Kingdom Crier #36: Localization Beta!
Kingdom Crier #36 is here with BETA access to French, German, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Russian translations!
The first pass translations are in and initial localization support is nearly complete, so we're ready for some fresh eyes to take a look.
French, German, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Russian translations are available now on the Experimental branch for you to play.
Any and all feedback is welcome.
[h2]Experimental Branch[/h2]
To check it out - switch to (or stay in) the Experimental Beta on Steam and participate in discussions here or on discord.
Expect occasional issues - but know that we appreciate you helping us make the game better!
[h2]Existing Saves[/h2]
Existing Saves will carry over to this build and forward along with it when it releases.
There's a one-time update to the format of text that will cause some existing text to continue untranslated, but any new text will be translated properly.
This format change means saves migrated to this version cannot return to v0.29.6.*.
[h2]Changing Language Mid-game[/h2]
Changing Language mid-game will update most text, however places, factions, and items will retain their previous names.
[h2]Mods[/h2]
Mod support is VERY Experimental at the moment - expect some mods to crash or to have issues - we plan to evaluate them more closely during the beta.
Please report issues you find!
[h3]UPDATE [8/15][/h3]
Mods are now fully compatible! Enjoy!
We view this as just the starting point for Localization for Noble Fates.
We plan to open source the translations via github during the BETA. Once online, you will be able to leverage your knowledge of the game to refine existing translations and provide new ones during the lag time between Official Updates.
In addition, we plan to strengthen support for Mods, allowing them to be localized and for them to provide new languages that aren't already covered by the game.
Finally, we plan to kick off subsequent languages when the community expresses enough interest.

If you like the game, please consider leaving a Review. These can help players decide that Noble Fates is worthy of their attention.
Thanks for reading and thanks for playing!
