Automated Localization File Placement Tool for Paradox Games (Node.js)

Short Description

In this project, I developed a small Node.js tool that quickly places localization files for Paradox games into different language folders with the same structure.

Problem

Manually placing the same localization files into multiple language folders for Paradox mods is time-consuming. I wanted to reduce the effort of recreating the file structure for each language by hand.

Solution

I prepared the tool with JavaScript and established a copying workflow based on a source language folder. I can change the source folder within app.js and limit which languages will have folders generated through an array. When executed, it automatically creates the localization structure within source with the appropriate folder and file layout for the selected languages, and I can initiate this on Windows via program.bat.

Result

The outcome is a simple utility tool that accelerates the repetitive file placement task, especially on the Paradox modding side. I've automated a small workflow and made multi-language localization management more practical.
