Russian Localization by Commando v2.6

Greetings, warriors of Calradia!

Version No. 2.6 from 18.04.20:

Many quest descriptions have been edited, unnecessary variables removed in places where it was unclear who to transport due to the abundance of names and locations. General editing of dialogues, lines, and character comments.

All new lines from patch 1.2.0 have been added and translated (This was daunting, there are a lot of new lines. A large number of lines that were previously in the game code have been brought into the language files, and we finally managed to translate them, though not all were extracted from the code, but a significant portion. Mercenaries are also included in the translated list. I strongly recommend UPDATING to version 1.2.0, it's worth it).

The localization is packaged as a module and can now be enabled/disabled/removed like a mod. Everything for the convenience of users. To ensure the new localization installs correctly, the following actions are required: (TaleWorlds also made changes to the language files, so these steps are mandatory to ensure your game is stable and the translation displays correctly without issues).

Version No. 2.5 from 15.04.20:

All new lines from patch 1.1 have been added (Except those that TaleWorlds blocked from translation. For example, three new items fall into this category: short and long Western spears, as well as lamellar shoulder pads. And generally, some lines remain unchanged in the code... They clearly do not want to make our job easier).

Gender has been assigned to all nicknames and professions to suit both female and male characters.

Faction declensions have been added through Turkish workarounds of Russian origin. (Previously, for example, the chat would say Frodo from Battan... Now it will say: Frodo from Battania)

The starting culture selection menu has been redesigned, taking into account the new declensions.

Units have been thoroughly edited and checked.

The encyclopedia has been rewritten. Again... Now gender affiliation should display correctly, as well as the new faction declensions.

Many dialogues have been reworked, characters should now feel more alive.

Several quests have been rewritten.

Many dialogues have been given gender or rewritten neutrally for both sexes (It’s quite jarring when a female character speaks in the masculine form; we strive to correct this as much as possible).

General editing based on issues found by our testers and users from the site, thank you for that)

The installation order for the localization is as follows:

1. Download the localization.

2. Before starting the installation, set the language to English in the settings. The game must be turned off during the installation process.

3. If you previously had an old version of the localization installed, whether ours or another, perform a local file verification in the Steam settings to restore the original Turkish localization files. If this is not done, translation issues may arise, especially if you previously used another localization. This version does NOT replace the Turkish language! It specifically ADDS the Russian localization files.

4. Copy the Modules and GUI folders from the downloaded archive into the root game folder (Mount & Blade II Bannerlord).

5. Enable the mod in the game launcher. (Check the box next to the very last line)

6. Set the game language to RUSSIAN in the game settings. MUST START THE GAME THROUGH THE LAUNCHER!!!

Note: If you have Windows 10, files may be blocked; allow them here:

Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: Aaaa, I did everything right, but I have English! What to do?

Answer: First, tell us where you bought the game, secondly — whether it’s entirely in English or if there’s some Russian. We will monitor the situation, as no one has a definitive answer to this question yet.

Possible conditions for resolving the issue:

1. Hotfix 1.02 installed

2. Lang folders in the modules have been deleted in those folders that are replaced

3. Cache checked (structure restored)

4. Translation installed

Thanks to JackTheCat for the observations.

Question: When will the next version be released and how can I know it’s out?

Answer: It will be when we finish it. It depends on what’s in the files and testing. Don’t rush us. Keep an eye on the topic; we post about changes. Each version is also numbered.

Question: My game doesn’t work/there’s a bug/help me how to give a companion a horse, how to do this and that!!!

Answer: This topic is exclusively for discussing the localization; questions about the game should be asked in its topic: link.

Question: I crash after installing the localization!

Answer: Indicate where you bought the game, how you installed the translation, what version of Windows you have, what language is selected in the game settings and in Steam settings, and whether you checked the local files before installing the localization. Without specific information, we will not answer the question.
