⚠️ Known Issues

• Hardcoded Strings: Some interface elements are hardcoded within the DBI binary and cannot be localized via translation.bin. Confirmation prompts may still display in Russian: Да (Yes) and Нет (No). ✅ Fixed!
• Shadok Fables: Satirical text blocks and stories (Shadok fables) remain in their original form.
• System Language Names: Names of languages in the DBI settings menu are hardcoded in the binary. ✅ Fixed!
• Launcher Compatibility: Translations have been tested exclusively on Kefir. On Kefir, the translation works successfully regardless of whether DBI is launched via Sphaira or nx-hbmenu. If you experience issues with translations not applying on other custom firmwares, please refer to #12.

Note: This NRO is a modified version of the original DBI optimized for these translations.
