Hellish Localization
Hellish Localization is a Forge utility that bundles extra language files for other mods, which translate their text into several languages.
What it does
The mod ships as a packaged set of language files rather than a resource pack, and each file covers the text of a different mod. It is aimed at 1.16.5, where many mods never received proper localization. It runs on the client alone, so only the player's game needs it, and servers can run without it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the public source code and issue tracker are linked from its catalog entry.
Key features
Translated interface text
Each bundled language file replaces the English strings of one mod with translated text.
Packaged as a mod
Delivered as a Forge mod instead of a resource pack, so the translations load with the game's mods.
Mods without translations
Fills in text for mods whose developers never shipped their own localization.

What the author says
This mod (or rather, a resource pack packaged as a mod) adds various lang files for different mods. We made it because a lot of mods don't have proper localization, especially for 1.16, which many mod developers consider a "dead version".
