Would it be okay if the game was in other languages?

[Calavera]

First I want to say that my English is terrible and that you may not understand some of the words I say: I want to ask you what you think about adding more languages ​​to the game, I say this because the game is difficult in itself and as I already told you, I am terrible. in English and this makes it very difficult for me to play and I'm from Spain, so. What do you think about including important languages ​​such as Spanish, Russian or some other important one? Thank you for reading.

This topic comes up every few months. The game is in UnReal English. There are several phrases that don't easily translate to other languages.
Some of the phrases have... dubious... grammar in English, at best, but for a "born in north" person, the "Been worse" from a villager: makes perfect sense.

From previous replies from Sami: almost all of the syntax from text feedback is hard coded. There's no "insert alternate language translations here" option in the code. In other words, to have UnReal World in other language: good 90% of any text feedback of the game would need to be re-written.
For a 2 person Dev team: that'd put ANY new versions/bug squishing/community feedback (Suggestions) on hard halt for several years.

(I recall translation offers for Danish, Finnish, Russian, and unless I'm losing it, also Korean, in last 6-7 years... the game/code itself isn't written for localization.)

Eu entendo a questão do que é escrito no jogo e sua linguagem estarem fundidos aos 90% de linhas de código de programação que foi criado anteriormente. Mas não existir solução pra isso nos tempos de hoje com um monte de IA pra todo lado e formas mais fáceis, que eu do alto da minha ignorância acredita, existirem para se resolver isso. Com certeza tem amantes deste jogo que não cobrariam nada para ajudar a criar algum algoritmo que faça o trabalho de tradução. Minha língua é o Português do Brasil e somos apaixonados por jogos e que tenham a nossa língua, são simplesmente ovacionados por aqui.

English:
I understand the issue that what is written in the game and its language are fused with the 90% of programming code lines that were created previously. But there’s no solution for this these days with a bunch of AI everywhere and easier ways, which in my ignorance I believe exist, to solve this. For sure there are lovers of this game who wouldn’t charge anything to help create an algorithm that does the translation work. My language is Brazilian Portuguese and we are passionate about games, and those that have our language are simply cheered for over here.

There is some game text in the messages folder inside your game folder. On Linux this is in .config/urw3-Linux/messages but on your computer it may be in a different place.if you want to translate it, then I think it would render at least some parts of the game into your language. If you do that, and it works or makes the game more playable for you, feel free to share it in the mods section so other players can download it too.

For example with google translate:

Code: [Select]

.TRADE_LETS_BARTER.(trading mood)
:( -And just what did you <reptitle_trading> think of offering?
:| -So let's barter! What have you got to offer, <plr_identity>?
:) -My pleasure to start trading with <reptitle_trading_ind>.

becomes

Code: [Select]

.TRADE_LETS_BARTER.(trading mood)
:( -¿Y qué se te ocurrió ofrecer, <reptitle_trading>?
:| -¡Intercambiemos! ¿Qué tienes para ofrecer, <plr_identity>?
:) -Un placer empezar a intercambiar con <reptitle_trading_ind>.

And then if you do the rest of the file too then probably when you trade, it will say it in Spanish in the game instead of English

First of all, thank you for replying. I already managed to access this folder once and translated it this way for myself. However, I would like something with real impact, translating the item names, etc. To have the game entirely in Portuguese. But this is a good starting point, don't you think?

Primeiramente obrigado por responder. Eu já consegui chegar a esta pasta uma vez e traduzi desta forma para mim. Porem eu gostaria e algo realmente com impacto, traduzir o nome dos itens e etc. Deixar o jogo totalmente em português. Mas já é um ponto de partida dessa forma não acha?
