanese fonts to the mods directory at once.

Alternatively, you can manually copy the Japanese font to the location below that corresponds to your language:

  • English: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\engus_std\font.gfx
  • French: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\frafr_std\font.gfx
  • Italian: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\itait_std\font.gfx
  • German: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\deude_std\font.gfx
  • Spanish: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\spaes_std\font.gfx
  • Polish: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\polpl_std\font.gfx
  • Portuguese: Sekiro\font\jpnjp_std\font.gfx > Sekiro\mods\font\porbr_std\font.gfx


Finally, return to the UXM and run Restore to delete the unwanted files.
copy the mods directory in this directory to the Sekiro directory and you are done!

Q&A:
* Isn't there a way to use the original font for other languages?
Look at 'More Advanced Method' section, if you have the patience...
Or if your language is one of the European languages, i.e. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Polish or Portuguese, and you don't like the fonts included in this mod, you might want to use a font for English that can be extracted with 'Advanced Method'. You can copy the fonts of those languages together in the batch file.

* Why are some subtitles/bosses' names not displayed in Japanese?
Some of the subtitles/boss names are too long, and Japanese has not been added because they exceed the character limit; a dozen lines for subtitles and one or two for boss names. Also, some of these bosses have only Japanese title names omitted (Seven Ashina Spears).

* How to put a counter-translation on the subtitle/boss's name only?
Delete the corresponding DCX file.
mods\msg\(YOUR_LANGUAGE)\menu.msgbnd.dcx : Subtitles
mods\msg\(YOUR_LANGUAGE)\item.msgbnd.dcx : Boss Names

* Why isn't there one for my language?
Unfortunately, there are no Japanese fonts available for your language... I don't think I can do anything about it. Sorry.

* Why don't you put a counter-translation on the other parts?
This is not possible because the string will break off from the UI frame.


HOW TO USE - More Advanced Method: (Combine the original fonts)
* Do this after you have done the Basic Method above.
