It's not as easy as you think.

Here's a quote from the Dev's themselves:

Each language was carefully localized so it keeps the humor and charm of the english version. Keyboard layouts, UI and textures were also modified to please local players of each region.

To give you an idea of the scope of this endeavour, we had to carefully revise all lines of code to start cataloging all the aspects that needed to be localized and addressed. We translated more than 95,000 words, created 456 images for textures and UI, prepared 684 slides for the KSPedia and everything was carefully revised by a team of more than twenty dedicated volunteers.

I thought there used to be a thread on the official forums for helping with translation. I can't seem to find it so either I'm mistaken or blind.

Thanks for the info - I've already read it on the homepage.

Only as comparison: The "life is strange" developers have approximately the same company size. The language content can be compared with a harry potter book. They did not even need 6 months for 5 language translations (standard localization: German, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese).

But of course, we urgently need Russian and Chinese. ;-)

[Manwith Noname]

Actually, Russian and Chinese are very important languages for a number of reasons. Same goes with Spanish and Portuguese.

Main reason being, these languages cover a large demographic of people who are less likely to understand English.

Edit: ...and yes, I realise Portuguese isn't covered in the update.

Yes, because they can sell more games there. ;-) What a sad fact.

This company is a no-go - and I have said everything there is to say.

[Manwith Noname]

Yes, they will never please you it seems. Now post one of your sarcastic cartoons.

You seem to speak English just fine.

Why are you of all people complaining about a lack of translation?

I'm not sure if it'll work for your language but there is a community mod that adds other languages: (hopefully the recent patch didn't break it.)

I am italian too and I have improved my english by watching Scott Manley's videos! If you have any doubt, go on and ask.

Best way to make something understandable in every aspect is for everybody on the planet to LEARN THE SAME DAMN LANGUAGE.

And that's gonna be English. In the unlikely event the planet DOES manage to come up with a One World Language, English is gonna be it. Deal.
