    Hello,
    i found a way to make the menu completely in the german language. In that topic i write it down and hope you can understand it.

    In the folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Bin\Bundles\ ....
    are all menu files. It's "*.jar" files. You can unzip it with Winrar or other programs.

    Please make a copy from the original file

    Files with "net.rfactor2.app. ..." are important for the game ui. If you open a file like "net.rfactor2.app.materialeditor.jar" you can see some folders:
    • i18n
    • META-INF
    • net
    • static
    Go into "META-INF" and open the folder "dependencymanager".
    The file "net.rfactor2.app.materialeditor.MaterialEditorApp" has a line for the language part. Open it with Notepad++ or a other one.
    the line for the language file:
    before: "net.rfactor2.i18.translation.template":"/i18n/materialeditor.pot"
    afterthan: "net.rfactor2.i18.translation.template":"/i18n/de_DE.po"

    why "de_DE.po" ?
    in the folder i18n are only 2 language files. english + german. and the german one has the name "de_DE".

    save the "net.rfactor2.app.materialeditor.MaterialEditorApp" file and if you use Winrar you can drag the file into the program.

    Start and hope the menu is in german.

    If you are interested, I can also upload the files.
    Note: The "de_DE.po" file has not yet been completely translated.
