Enderal: Forgotten Stories (formerly Enderal: Shards of Order) is a Skyrim modification often considered a stand-alone game due to its sheer quality and scale. Since 2020, I have been localizing¹ it into Czech.

Content

What will be localized

Almost every in-game text, for example:

• Names of items, spells, locations, quests and NPCs
• Dialogues (in the form of subtitles)
• Quest objectives and journal entries
• Most books
• Texts in textures
• Menus and settings
• Cinematics (in the form of subtitles)
• System messages

What won't be localized

• Game launcher (localization not supported)
• Audio
• "The Butcher of Ark" book series

Note: If you choose to play as a female character, the game will still address you as male, as I have not yet found a way to provide separate strings for male and female protagonists.

Motivation

Ever since first playing Enderal and discovering that it was missing a Czech localization, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue. My main motivation was to allow Czech players to enjoy its lore, story and ambience without any language barriers.

Process

Strings (in-game texts) are localized in xTranslator and textures are edited in Photopea. Enderal's cinematics were localized by burning subtitles into them (I have posted a guide detailing the exact process I used, if you are interested).

More info about the process of localization itself can be found here.

Download

As of 2025, the localization is complete. The only remaining step is for the SureAI developers to publish it on Steam as an official localization, which they have noted may take some time. With their approval, I have decided to release the files on Nexus Mods in the meantime. You can find them here, along with an installation guide. If you run into any issues, don't hesitate to contact me.
