Making History: The First World War News

We have now implemented a Spanish version of Making History: The First World War.



All text content for both have been localized but there will likely be errors or poor translations in some places. Additionally, there are strings that do not fit well in the UI. We will over time address the problems that are fixable.



The next localization will be French. And as we stated before, we'd like to eventually add Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Japanese or Polish and others if possible.



We'll soon be turning our attention back to both gameplay & content for this game and The Second World War. Translations will be added to SWW in the near future.

For the last several months our focus has been on localizing The First World War into different languages. We released an early Chinese version a few weeks ago and now have a working build that adds both Russian and German. We've decided to make these imperfect translations available to all players while we continue to work on improvements.



All text content for both have been localized but it's very rough in many places. This includes poor translation and in some cases, strings that do not fit well in the UI. We have native speakers helping us cleanup the over 15,000 lines of text for each language.



There are also Spanish and French versions in progress and we intend to follow that up with possibly Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Bulgarian, Japanese or Polish. We’ll be deciding that in the near future and the plan is to also make translations for The Second World War.

Feedback is welcome.

Quick patch to fix missing strings in The July Crisis scenario.

The Chinese language version of Making History: The First World War is now ready to share.



All Lobby, Hud and Event text has been localized to Simplified Chinese.



This is a large amount of text - over 10,000 lines of translations. The Events alone were over 7,000.



So there's a good chance we may have messed somewhere. Please let us know if you find issues and we'll try to fix them for the next build.



Coming up...



Russian Language translation release. This is currently being reviewed and tested. Should be ready for release in the very near future.

A Chinese version of Making History: The First World War has been requested by multiple community members. We just wanted to let our Chinese players know that a translation is being worked on. We've completed most of the UI and are beginning on the many events and units.



We will update you when the translation is ready.
