Here is a collection of localization strings from older CoD titles. It's currently just zombies games, as this is what we're here for, other games may or may not come at a later date.
For T4 and T5, the files all have specific encoding you'll have to use while opening and saving them. T6 is all UTF-8 tho.
| Languages | Encoding |
|---|---|
| English, French, German, Italian, Spanish | Windows-1252 |
| Japanese | SHIFT-JIS |
| Korean | EUC-KR |
| Polish | Windows-1250 |
| Russian | Windows-1251 |
Tip
For VSCode, after opening a file, on the bar at the very bootom of the program, you'll find a Select encoding button, it'll most likely have UTF-8 value on it. Click on it, and then press Reopen with Encoding and select the encoding from the list above (it'll most likely suggest the correct one).
For saving, click the same button and press Save with Encoding
For T6 specifically, some languages are missing strings for campaign/multiplayer. I'll try to dig them up at some point in the future and add them. Zombies should be complete across all games.
On Plutonium, you can change the value of the strings locally without loading any mods, you can learn more about it in this repository by Evelyn
