Overlay

An overlay will modify all the translations loaded by the game by the translations in the specific language you would want to enable the overlay for, to enable the overlay click the button in the bottom right of the language editing menu. Overlays have an advantage over resource packs that you can auto-reload them, and you don't have to reload all of the resource packs to see the changes.

You can use auto-reload with overlays by directly editing the language files used by this mod, in the game folder in the languages-eplt folder, the file would be named id.json, open it with a text editor and add translation entries to the translations json value. Use auto-reload if you know what you're doing

Exporting languages
