Ukrainian language in Dune: Spice War

[MihaY]

Dear developers,

I saw that you have plans to increase the number of translations, including Ukrainian. (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1605220/discussions/0/3488628040301132090/)

That's why I decided to help you and translated it into Ukrainian. I uploaded the files to Google Drive - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Fv-Xs9ECtNzREc9OCdITpDJvzB55SyEt?usp=sharing

I and the All-Ukrainian Duna Spice War community are asking you to provide a translation into the national language.

Thanks and best wishes,

MihaY.

I have to ask a very important question. Did Steam relink the financial system to Ukraine yet? Because if they didn't then even if they had Ukrainian localization, you can't buy it because from what I can remember, there are no more financial transactions between Steam and Ukraine. Russia too for that matter.

they did it. I am from UA and I can buy anything in Steam

Good to know, at least devs from Ukraine can now be paid. That said, are all these other accounts your sock puppets? Because they all start going "add ukraine" as one liners starting only Nov/Dec 2022 like they are all under the control of one person or one group of persons. It's very suspicious.

Sorry, but I can't agree with you. The language of freedom is not Ukranian, but English. Because it is US army who brought freedom and democracy to the people of Vietnam, Afganistan, Iraqu, Serbia, Libya, Syria and now Ukraine.

Wait, did the US Army deploy into Ukraine? I though the orders were still to keep a distance to let Russia commit PR suicide? And I thought they lost Vietnam after they were ordered to withdraw.

How about you stop trying to exploit your situation and actually do something about it like so many other people in your country?

You remember the point I brought up? That these accounts might not even be Ukrainian? It could be a false flag op to paint the Ukrainians as needy whiny brats and damage their international relations. And if it ain't, then the controller of these accounts really need to think long and hard about how he is damaging their international image.

I did some checking and apparently some of the Cyrillic posts from the accounts calling for UA language is Russian, not Ukrainian, which makes me go "hmmm..." Google translate, which might not be the best source, auto-IDs the language as Russian even though it has a Ukrainian option. So there is a chance that it is a false flag op.

The possible reason for that could be that several millions of Ukranians fled from war to Russia, right? Those people may even have Russian accounts but may want Ukrainian language option just because... well, many possible reasons.

If they wanted a Ukrainian language, then their language of habit would be Ukrainian, not Russian, which means that they would have posted in the language they were most comfortable with, which is.... guess what?

I think this assumption is wrong. For many Ukrainians their language of habit is Russian, but they still want Ukrainian in games because... **ck Putin!

To the discussion that was written above by some people, I have only one nuance: I MADE the translation (because I want players to play my favorite game in my native language) and asked the developer to add MY OWN translation. I didn't require the developer to do this. I suggested. All. Nothing more. It's a pity that you don't see this, as well as many other things... And it somehow interferes to you. Why?...
This is my first and last reply to you. I have nothing more to say to you on this subject.

And you sincerely have my respect for that. I am sorry if I offended you in any way - I didn't mean that. I apologize.

It's not that I don't see it but you should check all the other accounts that say "Add UA!!", a lot of them are new and all only started in Nov/Dec of 2022 and spam not only this game but others as well, hence why I suspect it is an organized effort to do... something. If it's not your group then I've to regret to inform you that you are being made use of as a front to do... something that we still have no idea what the goals of this other group is. You can go check up the other accounts by clicking on their name and going to View Posts.

For example, this guy, 8th post from the top of 1st page:
Fear the 狼 UA

Translation: Fear the wolf UA. Chinese. That does not sound pro-Ukrainian at all.
