Other Languages on games and steam platform.

[IDontGiveUp]

Hi
May i ask if there is any chance that steam imports other languages for other users for more interesting stuff to have.
Bosnian,Serbian,Croatian,Montenegro languages,because cyrillic and latin languages the bosnian is mix of serbian and croatian language,even slovenian has similar some words alot of it with bosnian,serbian,but mostly words are used from croatian.
even slovenian was used and by germans in past,so they focused on balcanian regions and added new words,but what is interesting is easily to be learned,but i would rather to have it on steam so i can focus easily learn it,because i hope someone will have ears for this one.
even ukranian,indonesian would be most welcome to be added i hope for users to see it in some sort of way to have this in positive or negative way.

I don't know about the rest, but Ukrainian is definitely an option already.

Steam/Valve can not influence what languages products on Steam support. that is up to the product owner/developer/publisher.

as for other languages on Steam itself, client, store, here, etc. there is nothing to "simply import". that is minimum months of manual labor that would now have to be paid for.

all of the languages that exist on Steam today was the work of volunteers. that program has been mostly shutdown for different reasons. one was that the program stagnated and more and more languages no longer had volunteers left that translated anything and were out of date. Valve still lets volunteers translate their games but there is looks the same way.

as most companies, if there isn't a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, they probably don't put time and money in to pursue that journey. so i wouldn't get my hopes up that there will be an influx of new language support on Steam anytime soon.

Well it would pay off, because i have too much free time on My side, maybe that can help me to ubderstand where to do that filling up stuff and how IF you can bring me Huge instructions i could start it somehow. And other players could fix the in advance some Words.

go and contact The Game Developers and The Game Publishers

that you want to do translation to different languages for their Games.

once you got their permissions, then inform Steam as well.

Steam and Valve Corporation don't have a single jurisdiction over what Languages are available for all Steam Games that are being Sold on Steam Platform.

the same holds true on Blizzard Entertainment Gaming Platform.

the same holds true for Ubisoft

the same holds true for EpicGames.

kindly take note that there is no such thing as

1) Complete Freedom of Speech on Gaming Platforms

you can express your opinions which is a "yes", but you can't "force" people who are working on Steam Platform and Valve Corporation to OVERWRITE Game Developers and Game Publishers at all about their Games.

If the volunteer program has mostly been abandoned, there isn't much for you to do. Valve isn't going to pay you to translate the Steam client.

And as said, for games that's entirely up to the game developers/publishers. So you'll have to contact them if you want to be able to do something there. Don't get your hopes up, though.
