Folder structure on MacBook like on Windows device

Hello,

I would like to ask you how it works with installed programs on MacBook Pro 16 M2 chip.

I installed an one game from Steam and it works well. This game is translated by our community to Czech language (Baldur's Gate 2 EE), needs to rewrite just one file in a specific folder and can't find on MacBook.

If I use the Parallels with Windows 11, it works well.

How can I find a folder (if is possible) in MacBook where are the installed files similar to a Windows structure?

Thank you

Applications are stored in the /Applications folder. Each Application is a package file.

Hold the Option key while you click on an icon of an Application, and choose "Show Package Contents" form the pop-up menu, and a 'Contents' folder will be shown. Open the contents folder and the moving parts of the Application will be shown.

Here is an example from textedit:

localization files are designated using standard language abbreviations and end in .lproj, so the example above show several localizations already in place.

The difficulty is that the system Folder is checksummed and locked, absolutely not writeable, and you cannot change it without crashing your Mac.
