Chinese Localisation? 汉化？

[Jademan Fitzro1]

As we all know, growing number of Chinese players become Steam users instead of playing pirated games after availability RMB(Chinese Currency) -Pay for Steam. But not all of these Chinese players master English, lots of them even cannot understand the menu. If they meet a game without Chinese language, they will lose interests on it, and the publishers and delvelopers will also lose potential customers. So why not give a Chinese Localisation?

The game is made in the USA by English speaking devs. Hence it is not in Chinese, but English. I doubt anyone on the team speaks Chinese. The game will have steam workshop and full mod support when completed. So it will likely be left up to a bilingual modder to translate. It may even be possible now, I belive there is a mod for Russian and Japanese already. Could be mistaken I am guessing that from screen shots I have seen.

Yep, community can do localisation

You can mod that in if you want. 7DaysToDie install directory / Data/Config
localization.txt
and
localization - quest.txt

These files handle the in-game languages. You can manually translate everything if you want.

I've heard that such things can be regarded as cheating and get banned, is that really ok?

That is plenty OK. The game will have full steam workshop support for mods when gold. Plenty use mods now though. There is no official servers, plus even if there was the server owner is the one that sets the rules for his/her own server. Also a language change is a far cry from cheating IMHO anyways.

It isn't regarded as cheating and it cannot/will not get you banned.

Have at it, Hoss.

Server owners wouldn't even be able to know if he modded the localization files. :P

Yea I meant to go on a server with a mod, that the server owner has to have said mod installed. So up to the owner to set the rules or mods they want to use or not. So for example if I had Valmod installed. Then went to play on a server that did not, I would be playing the game the server owner set up aka without Valmod.

True. Though, interestingly enough, the localization file does not actually "push" from the server. It uses the client's localization. So if he was to translate his file it would actually stay translated even on servers that don't have it - It would only effect him.
