[h3]Fellow officers,[/h3]
¡Hola! Bonjour! Ciao! Merhaba! Witam! Olá! Здравствуйте! 안녕하세요! こんにちは!
(If you just want to see the new patch notes, please scroll down to the bottom.)We heard you loud and clear: Starting today, we're offering support for nine more languages in
Police Simulator: Patrol Officers – making the game even more accessible. A simulation game that is as realistic and comprehensive as ours, might have a bunch of technical terms which are not so easy to understand if you are not a native English speaker. We can't wait to see even more of you starting their first shifts in Brighton, protecting the city and helping citizens in need!
Keep in mind that - for now - voiceovers will stay in German and English. Only written text has been localized to the new languages. In addition, there might be some mistakes or spelling errors still present in a few areas - but we'll constantly work on ironing them out throughout the months to come! Also, as we update the game quite frequently, we might get to a point at which it can take a while until all localizations have caught up to the most recent changes. In the meantime, bits and pieces are shown in English while the rest is fully localized.
To select a new language, head over to the
settings and then to
audio.
Here's the full list of new languages supported by the game:
- French
- Italian
- Spanish
- Turkish
- Polish
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Russian
- Korean
- Japanese
[h2]Community Translations![/h2]
Yes, you can take part as well! We're currently in the middle of the process to put up all the original text on a platform and letting you, the community, take part in the translation process. This approach makes it possible - if the demand is high enough - to localize the game into less frequently spoken languages as well!
Do you want to see the game in... Hungarian? Dutch? Greek? Something else? Help us out!
If you want to participate and have already collected some experience in that field, please send an email to
[email protected] with the subject line 'Community Translation', your language, and prior experience with translations.
Together, we can make it happen!
[h2]What else is new?[/h2]
Today's update 1.2.0 doesn't just add the new languages - no, there's more! We're also shipping a bunch of fixes, balancing changes, overall improvements and new features! Hooray!
Our biggest change made touches the
Focus Mode which can now be used while sitting in the patrol car. This way, you can now focus on cars driving by to get intuition feedback about different violations.
Our development team had something cool in mind when implementing this feature: In a way, this enables you to roleplay better and reenact how police work is often done. For example, you can now park at the side of the street and focus on cars that pass by. When a focused car has a violation, you will receive intuition feedback, now knowing that there’s something wrong with the car or the driver. You then can follow the car, pull it over and detain the driver in a terry stop.
Other than that, we've also improved the keybinding UI in the settings menu. Yes, this once again also touches the Focus Mode which is now on the left mouse button by default (previously, it has been on the right one). This enables you to use the Focus Mode while also having tools equipped and in hand. You're holding the radar gun? Hey, you can now still keep it in your hands and focus on stuff without having to holster your currently equipped tool. IT'S MULTITASKING TIME.
