[Localization] Traditional Chinese translation

[[TW]Winny]

I would like to localize the game's text into traditional Chinese. Is there any way to help?
I've read the guide about localization on other languages, but the font type of the letter seems not to support for Traditional Chinese.

Hi!
Thank you for the offer. Yes, the standard font does not have support. But we have prepared support for the Chinese font. It will take some time to check.

OK, once you finish checking, could you send me the Traditional Chinese font type file? then I can test the text in the game, thanks

It's a little more complicated. We will need to make a separate build of the game for the Chinese language. I'll probably be able to do it by Tuesday.

A separate beta branch will be available, which will integrate everything you need for the Chinese language.

[[TW]Winny]

Thank you, it's ok, take your time, I haven't finished all the translations yet.

[Igor]

It`s done. You need to choose the beta branch:
beta_chinese - Testing Chinese

You must edit the files that are contained in the ./steamapps/common/The Cursed Forest/assets/languages/chinese_xml.pak:
notes.xml
text.xml

We use the FZKai-Z03S font.

Thanks!

I tried to test the text in game, but it seems some words are somehow not supportable.

I screenshot the image.

I think it's because this is a simplified Chinese version instead of Traditional Chinese.

However, I found a completely free font file that can be able to support the language.
I put the official website download link down below

And this is their website link.

Maybe you can try this type of font, or make a different font version. thank you.

[Igor]

Good, we'll try the font you suggested. We'll do it within a week.

[Igor]

Hi! We added the font you suggested.

Can any of these fonts be more appropriate?

Hi~
I tried to test the text in game, and the font works fine on the menu and UI but the font seems still not support for the note text.

As you can see, UI and menu are fine but the note doesn't.





I guess any of these fonts you posted are supportable.

I think all of these fonts are also appropriate except :
Microsoft YaHei Bold, Noto Sans S Chinese Black and Noto Sans S Chinese Bold.

The reason why those 3 fonts are not appropriate is that I think they are bold type.


I think I should also give you a translation file. Here is the download link. There are still some notes I need to do.

So sadly, The one I suggested seems not to support the notes' text completely in game. As for which font should be chosen. I think it all depends on you.

Thank you!

[Igor]

We have found a solution and we will add it soon.

[[TW]Winny]

Ok, thank you.

[[TW]Winny]

[Igor]

Hi!
The update is ready.

[[TW]Winny]

OK, Thanks!

Hi~
I've finished all the translation.
I will do a little revision within a week.

However, there are some wrong contexts in the notes.
I not sure why they are still showing in Russian, Maybe I did something wrong in .xml file.

Disclaimer also shows the wrong context when launching the game.

and the Items' name and context show in Russian as well.
