⚠️ Important notice for translators ⚠️

In this update, most if not all user-facing parts of ExplorerPatcher have been made localizable.

• The English texts have been put together into here and here.
• Non-English texts have been designed to be put into this separate repository. Feel free to make a PR there if you want to contribute to translations.
• Some texts have been updated to be more concise and accurate, so for existing translation fork maintainers, please double check the translations before making a PR to the said repository.
• Also for translation fork maintainers, a large number of conflicts will happen if you decide to continue merging changes from the main repository.
• Please let us know through Issues if there are still user-facing parts of ExplorerPatcher that are not localizable.

We apologize for the additional work that this change might cause. We hope that this one-time change will make it easier for translators to localize ExplorerPatcher and also easier for both translators and users to keep ExplorerPatcher up to date.

Please consult the README for more details. A detailed change log is available here. An archive containing all the files generated during the build process (including dxgi.dll and symbol files) is available here.
