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!

Thanks for the support, Azura! I appreciate it. +floof

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

Thanks for the nuzzle and for your support, Mako! That's exactly what I'm talking about. +floof

Always thought some large .JPGs with basic instructions with screenshots in them would be a somewhat helpful inclusion for people.

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 would definitely be very useful for some players
and i'm suprised this isn't already part of the game c:

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!
-
I really enjoy this idea,
The idea of allowing people who don't know any/much english would then be able to join in, it opens up the game to a wider audience which could be very beneficial. Good idea floof!

Thank you all for the amazing support! It's really appreciated. Nuzzles to everyone~
And Kiki, thank you for replying! I'm glad to hear that this idea will be taken into consideration.

I love this idea 100%. It's not often but I do see users wishing that there were a language translator for FH, having difficulties trying to navigate through the forums/game not knowing English as well as the most of us. I understand the difficulties this addition to the game/forums would require but in my eyes, it's worth it. That way everyone can enjoy the game, no matter what part of the world you live in. Great idea, Deuca!

Of course! +Floof as well

This is an amazing idea! It would be a lot nicer for non-English speakers to navigate the game and understand what the buttons mean and everything. Makes for a much nicer user experience.
If we were to have more downloads for each language though, it might become an issue for people who want to download them using the torrent method as there would be less seeds to download from but I'm not positive on that. I'm sure we could create a workaround on Mediafire for people to download the game!

Thank you for sharing your opinion, Morgra! It's really appreciated.

Maybe a text changing mod should be implemented(If that's possible) to change the text that the buttons use, although it won't change the chat. Another option is to make a GUI that has the translated word next to the english words in the main menu.

I've actually already suggested to the Staff an easier way to translate the words. I have also gathered up all the words that can be changed through the game files within a document. c:

I've made map objects with different textures depending on which mat file you put in the materials folder. By logical extension all languages that appear as .jpg or .png could be packaged as a single download and you swap in a material file that suits the language you want to see.
Not sure how well that would work for the text generated outside of the loading screens and billboards though...

It won't work for the text generated outside of the loading screens. But yes, it will be good to have translated loading screens and maybe even the in-game rules and other information, which you can see once you appear in "Lonely Cave". c:
