Total War: Shogun 2 stores its English text (UI, tooltips, unit names, mission text, etc.) in localized language files packaged with the game. These files allow modders to edit or translate in-game text. Common locations and formats differ by installation/source (Steam, retail, or mod managers), but the typical approach is to extract and edit language pack files and rebuild or place edited files in the proper mod directory so the game loads them.

2. English Text – What the player sees.
