I think if you could ask it in the support area, you'd be more likely to get an answer. Do not you think so, too. Unfortunately it goes down here!

This idea is impossible to implement, because the game does not have a built-in translator.

Simply put, in each language version of the game there is a “file” with words or texts that are substituted in the right place in the game using special algorithms. The set of these words and texts is created manually.

In addition, I think that the text of each inscription is created with the participation of a native speaker. Otherwise, labels and texts may look incorrect or even stupid.

I don't understand on what basis you chose the languages that should be in the game. There are hundreds of times more languages in the world. Why should these languages be in the game? For example, I want the game to be in Ukrainian. But now the game does not have this language. But I play this game. I would be pleased to read the inscriptions in the game in my language. But the absence of my language in the game is not a reason for me to stop playing this game. I think your concerns are exaggerated.

What is your native language? Maybe it's Serbian, or Bulgarian, or Chechen, or some other language? Do you find it difficult to play the English version of the game?

Thanks for the answer.

Your language is in the game. I am glad that you enjoy playing the game in your native language. I understand that you are worried about other players. You are very kind.

I understand your criterion for choosing languages. But if you use your criterion fairly, then your list should be many times longer, even if only the official languages of the countries are used. There are now almost 200 countries in the world. And if you want to add the languages of the regions to this list, then this list will be endless.

I gave you an example above, which concerns me personally. My language absolutely matches your criteria, but for some reason my language is not on your list. Therefore, I doubted your list and do not understand why these languages are worthy of being added to the game.

Good luck to you.
