Meidi

“Meidi” Language Pack / MEIDI戦前表記対応パック

Explanation for Foreigners・外国人用の解説

This pack adds the pre-ww2 orthography(kyuukanadukai) and the unsimplified kanji(kyuuzitai) of the Meiji-era_(and Showa-era)_ (1868-1912) with only katakana, which was reformed during the allied occupation to make it easier for ordinary people to read. (it was also planned before the ww2, but it was not possible)

It also includes some translations to capture the urge to translate foreign concepts that was prevalent during those years, rather than simply borrowing words from other languages. (Like inventing 共和国 instead of simply borrowing リパブリック)

It is inspired by the pre-reform-russian option that comes with the vanilla game and i love slavic languages so i really enjoyed it. It was fun to work on this for myself and others interested in linguistics. And yes, i made it manually and didn’t use ai (took 8~12 hours)
