Don't think so but even if it was it would most likely only apply to the text and not the voice over. They didn't bother getting a different one of those for the other languages either so.

So what? Translation of the text alone is more than enough

Hi N.G,
Depends on how well the game does and if there seems to be a demand. If there is enough then we'll do a Russian translation. Lost Words is a bit trickier to localise than most games as the length of the sentences affects the gameplay so it's quite a lot of work to do new languages but we'd love to do Russian if we can!

Not in my opinion. Either you translate in full or you don't translate at all. This kind of half translation ain't the kind I can appreciate.

I assure you, many Russians would appreciate this game with great pleasure, but not everyone speaks English well enough to feel the story.

I read English pretty well, but I still come across some not very common words, since this is a fantasy story.

The voice acting is amazing! Don't translate it! Just add Russian subtitles and open this magical world for our big country :lovecube:

Besides, the game now has a suitable price for Russia - not too expensive, like many other games. Therefore, I am sure that if you translate it into Russian, then many of our people will buy it and play :gk_smile:

I can translate it to Turkish for free if you want. I don't want the money, I just want to see this beautiful game in my language. I'll do my best to make sentences the same length as English one. Please let me try.

Thanks very much zaza_vsevo. That makes a lot of sense. We will definitely keep it in mind!

If you want, I can work for you on the translation and embedding of the text for a modest payment. I already had experience working as an editor, corrector and translator. And since I love this game, I can put all my attention and diligence into work.

At the moment I have no job and I can fully engage in this project. Think about my proposal, I would love to do it.

Thanks very much for your offer! We'll keep it in mind but for Lost Words it's not just a case of putting the text in as it breaks lots of levels when it's entered and requires one of our designers to fix various issues as the setup is quite bespoke.

Still, how beautiful and elegant game! It would be a pleasure for me to translate such a beautiful game into my language, not a burden!

It'll only do well if you guys put some effort into the localization of it. Which is something that I haven't seen you guys do yet.
If you won't localize your game properly then don't localize it at all.

Дорогие друзья! Я понимаю, там не только сам текст, а поди ещё и игра слов. Да и текстуры скорее всего переводить надо . Так будет перевод или нет?
