Translating Kanto Gear

The folders here are normal Gen1Recomp companion mods. They translate only text drawn by Kanto Gear; the base game still needs its own language mod. Install them alongside Kanto Gear 1.7.2 or newer.

Included language packs:

• kanto_gear_de — German
• kanto_gear_es — Spanish (Spain), contributed by Desierto La Espada

To add a language:

1. Copy an existing language pack and give the folder and manifest a unique mod ID.
2. Replace the values in lang/<code>.lua while keeping every source key and format placeholder (%s, %d, and %%) unchanged.
3. Rename the language file and update its path in main.lua.
4. Run the copied tests/catalog_test.lua with LuaJIT. Its fixed-field checks catch translations that would overflow Kanto Gear's compact UI.

Missing entries safely remain in English. No Kanto Gear source changes are needed for another language.
