Development Blog 09 - Lost in Translation

Translation support is now added!

After checking out where people have been viewing the game from, I've noticed there are quite a few non-English speaking countries so I've spent the night adding in the ability for people to translate the game. While I'm only English speaking myself the hope that people will utilise this functionality and share their translations around.

Its a really simple system, make a copy of a Language xml file, open it with a text editor and any sentences (In theory) you see in the game you define then write a translation for it. The language then appears in a list on the main menu and you can select it. Anything not translated uses the default English in its place.

Not exactly gameplay but I wanted something different to work on and I hope non-English speakers appreciate it. Soon I'll work on something more interesting.
