Adding and translating other languages in game

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).

i saw language in the option and its blocked , how to be able to change the language to french cuz my dad dont really know english

Hello there, and sorry for the inconvenience!

 

This option is disabled since it's never been added to the game: moreover, only the options and menus and such would be translated, not the whole game, for it would require too much time to translate everything ingame and keep the translations up to date when something is added or changed. :Sing:

 

 

As a workaround, you guys can join a french channel ingame by typing the command /cgjoin French, and ask someone there when you/he do(es)n't understand something :Angel:

Make sure to avoid talking in french in the other channels though, as most of them are english only :3

 

 

 

You can find a fully detailed answer in the Read this before making a Suggestion topic, and since [mention]SViper[/mention] already pasted it while I was writing this, I will avoid reposting the wall of text XD

 


Sorry again for the inconvenience, I wish you guys fun, and a great day :Grin:
