This is a fan-made project that is still considered an experiment (for now), with the goal of not only providing a Latam Spanish translation for the 2026 version but also adding a few extra features to make it even more complete, while preserving some original essence and avoiding graphical errors as much as possible.
There may still be a few grammatical errors to fix, so there may be some changes in a few days. If you find something and have any questions, please let me know!
And don't worry, the updates will continue. There are still other expansions and mods to be translated.
With the recreated .fnt file, it is now possible to use special characters in dialogs, such as accents (á, é, í, ó, ú), the ñ, diaeresis (ü) and opening punctuation marks (¿¡).
Details
Not only have the “Caret” and “TextBox” texture files been modded but so has the NPC section. It has been redrawn from scratch, drawing inspiration from other existing translation projects.
Details
The texture files have also been modified for Classic Graphics.

The Spanish (Spain) version, made by the legendary ShySpy, from freeware 2010 version. Inspired by Aeron Genesis Translation Patch.
Before downloading the file, make sure you've purchased Cave Story+ on Steam and that you're using the latest version (build 26-06-09).
If you purchased it from other stores like Epic Games or GOG and it includes the 2026 version, then it might work as well.
It is not currently compatible with doukutsu-rs.

Extract the base folder [Latam] Spanish Translation Patch
in the following path: Documents\My Games\Cave Story+\Mods
Create the file mods.txt (if you don't have it) in the path I mentioned, and then, open the file and add the following at the bottom path (if you have more mods installed):
+ [Latam] Spanish Translation Patch
There is a file called StringTable.sta that you need to move to the game's data folder if you want to translate some of the text in the game menu: steamapps\common\Cave Story+\data
And that's because it can't be modded via mods folder...
It's optional, but experimental, use it at your own risk...
Don't forget to back up the original file before replacing it!
