1428: Shadows over Silesia News

Polish community translation

Hear ye, hear ye!

I am delighted to finally announce that with the latest update, a Polish translation has made its way into the game! One of our community members, Hyssopus, took on this formidable task like a true hero and translated the entire game. All travelers from Poland and Silesia are now invited to join and experience the adventure in the language they know best.

As with all community translations, this is an amateur effort at heart—meaning there’s always room for improvement. If your eyes are sharp and your mind keen, join us on Discord and help refine every word. There’s always a place for those willing to lend a hand.

Thank you for your continued support—spread the word!
