Windows
IWDification for Windows is distributed as a self-extracting archive and includes a WeiDU installer. To install, simply double-click the archive and follow the instructions on screen.

Alternatively, the files can be extracted into your game directory using 7zip or WinRAR. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-iwdification_translate.exe and the folder iwdification_translate. To install, double-click setup-iwdification_translate.exe and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-iwdification_translate.exe in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

Mac OS X
IWDification for Mac OS X is distributed as a compressed tarball and includes a WeiDU installer.

First, extract the files from the tarball into your game directory. When properly extracted, your game directory will contain setup-iwdification_translate, setup-iwdification_translate.command, and the folder iwdification_translate. To install, double-click setup-iwdification_translate.command and follow the instructions on screen.

You can run setup-iwdification_translate.command in your game folder to reinstall, uninstall or otherwise change components.

Linux
IWDification for Linux is distributed as a compressed tarball and does not include a WeiDU installer.

Extract the contents of the mod to the folder of the game you wish to modify.

Download the latest version of WeiDU for Linux from WeiDU.org and copy WeiDU and WeInstall to /usr/bin. Following that, open a terminal, cd to your game installation directory, run tolower and answer Y to both queries. You can avoid running the second option (linux.ini) if you've already ran it once in the same directory. To save time, the archive is already tolowered, so there's no need to run the first option (lowercasing file names) either if you've extracted only this mod since the last time you lowercased file names. If you're unsure, running tolower and choosing both options is the safe bet.

To install, run WeInstall iwdification in your game folder. Then run wine BGMain.exe and start playing.

After Installation
The tool will generate a game_strings.tra and a game_strings_ee.tra file inside the iwdification_translate folder. There will still be some manual translation needed; open the files with a text editor and make additional changes as needed. Specifically, examine string references 3014, 5003, 5006, 5009, 5012, 5015, 5019, and 6002-6017. You will also need to manually translate the entirety of the setup.tra file from the IWDification mod (about eight strings).

Once these files are ready, either post them to the IWDification forum or PM CamDawg on the G3 forums.
