Mr. D Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Hey all, As some of you know, "Domination: Earth" supports translations of all in-game texts into any number of languages (your current language is defined by your phone's language setting). However, as our team is fairly small and it's just me doing all translations currently we can't really expand in that area: we are aware that we have many players who speak German, Spanish and French, but as much as we'd love to translate the game into those languages, we have no one who speaks those fluently (my knowledge of German is somewhat intermediate, while my Spanish and French are, well, basic at best ). So I thought "Perhaps we should go open-source with our translations?" and give our community a way to join in. We would really appreciate any help with any language (not just the three I mentioned) and you'd be able to contribute in any amount that you have time for (even if you translate 1 phrase only - that still helps!). The languages would exist as an open sheet that is possible to edit by anyone, so obviously some moderation would be required. Accordingly, I am looking to create a forum-based group of "Localization Managers" who would have access to this sheet and the ability to review each other's changes. If you like this idea and would like to volunteer to help translate the game into your language - please post! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, we already have a Russian version of the game (as that is the only other language I speak fluently ), but any help is welcome in terms of spotting typos and stuff! 13 minutes ago, Ruvox said: Me and @SebRut are native German speakers and would like to help you out with that That is awesome, thank you!

marcofi Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I can help with Italian. I know that (unfortunately) many Italian people can't properly understand English, and they won't play if the game does not support Italian language.
