KF2 Thai Localization Mod: Install Guide (-LANGUAGEFORCOOKING=THA)

The Killing Floor 2 Thai Localization Mod translates the game's interface and text into Thai. This guide, originally written in Thai, explains how to install it. The mod ships in two variants: one that translates perk names and one that leaves them in English. The screenshots in the guide use the translated-perk version.

About bans

Many players worry about getting banned. The author says it will not happen, because the mod changes none of the game's files or play data. It only adds the font for Thai text, the translation strings and an intro video.
