About localization

[Jericho]

Hi developers, you are planning to localize the game in other languages?

[Blackleaf]

If I recall they said that there is so much writing in the game that a coherant locilization would take way too much time. Either we will get some fanmade ones added to the game or they will work on it after the beta is over.

Blackleaf's right: we probably won't localise the game ourselves. From our {LINK REMOVED}FAQ:

Because Sunless Sea contains so much text and because we’re likely to keep adding to it, even after final release, this probably isn’t practical. But it’s possible we’ll open up the text for modding: players would then be able to produce unofficial translations and share them on the Steam Workshop.

Well if you ever need a Norwegian translator, then hit me up. I'm always up for helping out.

@Adam
in that case, do Failbetter have any plans to collaborating with local (country)publishers in localizations then? like CDP(polish), 1c-cenega(russian\czech), paradox etc etc

Talint: not at this time. If the game does really well on final release we'll probably look closely at localisation options.

thnx for the attention

@Adam you really should consider to contact these guys:

They help indie devs to translate the games into russian. And I think they don't take money for it but they doing it out of altruism and to give credit to a good game.
Since your game is very heavy on context it would be a reasonable thing to translate it. Another imporatant point is that the russian community is numerous and interested in some dark games, but a lot of them have their problems with the english language.

I know it. That is why I wonder if there is anything new in this regard. I did not find a language other than English.
