Localisation question
I wonder: What was the language decission based on? By users from the EA before the localisation was done?

Wanted to buy this great game for my small nephew, but he does not speak english and this game requires understanding.

There is a localisation patch, but the problem is, that it is for 1.2 and even when I setup it once, it requires updating and maybe reinstallation, which might be difficult by distance at times.

The language in question is german.

Since v1.3 all of the language data is here:
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Kerbal Space Program\GameData\Squad\Localization

Make community translation with your fellow german gamers. After an update you could simply do file compare in some slightly more advanced text editor, find out lanes which have been changed and just update them as necessary.

I've got some good news for you my German friend!

From the KSP weekly about 3 weeks ago:

And last but not least, we have an announcement to make. We are working on localizing the game to further languages, specifically German, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese. We are still at very early stages of the localization process, but we are sharing this news because some players might notice that on the Language Tab of the game’s Properties on Steam there will be other languages listed aside from the ones we have already released. This change is for testing purposes and these won’t be available for use, yet.

Now for a Kerbal patch, a Mongolian patch... or not. XDXD I prefer English, wonder why they didn't make kerbal language. What if the kerbals come to life and want to play KSP? Jeb's right behind you

kerbal is reverse spanish. Speaking backwards. In case you didn't know.

write small script or use Excel import filters/formulas to split Spanish localization file into separate fields, rearrange all ingame text backwards, export back to txt file with proper marking, replace the original localization file with it.

Done. It's 30 min job tops.
