Outer Wilds 台灣繁中模組

為遊戲新增獨立的「正體中文」語言選項，提供台灣用語習慣的完整繁體中文翻譯。

模組概要

• 在語言選單新增獨立的「正體中文」選項，不佔用或覆蓋原有語言
• 完整翻譯：對話、星際日誌、UI、Echoes of the Eye DLC
• 全文自英文原文直接翻譯，術語和譯文皆經過人工逐句精修
• 所有術語、人名、地名依原文重新考量，不沿用官方簡中

前置需求

本模組基於 Interplanetary Polyglot（xen.LocalizationUtility） 框架。 透過 Mod Manager 安裝時會自動帶入前置模組，無需手動處理。

安裝方式

方法一（推薦）：透過 Outer Wilds Mod Manager 直接安裝。

方法二（手動）：

1. 安裝前置模組 Interplanetary Polyglot
2. 從 Releases 下載 zip，解壓縮後將資料夾放入 OuterWildsModManager\OWML\Mods\

安裝後啟動遊戲，至「音訊與語言」設定中選擇「正體中文」。

自訂翻譯

模組資料夾內的 Translation.xml 即為翻譯本體，直接編輯後重啟遊戲即生效，無需重新 build。

注意：本模組採用靜態預烤字型，字元集固定涵蓋 2022 個字。若自行修改翻譯並引入字元集外的漢字，該字將無法顯示。建議修改時儘量使用譯文中既有的字。

本模組跟官方簡中有什麼差別？

官方簡中翻譯有數個系統性問題：多種不同載具以相同詞彙對應、雙星個體與雙星整體的語義區分消失、以及北方口語與兒化音等台灣讀者不習慣的用語散布全文。本模組逐一修正，以下列出部分典型對照。

詞彙	官方簡中	本模組繁中	說明
The Vessel	飞船	方舟	簡中以「飞船」統一對應 the Vessel、spacecraft、spaceship、shuttle 等不同載具，難以區分。本模組各有專屬一對一譯名。
Ash Twin	灰烬双星	灰子星	簡中以「双星」統一對應 twin 與 twins，無法區分「雙星之一」與「雙星整體」。本模組以「子星」指個體星球，「雙星」保留給整體（沙漏雙星），還原原文層次
Ember Twin	余烬双星	燼子星	同上。譯名另有一層考量：「灰」對「燼」，拆自複合詞「灰燼」——兩顆子星各持一字，合而成字，暗示雙生的關聯；同時去除多餘的顏色／剩餘意象
兒化音	这儿、那儿、一点儿……	這裡、那裡、一點……	北方官話的捲舌語音特徵，廣布於簡中原文；本模組全數以台灣習慣用字替換
方言口語	脑壳儿疼	腦袋會痛	以西南方言「脑壳」（頭顱）搭配兒化音；本模組改為台灣讀者直接能理解的表達

• 遣詞用字遵循台灣正體中文
• 大量人名依英文原名逐音重譯（如 索拉農、菲利斯、史派爾、艾凡斯、奧伊諾）

Outer Wilds Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) Mod

Adds a standalone 正體中文 (Traditional Chinese) language option to the game, with a complete translation localized for Taiwan.

Features

• Adds Traditional Chinese as a new language option — does not replace or occupy any existing language
• Full coverage: dialogue, ship log, UI, and the Echoes of the Eye DLC
• Translated directly from the English original with hand-crafted, sentence-by-sentence refinement — not a machine-translation polish pass
• All terminology, character names, and place names reconsidered from the source, independent of the Simplified Chinese translation

Requirements

Built on the Interplanetary Polyglot (xen.LocalizationUtility) framework. The dependency is installed automatically when using the Mod Manager.

Installation

Option 1 (recommended): Install via Outer Wilds Mod Manager.

Option 2 (manual):

1. Install the prerequisite mod Interplanetary Polyglot
2. Download the zip from Releases, extract it, and place the folder into %appdata%\OuterWildsModManager\OWML\Mods\

After installation, launch the game and select 「正體中文」 under Audio & Language settings.

Custom Translation

Translation.xml in the mod folder is the translation itself — edit it directly and restart the game to apply. No rebuild needed.

Note: This mod uses a statically pre-baked font covering a fixed set of 2,022 characters. If you introduce characters outside that set while editing the translation, they will not render. Sticking to characters already present in the existing translation is recommended.

Terminology Notes

The official Simplified Chinese translation has several systemic issues that this mod addresses: multiple distinct vehicles and celestial bodies collapsed into the same word; the twin/twins distinction erased; and Northern Mandarin colloquialisms — including erhua (retroflexed suffix) and regional dialect — scattered throughout the text. Below are some representative examples.

Term	Official Simplified CN	This mod	Rationale
The Vessel	飞船	方舟	Simplified CN uses 飞船 for the Vessel, spacecraft, spaceship, and shuttle alike — every vehicle collapses to one word. This mod gives each a distinct one-to-one translation; 方舟 (ark) is reserved for the Nomai Vessel, carrying the sense of a people borne through catastrophe
Ash Twin	灰烬双星	灰子星	Simplified CN uses 双星 for both the individual planets (Ash Twin, Ember Twin) and the pair (Hourglass Twins), losing the distinction. This mod uses 子星 for individual planets and reserves 双星 for the collective, restoring the original nuance
Ember Twin	余烬双星	燼子星	Same logic as above. The names also encode a structural pairing: 灰 (ash) and 燼 (ember) are split from the compound 灰燼 (ashes) — each twin carries one character, and together they form the word, quietly reflecting their bond
Erhua (兒化音)	这儿、那儿、一点儿……	這裡、那裡、一點……	Erhua is a Northern Mandarin phonological feature pervasive in the official text; replaced throughout with Taiwan-standard phrasing
Regional dialect	脑壳儿疼	腦袋會痛	"Skull-ache" — Southwest dialect + erhua — for "brain hurting"; replaced with everyday phrasing natural to Taiwanese readers

Translation Notes

• Taiwan-standard wording throughout
• Standard Taiwan glyphs for regional character variants (麼, 裡, 恆, 餘, 砲, etc.)
• Character names re-transliterated from English originals (e.g. Solanum → 索拉農, Feliks → 菲利斯, Spire → 史派爾)
