We're happy to announce that we've begun the groundwork for a community driven translation into multiple languages.

We'll start by rolling out translations for the UI of the game and we're working on getting everything set up so you can translate the events soon. Basically this is a test of the translation system we will be using to work hand in hand with you to bring the translation up to speed.
