Help us select Kenshi 2's Translators!

Since we started the recruitment process in August, we received an overwhelming number of applications from translators all over the world, and we'd like to thank everyone who spread the word, inquired, and applied for the roles.

We are now in the final stretch for making the decision on Kenshi 2's translators for German, Spanish Portuguese (Brazil) and Chinese (Simplified).

Now, we have shortlisted 3 finalists from each language who have demonstrated their skills in translating excerpts from Kenshi and Kenshi 2.

To view translation, please change your language setting on Steam.

For feedback, please follow the links below:
German Spanish Portuguese (Brazil) Chinese (Simplified)

Your feedback is really important to us and we appreciate any player input in our decision.

Please note the following as you give your thoughts on your selection:

  • We are calling three translators, A, B and C, to protect their identities.
  • There are four excerpts from Kenshi and one from Kenshi 2 in the test.
  • We have not provided Glossaries to the testers during the test. We also asked them to translate proper nouns (names such as race, location, and character) as they see fit. Please don't judge them for not using the terms or nouns that are already used in Kenshi!
  • Translators could only use Kenshi's English Wiki as their reference during the test.
  • Most of the translators have not spent many hours playing Kenshi. Please bear in mind that they are not too familiar with the world.


Please be respectful and sensitive in feedback. Applications can be stressful enough!

We will carefully consider your thoughts and choices, but we won't be disclosing our decision-making process or the reasons for the final selection.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
