Dear all,
I'm very pleased to be a member of great community and player of this "huge" wonderful game. Neitherless, i wanted to translate whole game into my native language Mongolian. But i'm gonna need a huge favor from you guys. Font section is a problem for me, because only we do use characters/letters which is unique (i'm sorry if i say wrong) Ү ү, Ө ө (please see an attachment).
Only thing is making me worse is fonts and bitmaps. I was wondering if there is someone who can help me with it, i would be very grateful. Please feel free to mail me or reply here.

Thank you for reading and i'm looking forward for your help.

You can drop a mail to ConcernedApe.
As far as I know, the game was originally written by C#.
You can confirm with the developer to get more information.

I think it's great that you are trying to do this, but probably like many other people here, I haven't the faintest clue how to help.

Dear all, thank you for all your kind message. I really appreciate everyone and future ones too :)
I think it's better if i send a mail to ConsernedApe.

Otherwise, i needed a pixelmaping for fonts. ENG alphabet has a 26 letters. We do have a 35 letters, all cyrillic. That is the "best" part :) See below for pixel bitmaps and fonts for Russian font ( atleast i hope that is bitmap). Russian is perfect example for our alphabet.

Hej, I have a similar problem. I am translating Stardew to Esperanto. But all the Ĝ Ĥ Ŭ Ŝ Ĵ Ĉ letters are missing. I tried to load font files in my mod. But I don't even succeed with loading the Rusian font files in my mod. Otherwise I could probably adapt them for Esperanto.

I copied the Russian_0.png and Russian.fnt into ...Stardew Valley\Mods\StardewEsperanto\assets and added the following to my content.json, but Smapi still looks for a.xnb file in the GAME files:

All my (working) code: https://github.com/jolesh/StardewEsperanto

Hey, Hi :)

I'm going to try it when i got a time. I have a feeling that it is the solution for it :)
Sorry for late response and it will take a time for me to try out, but i'll definitely do as you did
