Wtf does this do

This project is a fan made translation of the Nintendo 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf into Brazilian Portuguese. The goal is to translate all of the game's text so Portuguese speaking players can read it in their own language. The project is still in development, so not all of the game's text has been translated yet. The translation is distributed as a mod rather than as a full copy of the game. To use it, you need the Citra emulator, which runs 3DS games on a computer. You install the translation by right clicking the game in your Citra game list, opening its mods folder, and copying the contents of the project's romfs folder into that mods folder. The game itself is not included anywhere in this project, only the files needed to apply the translation on top of a copy of the game you already own. The README notes that the translation is built specifically for the United States version of the game, identified by the title ID 0004000000086300. This means it may not work correctly if applied to a different regional release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Beyond these installation steps and the note about game version compatibility, the README does not describe how much of the game has been translated so far, who is working on it, or how contributions are handled. It is a small, early stage project focused purely on making one specific game more accessible to Portuguese speaking fans through unofficial translation work, rather than a general purpose tool or library.
