Community Translations: Volunteers Needed!
Hello players!
This is Denis Maltzev, the producer of Deathless. Tales of Old Rus from 1C Game Studios.
Since the official release, we’ve received several requests to provide different localizations for our game: Spanish, German, Polish, etc. Sadly, as a relatively small studio, we can't handle all these languages by ourselves. So, I’ve decided to come out with an idea that I have been thinking about for a while (it’s not that I’ve invented something new, mind you). Why don't we do it together? You, the players, and we, the devs?
This is how I see it. We provide volunteers with the game’s lockit in a format of Google docs. In order to access it, please drop us an email to [email protected] . We’ll talk, and when we come to an understanding, we’ll provide the access to the file for your language of choice. Once a month, we’ll take a look at what the community has done and update the game’s lockit. Until the translation is finished, untranslated strings will be shown in English. When it is finished, we’ll officially claim the support of the language on Steam, and all the participants will be credited for their work.
What do you think, players? Will it work?
