NO TRANSLATION, NO RESPECT.
1 year of game and no translations so far. If you are not an expert in english, don't buy this game. Apparently, it's rich in history. Full of dialogues. I think it's stupid of creators not to do translations. Total disrespect to the global community.

Hey OP. I took part in the making of the spanish fan-translation for NiTW, so if you're willing to create a brazilian portuguese one, or know someone who may be, I could give you some advice on how we managed to do it, but it's a hard work and updates are a huge pain in the neck... Also there are no special characters such as áéíóú, and that's another problem to take into account actually, because the only possible solution is to edit certain sprites in order to create those (we, for example, couldn't use numbers in any dialogue because we replaced their sprites with the special characters we needed), I'm guessing portuguese has quite a lot of them. :S

I might be willing to try a PTBR translation, but I have no idea from where to start, actually. How exactly do I access and modify the game's dialogue?

To OP I not expert of english but i still can bit understand what of characters dialog actually saying mean, i can see the team of this games really put some loves into this games, they probably forgot about language option or don't come up ideas with it, you just need to know english to know what characters dialogs are actually saying so stop whiny about urassself and accept it or gtfo, i really respects a kind things that people really put a loves into it and hate ignorant person who's gives crap dislike things into it.

"Update"

And it still hard to translate NitW jokes to other language and keep it quality too.

Bekah, one of the game's publishers, said this about translations:
"I've been talking to outside companies about localization for the game for awhile - but the expense per language is crazy (quoted like 13k-120k PER language cuz of art/tech/cultural changes)"

The expense is just too much for a small title to justify unfortunately.

The dev allows you to translate it. The problem is, translating 200k English words into different language while still be able to keep value of the words is very hard, not mentioning how you have to dig the game files for the fonts before you can start working on the texts.
Since when no translation = no respect?
Looking at this post again, there are 3 translations for the game if you do not know, and 2 of them are 100% completely translated, from dialogues to graphical letters

I’d love to translate it into my native language (Swedish) if I was given the opportunity

the developers don't think and the xenoboficos and ignorant think it easier to say "learn english".
chill out. you arent entitled to getting a translation. this game has so much dialogue that for them to translate it all would be a nightmare. bonus points if they dont have anybody that even speaks the language they want to translate.

Remember that this game had only 2 core developers ( both of them literally did all the dialogue, animation, music ), and very few other devs on the other stuffs such as art, etc..., so i don't really see the reason why you're hating them just because they're not making translations here. If you still want a translation, DO IT yourself. They're totally supporting that.

Also here's what they say about translating the game by themselves btw. https://ibb.co/fkosoK

As for Dead Cells translation system, that might sounds good, but i'm rather sure that the translation for that game is much easier than NitWs due to NitWs having over ~150000 words in the game, so i think it might be because of that, or maybe they still haven't decide to implement it because there might be another part of the game coming out soon, or simply they didn't know, because they're fully supported on Korean translation of the game.

I have send the devs about your idea, so now we can wait for them to answer.
