Customizable multilanguage interface

[ATLANT]

Customizable multilanguage interface. Game interested in many countries and everyone wants to customize the interface in their native language

[Lethys]

I am no native english speaker but I only want and need english. As some commands will be english only because there is no word for it anyway, many groups will just speak a mixed english anyway. To me there is no need for extra languages.

 

But NQ stated that there will be different localized clients later down the road

You've got Japanese listed twice.

 

I see no problem transliterating words into foreign scripts, but a lot of words, as Lethys has said, just don't have native equivalents because they're English scifi inventions.

 

I mean, you could "translate" stargate as 星門 (hoshimon), or even ワープの扉 (waapu no tobira, warp door), but it's really weird and the movie's just called スターゲイト (sutaageito) anyway.

 

Stuff like "pick up item" will probably be translated in the future, but these are all post-release issues. Interfaces on ships (like a user-created screen) might be modifiable at release so that could be localised for each ship.
