KSA Babel is a community localization mod for Kitten Space Agency, providing an in-game language selection menu.
Version 0.2.1 is a preview with nine language options: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
Translation authorship and review
I have personally reviewed and confirmed only the Simplified Chinese translation.
The Japanese, Russian, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations were produced and reviewed by GPT, using KSP aerospace terminology as a reference and adapting it to the KSA context. I have not personally verified the linguistic accuracy of these seven languages, and they have not received independent native-speaker review.
Some initial Japanese translations came from the MIT-licensed KsaUiLanguages project, with the original attribution preserved.
KSP localization resources are used as terminology references. No complete KSP dictionaries are distributed, and no official endorsement is implied. Corrections from native speakers are welcome.
English mode
English mode displays KSA’s original English text and retains the mod’s added Language menu.
English is not a separately translated corpus. The 11 dynamic templates support multilingual text composition and original-English fallback; they do not mean 11 rewritten game texts.
Looking for the Chinese-focused edition?
My original KSA Chinese / KSA-CHINESE project remains available:
- Repository: https://github.com/kuxiaowo/KSA-CHINESE
- Mod ID: KsaChinese
- Languages: English / Simplified Chinese
- Current release: v0.1.6
- Download: https://github.com/kuxiaowo/KSA-CHINESE/releases/tag/v0.1.6
- Standard archive: KsaChinese-0.1.6.zip
- Existing Borea listing: https://github.com/KSAModding/content-index/blob/main/listings/KsaChinese.toml
That edition targets the inspected Windows x64 KSA 2026.10.19.5638 files and StarMap 0.4.8.
KSA Babel is the independent multilingual preview, using the separate mod ID KsaBabel. Choose the edition you need; do not enable both in the same profile.
Compatibility and dependencies
- Windows x64
- Inspected KSA 2026.10.19.5638 files only
- .NET 10 x64 Runtime
- StarMap 0.4.8, by KlaasWhite, MIT:
https://github.com/StarMapLoader/StarMap/releases/tag/0.4.8
Unknown game builds or mismatched dependency hashes cause Babel to refuse activation.
Download and installation
Download:
github.com
Existing StarMap/Borea users should choose KsaBabel-0.2.1.zip. Extract its KsaBabel folder into the selected profile’s mods directory, enable KsaBabel, and launch through StarMap.
The standard ZIP does not bundle a loader or launcher. Checksums are provided with the release.
For Borea-managed migration, first back up your profile, remove KsaChinese from the instance, and retain the profile data. Disabling the old mod alone does not resolve the catalog conflict. In a manual installation, Babel refuses activation while the old ID is enabled.
Language preferences are stored per profile in KsaBabel/settings.json. If that new file does not exist, Babel imports only a valid language selection from the same profile’s old KsaChinese/settings.json, preserving the original file. It does not search other profiles or move saves automatically.
Installation and migration details:
github.com
Borea public-catalog inclusion is still pending. Until the listing is accepted, use this repository’s release assets for manual installation. The existing KsaChinese listing belongs to the original Chinese-focused project.
Coverage and limitations
The current reviewed scope includes supported menus, tooltips, part and substance captions, gauges and selected changelogs. Untranslated text falls back to the original.
Older changelogs, native library/error text, texture lettering and some UI states remain outside the reviewed scope. This is a community translation preview, not an official translation or a claim of complete game coverage.
Technical build and runtime checks do not certify linguistic accuracy, exhaustive visual coverage or long-term gameplay stability.
