I am managing a Chinese KENSHI forum now, here is the address btw http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=kenshi&fr=w ... c&ie=utf-8 . This game will be really popular, but language always keep players from it, the most frequent question being asked in my form is "when we can get Chinese language in game?" So why don't you give the text of game to me or open it to public, so we can figure out the language problem.

As a not Chinese, your forum is burning my eyes. :lol: But that's just me. Keep doing what you're doing ;)

I totally understand what you're saying! And I do receive a lot of super kind offers from people offering to translate Kenshi into various languages - but at the moment we can't actually add language settings into the game (technical reasons that my tiny brain can't comprehend ;p). We will be trying to make it available in other languages soon though, hopefully - I'm currently collecting contacts of anyone who can translate for us.

I'm happy to help in translating it in Finnish :lol: I'd still prefer English version though and I think so would many others. Maybe it would be some use for kids :roll:

I know french and Russian support has been requested several times on the steam forums. Sadly I can't translate either of them.

Hrm I have a friend who's fluent in Spanish. He can also translate Japanese, though not perfectly. If you look at the screenshots on steam, there ARE Japanese players. As for his skill, I recently had him translate a Japanese song, and all the text in its music video, so I could give a properly English subtitled version. (I'll post links to it once I finish the sub. Believe it or not matching motion while masking existing text can actually be really time consuming). I gifted him a copy of the game, so I'll see if he's interested.

I believe we'll need a translator fluent in Jersey.
