PRO Korean Translation

[Kimanu]

I am a Korean user who loves Pokemon Revolution Online.

I would like to translate Korean for many Korean users.

What should I do?

Hello kimanu , thank you for the suggestion and hope you are having a wonderful week. We are sorry for the delayed answer to your suggestion. Sometimes we might not reply immediately to the message but we make sure to read them all and redirect them to the rest of the crew if the suggestion is really good. So please continue to give us suggestions and feedback.

Unfortunately ,right now, as it is described here translating in other languages than english isn't on our priority focus.

PRO's main storyline will be kept English as the widely accepted "official" language in the game, even by bilingual players. Only minor things (menus, options, etc) will be translated; however, there is no estimated time frame for this, and it's considered very low-priority.

 

We've had many suggestions for community-submitted translations to be implemented. However, the community would need access to proprietary code to even think about translating parts of the dialogue, and we will never give out access to our code that way. Since that won't happen, players will just have to wait until staff is ready to start adding translations ourselves.

 

Another point that’s been brought up is a request for the community to be able to access dialogue scripts, rather than the actual code. However, this will still be denied. First, only a few staff members can access the code, and it takes time to collect the dialogue scripts line-by-line from the code, time that could be better utilized doing other things. Second, PRO is still in development. So instead of focusing on that priority, said staff members would need to divert time and energy away from that to collect dialogue instead, representing a waste of resources. Third, even with a community translation in place, there’s a huge amount of NPCs and story dialogue scripts in PRO that are always being edited and tweaked. Constantly having to update translations alongside these edits would represent a waste of time and resources. Finally, community translations do not guarantee quality control - staff members would need to recheck the dialogue translations after the community has submitted them (adding even more work, which is a huge burden considering the PRO staff already lacks human resources as is).

If it come in the future though, you will be able to see it in the Update logs .

 

Despite that, there are still ways for you to help the Korean community.

You can try look for a korean guild here , or even create your own to get in touch with other Korean players. I would personally suggest you making a discord channel as well and invite your friends there to talk in every language you may like.

Making an introduction here might as well help meeting your friends, since other Korean players can find out about you and invite you to their channels and everything else.

Furthermore you may be interested in making gameplay videos for other Korean players to watch. You can make a topic about your videos here.

 

I wish you best of luck and have fun playing the game :)
