Localization for FeralHeart!

Localization for FeralHeart



How many of you think it would be a good idea if the game was translated into other languages? It is possible to change the button text of the most buttons, so I don't see why not? When a user is downloading the game, there could be language download options or something of the sort. It would support the including of players from many different countries and it would really benefit the game. It would probably take long for the language update to happen, but only because it's hard it doesn't mean it's impossible.

The game should be translated into:
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Russian
  • Polish
  • French

And let's not forget that we have active moderators who can speak Swedish and Spanish too. I know there are floofs out there who would love to help translate the game into many languages. Sure, it will take time but at the end it would be worth it. Tell me what you think below. Thanks for reading!

Oooo, this is a very neat idea. I have no experience on how to get these into the game, but hey, if it is possible, that would be great! It would for sure bring in more players. We could also get more staff that's fluent in other languages as well to make it even easier. Love this idea, and hope something like this can happen!

Ooh, I absolutely love this idea! It may be a bit of a hassle to add language options to the download, but the change itself should be fairly simple. Concept wise, this idea could certainly be useful to a lot of people and could introduce more non-english speakers to this wonderful community and bring the playerbase up a bit. [+floof for ye!]

And I do know a bit of french if that would help with the translations. Not exactly fluent, but I know enough words and basic phrases that could suit the game

Always thought some large .JPGs with basic instructions with screenshots in them would be a somewhat helpful inclusion for people.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?
"Because it was my favourite & I like it"

Mostly Ctrl C - Ctrl V-ing from Skype chat here, but;
That's a really cool idea! I once knew how to change certain tabs and stuff ingame through the files. So maybe it wouldn't be SO complicated as long as somebody with the right knowledge, who knows which files and where, helped..
Tho idk if that would be as useful for FH specifically cause to my knowledge (Idk, maybe rules have changed) but usually English is the only language encouraged in the game. But it would make it a lot more friendly to those of alternate origins.
Would be interesting to see what the admins/mods have to say to this.

Have a Nuzzle for the idea ^_,^

This is a very neat idea! Only problem, of course, would be finding people who are able to/willing to translate, but it's definitely something to consider for sure c;

This is such a good idea!

I know we have many players who speak other languages such as Chinese, French and so on; this would be so helpful and easy for these certain member groups!
Staff should definetely consider. <3

Great topic!
