JoeW Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 We localize dependent on the size of the player base. Russian, Chinese, Portuguese and French tend to have the most players. Off the top of my head I believe Spanish is 9th most spoken language with our players under Korean and Italian. It varies from game to game a bit depending on a few factors, but overall that's why you see more support for other languages generally. We don't have a lot of resources to spend on localization and traditional localization at our level is extremely expensive as well as time consuming. We do our best, but it's not good enough for a lot of languages. ESPECIALLY for games with frequent updates. That's why we also offer language modding for most of our recent games. This allows the community to help us pick up that slack. But I appreciate you making this post. It's not the best situation, but it's what we got. It's not out of lack of respect, it's entirely due to it being the limit of our ability. We've gotten better as we have grown and we will continue to try to improve as we move forward.
